Description
Pneumatic balancers are ergonomic industrial lifting devices that use compressed air to lift and lower loads. They let the user control the load precisely and safely, improving ergonomics and reducing physical strain. Pneumatic balancers made by Knight Global in particular are known for their quality and versatile features.
How pneumatic balancers work and their benefits
Pneumatic balancers work with compressed air, which lets the load “float” – it can be moved precisely and lightly without mechanical resistance. This makes them ideal for tasks that need repeated, precise load handling, such as on assembly lines or in warehouses. The user can control the movement with push buttons or an ergonomic handle that responds to hand movements, allowing loads of up to 300 kg to be moved with little effort.
Knight Global model series and features
Knight Global offers a wide range of pneumatic balancers for different purposes:
- KBA series (cable): Suits lighter loads and offers a longer stroke.
- KBC series (chain): Designed for heavier loads and high duty cycles.
- KBCS SDS series: Model with a safety chain that prevents the load from falling.
- EX models: Fitted with an external return control that regulates lifting speed.
- LS models: Include limit switches that allow the load to be stopped at predefined points.
All models are CE-approved and designed for use with clean, dry, non-lubricated compressed air.
Technical data of the basic models
The table below shows the technical specifications of the basic KBA series models:
| Model | Load (kg) | Travel (mm) | Weight (kg) |
