With 18 standard length options to suit most applications. Anti-wear feature that prevents damage to the aluminum housing and can be replaced without dismantling the housing. The Wire replacement can be done without dismantling the body. Containerised spring cartridge feature for safe and simple servicing and replacements. The Yale YBF range are available with a a choice of cable lengths up to 1.5 mtr long for capacities up to 200kgs. (Longer lift models available)
A spiral groove on a tapered drum, the winding radius is increased to match the torque build-up of the spring, thus neutralising it and achieving a balanced condition. This is the main difference between spring balancers and retractors.
Retractors are designed to retract the cable when no force is applied. An amount of downward force must be continually applied to keep the suspended object at its extended position. The torque output of the rewind spring increases as the cable is extended, and retracting the suspended object to the uppermost adjusted position when released. Enclosed body design ensures operator safety; no trapped fingers or hands.
