Kromer balancers
Balancers · GEDO selection
Balancers, retractors, positioners and hose versions: Kromer ranges support different ways of working. First choose how the tool should behave, then select load and stroke.
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.
Ranges to compare
Retractors
To clear the workstation after tool use. Compare return behaviour and stroke for each version.
82 series balancers
To offset tool weight during work, with different capacities and strokes. Check relationships with 72-series versions using the full reference.
Pneumatic hose versions
Combined suspension and air supply. Hose dimensions and pressure are part of the selection criteria.
ATEX balancers
For explosive atmospheres, according to the exact marking and selected configuration.
Rust-free versions
For workstations with specific material requirements. Check suitability for your cleaning process.
ESD versions
For electrostatic discharge control at the workstation, separately from any ATEX requirement.
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.
