About the Demag electric balancer

The Demag electric balancer is an electronically controlled compact hoist, with which sensitive parts can be handled very smoothly and gently and workpieces can be positioned with maximum precision.

Designed for handling loads weighing up to 160 kg, the electric balancer has two operating modes. Thanks to its unique load pick-up mode, the Demag electric balancer can hold a load precisely and perfectly in balance, without specific position tolerances and with no possibility of the load dropping. Assembly mode provides for a high level of safety and precision for assembly operations, since any oscillation and uncontrolled load movements are eliminated.

Load handling operations can be conveniently controlled in “Grip control” mode using the D-Grip handle. When it is switched to “Load control”, the electric balancer acts like an extension to the operator’s arm, enabling loads to be handled and guided direct by slight movements.
