The brand and its applications

The Kromer range distinguishes a retractor, which returns the tool towards its resting position, from a balancer intended to offset its weight within the working area. Positioners address a holding-position requirement. ATEX, ESD and Rust-free versions are selected separately.

The thirteen Kromer types

Identify a series, then check the exact product page before ordering.

Current balancers use 82 item numbers; retractors 7200, 7211/7212 and 7221/7222 retain their numbers. Old 72 balancers remain searchable to find their replacements. ATEX, ESD and Rust-free are separate versions selected by the full item number.

Choose for your workstation

For repeated tasks, specify whether the tool should remain within reach or retract after use. Total load includes couplings and the suspended hose. For a cleanroom, provide the required class, cleaning and materials: Rust-free and Cleanroom are not interchangeable designations.

Frequently asked questions

Balancer or retractor?

Choose a balancer to offset weight in the working area, or a retractor to return the tool after use. Check this behaviour on the product page, beyond the capacity in kilograms.

How do I select a cleanroom model?

Specify the required class, cleaning agents, permitted materials, load and stroke. A Rust-free designation alone does not establish suitability for a cleanroom class.

What is needed to replace an older Kromer?

Provide the complete nameplate reference, load range, stroke and fitted devices. Do not infer equivalence from the 72 or 82 reference prefix alone.

Tell GEDO what you need

Specify total suspended weight, working stroke, environment and mounting requirements. Compare references, choose compatible accessories and prepare your selection for purchase or a quote request.
