3-1 Summary of Magical Balancer
3-1-1 Functions of Magical Balancer
The Magical Balancer EDB series models are hoisting machines operated with compressed air
and air cylinders. The balancers can be used for cargo handling and transportation.
The piston is pushed out by the air supply and rotates the drum, thereby winding up the wire rope
around the drum.
When the air is released, the wire rope is reeled out by the self weight of the bottom hook and the
load.
The supply and release of the air are controlled with electrical signals.
