Extension arm pneumatic balancer

P/N: KEAA2000 / KEAA2500

The Knight Global KEAA2000 and KEAA2500 extension arm pneumatic balancer series lets operators reach beyond the working envelope of the overhead rail system within a workstation. An air balancer is mounted on the extension arm to provide controlled lifting and lowering of the load.

The KEAA2000 and KEAA2500 travel inside Knight Global RAD4110, RAD6110 or RAD7510 aluminum rail systems. Two main versions are available:

KEAA2500 - Single Bridge: suited to light and medium duty applications, with a compact, lightweight structure.
KEAA2000 - Dual Bridge: higher load capacity and greater stability when handling heavy and offset loads.

When selecting an air balancer, FULLSHARP recommends sizing the working load at 80% of rated capacity to allow for fluctuations in plant air pressure and ensure stable operation. Balancers are rated at a standard pressure of 100 psi [6.8 bar].

Actual lifting capacity formula: Example - plant air 60 psi, 350 lbs balancer, 80% load factor → (60/100) x 350 lbs = 210 lbs x 0.80 = 168 lbs actual working capacity.

Features & benefits

Features

  • Single bridge or dual bridge configuration.
  • Travels inside Knight RAD4110, RAD6110 or RAD7510 rail systems.
  • CE Compliant.
  • Wide range of control configurations.
  • Angle adjustment in 10° increments (10° up / 10° down).
  • Horizontal adjustment up to 6.8 in. [172 mm] in 2.3 in. increments.
  • Requires clean, dry, non-lubricated air.
  • Maximum balancing capacity: up to 700 lbs [317 kg].
  • Chain configuration.

Benefits

  • Extends the working area of a standard balancer.
  • Reaches beyond the limits of the overhead rail system.
  • Allows 360° rotation.
  • Controlled lifting and lowering with drop protection.
  • Reduces operator fatigue and increases productivity.
  • Integrates easily with existing Knight rail systems.
  • Controls sold separately (Up/Down or Balance).
  • Easily customized for specific applications.

Maintenance recommendation: Knight Global recommends a food grade, high pressure, anti-wear penetrating lubricant — Lubriplate® 1241 for wire rope, or SAE 50-90 EP machine/gear oil for load chain.
