Lifting and Pulling

Counterbalancers

A spring controls the tension.

Air-Controlled Counterbalancers

Cable tension is controlled by an air regulator for precise, constant tool positioning.

Counterbalancers with Air Hose

Support the weight of your tool with air hose instead of a separate cable.

Automatic-Return Hanging Retractors

Let go of your tool and the cable pulls it back up.

Manual-Return Hanging Retractors

Lift your tool until the cable retracts into the housing.

Bolt-Mount Retractors

Housings have predrilled holes for mounting.

Bolt-Mount Retractors with Stem

Drill through the stem to mount.

Shaft-Mount Retractors

Shaft-Mount Retractors

Secure to a square arbor.

Portable Retractors

Attach to your belt or belt loop.

Window Balancers

Side-Mount Window Balancers

Install these balancers on a vertical frame to suspend, lift, or lower objects that move vertically in a track such as windows, doors, and panels.

Overhead-Mount Window Balancers

Overhead-Mount Window Balancers

Mount these balancers in the corner of a horizontal frame to suspend, lift, or lower objects that move vertically in a track such as windows, doors, and panels.

Springs

Constant-Force Retractors

For controlled extension and retraction, these retractors provide the same amount of force no matter how far you extend them. The flexible attachment cable allows a wider range of movement than standard constant-force springs.

Clip-On Constant-Force Springs

Clip-On Constant-Force Springs

Clip the end onto a flat surface to install—no fasteners needed. Once installed, these springs pull back with the same amount of force no matter how far you extend them.

Constant-Force Springs

No matter how far you extend them, these springs pull back with the same amount of force.

Rotor Springs

Rotor Springs

Wind these springs to store power, then release them to create rotary motion—similar to winding a wristwatch. Also known as clock springs and power springs.

Variable-Force Springs

Variable-Force Springs

Unlike constant-force springs, the farther you pull these, the harder they are to pull. Use them for applications where the load becomes lighter as the spring contracts, such as in automated dispensing machines.
