Knight Tandem pneumatic balancers are designed primarily for loads above 700 lbs [318 kg]. The tandem design delivers the capacity of a reeved balancer while retaining the longer stroke of a standard single balancer.
The chain version uses a special grade 80 load chain with a dedicated surface treatment that extends service life by up to 300% compared with standard grade 80 chain.
Operating at 80% of rated capacity is recommended to compensate for fluctuations in plant air pressure. Units are rated at 100 psi [6.8 bar].
Example: 60 psi plant air × 350 lbs balancer × 0.80 = 168 lbs actual working capacity
