Selection Guide
the appropriate type of CAP BALANCER
for the equipment to be installed.
Please check the following points when selecting.

Need for a free stop function
Do you need a free stop function that allows the lid to remain stationary at any desired opening angle?

Need for a waterproof type
(Check the operating environment)
Depending on the environment, a waterproof type with sealed springs and bearings is required.

Torque calculation
(Selection of applicable products)
Calculate the torque of the cover or lid and select the appropriate model.
Cases where mounting is not possible
CAP BALANCER can be used on top-opening covers and lids. If the cover or lid is tilted more than 45 degrees to the left or right when viewed from the CAP BALANCER attached to the cover or lid, it cannot be used. (Even if the inclination angle is small, the cap balancer may not be used under certain conditions.)

Three checkpoints
CHECK POINT
Q Do I need a free stop function?
Please consider whether you need a free stop function that allows the lid or cover to remain stationary at any desired opening angle for greater safety.
If necessary, the "CAP BALANCER Free Stop Type" is applicable. If you want to prevent the lid or cover from lifting up when closed, or if you want it to remain stationary
at any desired
opening, please
consider the safer
free-stop type.


CAP BALANCER
Free Stop Type
*Not available for heavy lids weighing more than 40 kg.
Q Do you use it in an environment where it is frequently washed or corrosive gases are generated?
Q Do you use it in an environment where it is frequently washed or corrosive gases are generated?
We recommend the waterproof type for environments such as food factories where tanks and equipment are frequently cleaned or where corrosive gases are generated and rust easily.
The waterproof type is waterproofed inside the spring case by means of packing and oil seal, so there is no need to worry about rusting. It also prevents dust (grease) generated by spring rubbing from getting mixed in. The waterproof type's dustproof and waterproof performance is
equivalent to
IP67.


CAP BALANCER
Free Stop Type
*All free stop type camp balancers are waterproof type (standard specification).

CAP BALANCER
Spring Assisted TypeWaterproof type
*Please note that some products are not compatible with waterproof type.
Please calculate the maximum torque of the lid and select the applicable product.
You can use the formula below to calculate the torque for lids and covers.
(Torque calculation by the customer is not mandatory. Please feel free to contact us for installation and product selection).

Convenient "automatic torque calculation" is also available.
If the calculated torque corresponds to the "Torque range of the lid suitable for use" in the product information, the product is ready for use.
