Atlas Copco WP-05-1-A Balancer

Atlas Copco WP-05-1-A is a weightless positioning balancer in the WP family designed to suspend a tool overhead and keep the load neutral as it’s moved along the work area. It supports a payload range of 0.4–1.2 kg (0.9–2.6 lb) and comes with a 4.8 m steel cable, enabling smooth, repeatable repositioning of the load. The WP05 series housing is plastic (WP 05/10 plastic), while other WP models use aluminum or abrasion‑resistant aluminum, and the unit weighs about 2.9 lb (1.3 kg) with a package size of 26.9 x 13.3 x 18 cm (1.52 kg). Overall dimensions are A 71 mm, B 141 mm, and C 3660 mm. Key features include a steel cable with a cable stop buffer, a safety chain, and quick cable replacement, with extended cable lengths available for longer reach. The WP‑05‑1‑A carries Atlas Copco part number 8202 0778 05 and is sourced from Germany. Benefits include holding the payload in a constant position and reducing operator fatigue by enabling precise, repeatable tool positioning along the full cable travel.
