Intended user and use of the device Application of the device Balancer is a dynamic, suspension-type arm support: the weight of the arm is compensated for from above. A cord attached to the arm of the user fed through a system of tubes to a pre-tensioned spring mechanism which enables the user to move the forearm freely.
Technical information Horizontal arm Hinge 1 Cord Attachment for arm- fitting Vertical arm Hinge 2 Spring mechanism Description The following components of Balancer are described below: From the user’s perspective, the point of contact with Balancer is via the wrist/arm-fitting into which the user’s wrist/arm is inserted.
Adapting the arm balance Balancer can be designed with both a wrist- and an arm-fitting. This enables the forearm to be balanced. Warning: The functioning of Balancer is to a large part determined by the settings on the wrist- and arm-fitting. Altering these settings can result is a significant deterioration in performance or the Balancer not functioning at all.
Adapting the balancing force To enable the arm to move freely, the weight of the arm is compensated for using a balancing system. Considerable forces are required to compensate for the weight of the arm. In order to use the system safely, it is essential for the arm to be in a stable position in the arm- fitting The balancing force can be modified by turning the knob on the spring...
Assembly instructions The horizontal arm of Balancer should be positioned slightly above the user’s head. The position of the housing with the spring mechanism depends on the available space. It’s important that you do not select a setting that brings about an unfavourable horizontal arc (the range of the rotating arm).
