Balancers for ATEX atmospheres
Applications
Select tool suspension from your area requirements and the marking of the complete reference. Gas or dust atmosphere, temperature and requested options must be considered alongside weight and useful travel.
Define the environment first
Provide the zone classification, atmosphere type, gas or dust groups and required temperature limits. The ATEX selector supports initial selection; the product page and reference-specific documents describe the version.
Check load, travel and controls together
A requirement for 45 kg, at least 2 m travel and locking must be treated as a complete combination. An ATEX version in a series does not qualify every option. Review the configured reference and its documents.
Specify the correct suspended components
Describe connections, mounting and suspended accessories. Locking, braking and swivel devices must be documented for the version. GEDO checks the proposed configuration against the requirements you provide.

| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| II | Equipment group for explosive atmospheres outside mines |
| 2G / 2D | Category 2 for gas (G) or dust (D). Selection depends on area classification, the substances present and the installation documentation. |
| Ex h | Protection of non-electrical equipment. The specific protection method is described in the documentation. |
| IIA / IIB / IIC | Gas group to be matched to the installation’s atmosphere |
| IIIC | Dust group including conductive dust |
| T6 / T85 °C | Temperature class for gas / maximum surface temperature for dust |
| Gb / Db | Equipment protection level for gas / dust |
| X | Special conditions of use to be followed in the equipment documentation |
Ex h alone does not identify a single protection method. Check suitability against the complete marking, instructions and actual installation conditions.

The applicable marking is that of the complete reference and its documentation. Do not add an option not documented for that ATEX version. Load ranges cover several references.
References illustrating different designs
These examples cover different capacities and movement behaviours. Enter your load and travel in the selector before choosing a configuration.
Questions to help you choose
Is selecting the ATEX filter sufficient?
The filter provides an initial shortlist. Then check marking and the complete configuration against installation conditions.
What should my specification include?
Provide total suspended weight, travel, zone, atmosphere, required marking and any locking or swivel requirements.
