Reduce Workers’ Compensation Claims
Research is beginning to show that thousands of case of tennis elbow and back disorders are being connected to
improper support of production tools. Reaching, pulling at an angle, and excessive force required to move that tool up
or down can contribute to chronic medical problems. It is suspected that properly applied and adjusted tool balancers
suspended from functional overhead support systems will greatly reduce the number of these costly claims.

 FEATURES

POWERMASTER NEW SEW SERIES Spring Balancers are specially designed to free the operator from weight
4 of the tools. The tool can be pulled down with least pressure, without any strain or fatigue. Handling of the tool is very
easy as the load and pressure required for operation is counter balanced in the mechanism of the Spring Balancer
itself. The operation is free of gravitational force.
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION Main housing and cover plate are manufactured from high tensile light weight
MITAL® Aluminium Alloy for maximum resistance against impact and ease of handling. Upper support hook
assembly and bottom suspension hook assemblies are manufactured of forged steel to provide maximum safety.
Standard flexible wire rope is needed for cables to provide good flexibility and fall safety.
TAPERED CABLE DRUM Unique cable drum design matches the middle turns of spring, where the optimum
Torque build-up is constant. This design feature provides smooth and even cable tension throughout the entire
length of cable travel.
EXTERNAL TENSION ADJUSTMENT External tension adjustment is easily accessible from the floor. Tension
can be set at exact requirement through a hardened worm gear system. No Special tools needed.
SWIVEL ON TOP HOOK Allows 360 degree rotation. Positions the balancer for easiest cable flow. Prolongscablelife.
CONTAINERIZED MAIN SPRING Model SEW-15 to SEW-200 come with completely containerized (cartridge type)
main spring. This eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to handle loose dangerous springs. Spare springs
are supplied encased in a container.
AUTOMATIC DRUM LOCK If spring tension declines sharply, an automatic locking mechanism immediately
engages, preventing the load from falling.
MANUAL DRUM LOCK Suspended tools can be changed easily by engaging the manual drum lock. After tool or
cable has been replaced - WITH FULL LOAD ATTACHED, manual drum lock can be released - DO NOT RELEASE
MANUAL DRUM LOCK WITHOUT ATTACHING FULL LOAD. This can be done on the job site in minutes, without
removing tension on the balancer cable. This convenience makes change over safe, simple and reducing
costly downtime.
WEIGHT INDICATOR DIAL Indicates weight of suspended tool. Available for models SEW-9 to SEW-120
and SLR-15 to SLR-70.

1. Forged Hooks - Top and bottom hooks have a safety latch to prevent accidental unhooking of either
balancer from top hanger or suspended tool from the balancer.
2. Swivel on Top Hook - Allow full 360 rotation. Positions balancer for easiest cable flow. Prolongs cable life.
3. Hanger for Secondary Support Chain - Upper and lower hanger are provided for attachment of secondary
support chains to provide additional safety and to prevent possibility of balancer and load falling accidentally.
4. Manual Safety Lock - Positively locks rotation of the drum. A must when replacing a cable, changing the
load or renewing the spring.
5. Safety Stop Arm - Automatically locks the cable, drum and holds the load in place if the main spring fails.
6. Hardened Worm and Worm Gear Load Adjustment - Permits exact external balancing of load.
7. Self-Contained Spring - allows cable replacement without disassembly. Spring is retained in a steel collar.
8. Stranded Steel Cable - resists kinking .... reduces drum wear .... requires no lubrication .... outwears plain
steel cable.
9. Shock Absorber
10. Tapered Cable Drum - Assures even tension in cable throughout working range.
11. Steel Drum Shaft - Precision made for extra life and added safety.

wear and drum wear.

TOTAL LOAD - When selecting a balancer, first consideration should be given to the weight of the load to be
balanced (tool plus cable or hose plus other attachment). When the total weight has been determined, the balancer
model with the proper tension (weight range) can be chosen. POWERMASTER balancers have an external device
for “on-the-job” tension adjustment. The adjustment range for each model is specified in the selection tables.
BALANCER MOUNTING - For maximum operator efficiency and balancer life, the tool balancer should always be
mounted directly over the work area, with vertical axis perpendicular to the floor when in use. Working with the load
not perpendicular causes operator fatigue and excessive wear on balancer cable and drum. When it is necessary to
continuously move the balancer and tool from one position to another, a system of trolley and runways can be used. 11
Contact us for choice of trolleys and runways available.
CABLE TRAVEL - Cable travel is the total length of cable which can be installed on and pulled out of a balancer.
CABLE OVERHANG - Cable overhang is any additional length of cable attached to or part of the active cable,
which is not retracted into the balancer. Overhang cable is often necessary for work area with high ceilings.
SECONDARY SUPPORT CHAIN - It is strongly recommended that all balancers mounted overhead have a
secondary chain attached, to prevent the possibility of the balancer accidentally falling. The chain attaches to the
balancer with the other end attached to a support other than the one that supports the balancer. The length of
the chain should be kept to an absolute minimum.
