FAQ
What is the working load?
Please see table below.
Model | Working Load |
BSM-SA1 | 30 kg |
BSM-SA2 | 15 kg |
BSM-SA3 | 30 kg |
BSM-SA4 | 30 kg |
Can the 30 kg working load cover most EV charging cables?
Yes. For typical CCS1/CCS2 cables of 7 m length and 43 mm² conductor, including the plug, the total weight is ~13.5–16 kg. Therefore, the 30 kg working load is sufficient with a safe margin.
What is your maximum load? What does “Max. load @ 600 mm” mean?
Please see table below. Take 100kg@600mm for example, it means the product can handle up to 100 kg at a 600 mm reach, including occasional pulling or impacts. It is not for long-term use,.
Model | Max. Load |
BSM-SA1 | 80 kg@600mm |
BSM-SA2 | 30 kg@600mm |
BSM-SA3 | 100 kg@600mm |
BSM-SA4 | 80 kg@600mm |
Does the swivel arm balancer meet corrosion resistance requirements?
Q: What corrosion resistance tests have been performed?
A: Tested in a neutral salt spray (NSS) chamber.
Q: What is the minimum requirement?
A: 240 hours salt spray exposure without red rust.
Q: What is the actual test result?
A: 720 hours NSS, no red rust.
What endurance tests have been done on the arm balancer mechanism?
1）Endurance at room temperature
Q: What is the endurance requirement at room temperature?
A: 50,000 cycles without malfunction.
Q: What test has been performed?
A: 100,000 cycles at 30 kg load at room temperature.
Q: What was the result?
A: After 100,000 cycles: no deformation, unit functions well.
2）Endurance at +50 °C@90% relative humidity
Q: What test has been performed?
A: Static load test
- +50 °C, 24 hours, 100 kg load, no breakage.
Q: Does this fulfill the 50,000-cycle requirement at +50 °C@90% RH?
A: No, only static testing has been done; cycling test not yet performed.
Q: Can you perform the 50,000-cycle test at +50 °C@90% RH?
A: Currently not, as a very large climatic chamber is required.
We kindly ask if this test can be carried out in your test laboratory.
3）Endurance at -40 °C
Q: What test has been performed?
A: Static load test at:
- -40 °C, 24 hours, 100 kg load, no breakage.
Q: Does this fulfill the 50,000-cycle requirement at -40 °C?
A: No, only static testing has been done; cycling test not yet performed.
Q: Can you perform the 50,000-cycle test at -40 °C?
A: We currently cannot perform this cycling test.
We kindly ask if this endurance test can be carried out in your test laboratory.
What is your MOQ?
No MOQ. The sample lead time is 10 ~ 12 days.
What information should I provide when sending an inquiry?
To ensure we provide the best possible solution, it would be great to receive the following information:
- Cable Length
- Cable Diameter
- Total Cable Weight
What is the different between BSM-SA1 and BSM-SA3? It looks the same.
The main different points are as below:
- the max. load of BSM-SA1 is 80 kg@600mm, while BSM-SA3 is 100kg@600mm.
- the profile of BSM-SA1 is 60×40 mm, while BSM-SA3 is 80x40mm. BMS-SA3 is more suitable for big size DC charging stations. BSM-SA3 features a more robust appearance that is better suited for larger charging stations, for example, charging stations with a length ≥ 800 mm.
Can I have a custom length and/or colour?
Yes, we support custom lengths and colors. Custom orders typically take 20–25 days to produce. However, for testing purposes, we recommend using our in-stock samples if available, as this can save both time and cost.
Can we have a housing as a compelete set?
Yes, we can design and produce a housing for you based on your EV charging station specifications. However, given the shipping costs, we would suggest that you manufacture it locally (at your end).
Can I only order the cable clamps?
Yes. Please let us know the diameter of your charging cable.
Why Choose a Swivel Arm Balancer over Door-Closer Style Cable Management Systems?
Many premium DC chargers on the market use a door-closer style cable management system, where the cable is guided by a mechanism hidden inside the charger housing. While this solution can look integrated, it also adds design complexity and cost, and is often tied to a specific charger model.
A swivel arm balancer Cable Management System, like the one from BESSUN, offers a more flexible and cost-effective alternative that can be applied to most DC charging stations, including pedestal, wall-mounted, and dispenser-type chargers.
Advantages of Swivel Arm Balancer vs Door-Closer Style Cable Management System
Compared with cable management systems based on door-closer mechanisms inside the charger housing, a swivel arm balancer offers several practical and technical advantages:
- Wider compatibility
Swivel arm balancers can be mounted on DC chargers, without depending on a specific cabinet design. This makes them suitable for both new projects and retrofit upgrades, across different charger brands. - More cost-effective
The structure is simpler and does not require a custom internal mechanism inside the charger. This helps reduce hardware cost and integration cost, which is especially important for large rollouts and multi-site projects. - Easy maintenance
All key components (swivel arm balancer, cable clamp/holder) are accessible from the outside. Technicians can inspect, adjust, or replace parts quickly without opening the charger or affecting its IP rating. - Better charging cable handling
The arm and balancer is designed to support the weight and stiffness of DC charging cables, keeping them off the ground while controlling bending radius and torsion. This helps protect the charging cable and charging connector, extending service life. - Consistent, user-friendly operation
Drivers simply pull the charging cable along the direction of the swivel arm balancer. The movement feels intuitive and keeps the cable path clear, improving safety and overall charging experience.
