The Model ZAW050080S air balancer by IR

Dobco Equipment partners with Ingersoll Rand (IR) to supply the world’s best construction and industrial equipment in Canada. This includes the Zimmerman Zim Air (ZA) series of industrial air balancers – like the Model ZAW050080S. This tool has a capacity of 227 kilograms, or 500 pounds, at 100 pounds per square inch.

Like the rest of IR’s Zimmerman ergonomic handling systems, this unit is a perfect combination of air balance and control, designed for high-speed, precision handling of loads with differing weights.

Top safety and productivity

With the ZA series of industrial air balancers, users achieve vertical movement through an ergonomically designed pendant with low-effort, colour-coded thumb levers. After the load is positioned with the pendant control, the unit defaults into a balanced load condition that enables as much as 457 millimetres (mm) of travel for the operator to adjust loads manually for final positioning. Dobco particularly recommends these balancers for pick-and-place and precision-assembly applications.

The Model ZAW050080S is highly durable and reliable. Each balancer has all-steel housing, engineered plastic, aircraft-grade wire rope, and a self-closing cast safety hook. Features that enhance reliability include precise positioning, a pre-lubricated piston chamber, intuitive speed control, and continuous-duty operation.

These industrial air balancers also boost productivity. Users gain flexibility with ultra-low air consumption, clean oil-free operation, and long cable travels. Suspension kits are available for most enclosed track manufacturers, as are I-beam, patented/hardened-track, and hook-mounted configurations. The pendant control allows not only variable speed, but also feathering of load position.

Safety is another key benefit. A spring-loaded centrifugal brake automatically stops rapid upward cable travel when a load is inadvertently lost, and if air supply is interrupted, the unit maintains the load in the suspended position. The lifted load can never exceed the maximum rated capacity at a given air pressure, resulting in intrinsic overload protection, and the optional Z-stop prevents down-drift of suspended loads within 152 mm if air supply is shut down.

The Model ZAW050080S air balancer has a vertical travel of 2.032 metres, a net weight of 50 kilograms, and 3.7 metres of standard hose length.
