TECNA ATEX-Rated Balancers FOR SALE
Buy Explosion-Resistant Retractors and Zero-Gravity Balancers from our IN-STOCK Inventory
TECNA ATEX-rated explosion-resistant retractors and zero-gravity balancers are ideal for installation in hazardous conditions. This includes explosive areas containing flammable gases or combustible dust. TECNA explosion-resistant retractors and balancers are ATEX certified to Ex II 2G c T6 and Ex II 2D c T85°C.
TECNA balancers and retractors make tools nearly weightless, reducing operator fatigue and improving safety and ergonomics. As the tool is repositioned the stainless steel cable extends and retracts smoothly from the aluminum housing, providing full range of motion. Tension adjustment is easy and precise.
TECNA was the first to develop a dedicated line of retractors and zero-gravity balancers with ATEX certification suitable for use in areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere composed of flammable gases or combustible materials. TECNA AX balancers, depending on the models, are compatible with most flammable fumes, gases including Propane, Ethylene, Acetylene, and Hydrogen (IIC group). TECNA AX balancers can also be used for flammable dust applications, or applications with flour or flammable powders in suspension.
