Pneumatic counterbalance integrates with existing press controls

ROSS CONTROLS® has introduced a 1.25-in. automatic pneumatic counterbalance for large mechanical stamping presses. The system can be integrated with existing press controls to set and maintain the correct pressure for each die set. It meets ANSI B11.1 requirements and is available in a variety of port threads, voltages, and electrical connections.

Properly set counterbalance pressures on each production run will eliminate gear and bearing clearances to reduce force loading, wear, and motor loads. Two selectable modes of operation, manual or automatic using two-way poppet internals, provide positive shifting in demanding low-flow applications. All solenoids and main valve internals are interchangeable and can be serviced from the top.
