Chicago Pneumatic 8941099230 Tool Balancer 17.6 Lb

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC 8941099230 is a medium-duty tool balancer designed to suspend and counterbalance hand tools in production, assembly, and service environments. It supports a load range of 13.20 to 17.60 pounds, keeping tools at the operator's working height without constant lifting effort. The retractable cable is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability under repeated cycling. An aluminum housing keeps the unit lightweight for overhead mounting. Tension adjustment allows the balancer to be tuned to the specific weight of the tool in use, while the locking mechanism enables the cable to be fixed at a set position when needed.

This tool balancer suits medium-duty applications in automotive service bays, MRO facilities, light manufacturing lines, and assembly stations where tools such as pneumatic screwdrivers, grinders, or drills are used continuously. The 6.5-foot cable length provides a practical working range for bench-height to overhead installations. The locking feature is especially useful in applications requiring precise, consistent tool positioning.

Key Features

• Load range of 13.20 to 17.60 pounds covers common medium-duty pneumatic and electric hand tools
• Stainless steel cable resists corrosion in washdown and humid environments
• Aluminum housing reduces overall hanging weight for overhead mounting structures
• Tension adjustment allows fine-tuning to match tool weight and operator preference
• Lockable cable mechanism fixes tool position at a set height
• 6.5-foot cable length suits a wide range of overhead mounting heights

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tool balancer for medium-duty hand tools within the 13.20 to 17.60 pound load range, suitable for use in assembly, production, and service station overhead mounting applications.

Installation Notes

Tool balancers are typically installed by maintenance technicians or facility personnel using a certified overhead anchor point rated for the combined weight of the balancer and maximum tool load. Verify that the mounting structure meets applicable load ratings before installation. Adjust cable tension only after the tool is attached and the unit is safely hung. Inspect the cable and locking mechanism periodically for wear before returning the balancer to service.
