counterweight systems

A counterweight system uses a weight, or weights, to balance and support the movement of a load, making it easier to lift or lower objects. Commonly seen in elevators or theater curtains, the counterweight offsets the weight of the load, reducing the effort needed to move it. This balancing act allows smooth, controlled movement with less energy or force. The counterweight is carefully chosen to match the load's weight, ensuring safety and efficiency in operation.
