With a maximum load capacity of 5.5 pounds and a minimum load capacity of 2.2 pounds, it is sized for handheld pneumatic and electric tools in the light-to-medium range. The retractable stainless steel cable extends to 6.5 feet, keeping tools within reach without slack buildup. A tension adjustment mechanism lets the technician dial in the counterbalance to match the tool weight. The cast aluminum housing is rugged enough for continuous industrial use. Installation and adjustment are handled by maintenance technicians or tool room personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMDS-2 suits overhead mounting applications in manufacturing cells, automotive service bays, assembly stations, and MRO environments where tools are used repeatedly throughout a shift. The balancer keeps the tool floating at a fixed position when released, eliminating the need to set it down between operations. The tension adjustment accommodates tools across the full 2.2 to 5.5-pound load range, making it practical at stations where tool weights vary slightly between tasks. A safety locking device is included as a standard feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum load capacity of 5.5 pounds with a minimum load of 2.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6.5-foot stainless steel retractable cable for extended tool reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTension adjustment allows fine-tuning the counterbalance to match tool weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRugged die-cast aluminum housing built for continuous industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety locking device included as a standard fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy-to-use controls for quick field adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with handheld power tools, pneumatic tools, and similar suspended equipment falling within the 2.2 to 5.5-pound load range. Verify tool weight before installation to confirm it falls within the rated capacity window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool balancers are typically installed by maintenance technicians or facilities personnel using an overhead mounting point rated to exceed the combined weight of the balancer and the suspended tool. Confirm the mounting structure and hardware can safely support the load before hanging the unit. Adjust cable tension only within the rated load range — operating outside the minimum or maximum capacity can cause the tool to drop or the cable to retract uncontrolled. Inspect the cable and locking device periodically per the manufacturer service interval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLockable\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Locking Device\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: INGERSOLL RAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMDS-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"INGERSOLL RAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697002217778,"sku":"BMDS-2","price":289.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3d272b85952ee61102a94c8c1391d902.jpg?v=1788348363","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ingersoll-rand-bmds-2-tool-balancer-5-5-lb-6-5-ft-cable","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
