Ingersoll Rand BMDS-6 Tool Balancer 13.2 Lb 6.5 Ft Cable

Product Description

The INGERSOLL RAND BMDS-6 is a medium-duty tool balancer designed to suspend and counterbalance hand tools on assembly lines, production floors, and service bays. It features a stainless steel retractable cable with a 6.5-foot length and a cast aluminum housing built to handle daily industrial use. The balancer supports a load range of 8.8 to 13.2 pounds, with a tension adjustment mechanism that allows the technician to dial in the correct counterforce for the tool being used. Licensed mechanics, assembly technicians, and service professionals install this unit to reduce operator fatigue and keep tools at the ready without dropping or dragging.

The BMDS-6 is suited for medium-duty industrial and commercial applications including automotive assembly, manufacturing lines, and equipment service facilities. It mounts overhead from a fixed anchor point such as a beam, track, or tool rail. The 6.5-foot cable provides adequate reach for standard workstation depths. The cast aluminum housing keeps the unit lightweight while maintaining structural durability in environments where tools are in constant use throughout the shift.
