Retractors
Retractors - Selection Guide

Aero-Motive® retractors are designed to retract the cable when no downward pressure is applied. Minimal effort is required to hold object at the adjusted position. Effort increases as object is lowered beyond that point. The torque output of the rewind spring increases as the cable is extended, retracting the suspended object to the uppermost adjusted position when released.
