When purchasing a pneumatic balancer, the following aspects should be noted:

1. Load Capacity and Matching

Weight Consideration: Select a balancer with a load capacity slightly higher than the maximum load expected in your application (typically 70% of the rated capacity for optimal "floating" performance). For example, if the combined weight of tools and workpieces is 40kg, a balancer with a 60kg rated capacity is suitable.

Combination Selection: When choosing a combined pneumatic balancer, consider both weight and lifting height. Opt for a single-pulley configuration when possible, as it is cost-effective and easy to operate.

2. Operational Features and Performance

Lifting and Suspension Functions: Ensure the balancer supports both lifting and suspension. For instance, some models offer a 300mm range of weightless suspension, enabling smooth, effortless movement of objects.

Lifting Speed: Choose a balancer with an appropriate lifting speed (e.g., up to 1m/s) to meet operational efficiency requirements.

Variable Speed Control: Models with stepless speed regulation allow for precise adjustments during operation.

3. Safety Features

Overload Protection: Prioritize balancers with overload protection to prevent damage from excessive loads.

Air Disconnection Protection: Look for features like self-locking mechanisms and air disconnection protection to ensure safety in case of sudden air loss.

Emergency Stop: Ensure the balancer is equipped with an emergency stop button for quick shutdown in emergencies.

4. Brand and Quality Assurance

Reputable Brands: Opt for well-known brands with a proven track record in manufacturing pneumatic balancers. For example, Korean brands like KHC and DONGSUNG are known for their quality and reliability.

Genuine Products: Be cautious of counterfeit products. Reputable suppliers often offer guarantees, such as 100 times compensation for fake goods.

5. Maintenance and Support

Ease of Maintenance: Choose a balancer with easily accessible components for routine maintenance.

After-Sales Service: Ensure the supplier provides reliable after-sales service, including technical support and spare parts availability.

Regular Inspections: Establish a maintenance schedule to regularly inspect components like air hoses and pneumatic motors.

6. Environmental Suitability

Explosion-Proof Requirements: In environments with flammable or explosive materials, pneumatic balancers are preferred due to their air-driven operation and lack of electrical components.

Cleanliness: For industries requiring a clean environment, such as food processing, pneumatic balancers are ideal as they produce minimal contamination.

7. Cost and Budget

Initial Investment: Compare the purchase price of different models, considering both upfront costs and long-term value.

Operating Costs: Factor in the cost of compressed air, maintenance, and potential downtime when evaluating the total cost of ownership.
