Endo Kogyo

What Endo Kogyo does

Endo Kogyo (遠藤工業株式会社) is a privately-held Japanese industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1871 and headquartered in Tsubame, Niigata, Japan. The company designs, manufactures, and sells three core product categories: (1) material handling equipment — spring balancers, air hoists, air balancers, electro-pneumatic balancers ("Magical Balancer" EDB series), and electric servo balancers with rated loads up to 300 kg; (2) power supply equipment — spring-loaded cable reels (including a specialized EV/PHV charging reel), hose reels, and slip rings including fiber optic rotary joints (FORJ, i-FORJ); and (3) environmental machinery — industrial crushers and high-speed cutting machines for soft materials. Products are organized around four power-source technologies (spring, electric servo, compressed air, and electro-pneumatic hybrid), enabling coverage of use cases ranging from lightweight tool suspension to explosion-proof and food-grade environments.

The company operates two manufacturing facilities in Tsubame (Eco Factory EAST and WEST), four product showrooms in Japan (T-Room in Nagoya and Fukuoka, plus aluminum-rail satellite showrooms in Saitama and Higashiosaka), and maintains overseas subsidiaries in China (ENDO KOGYO SHANGHAI CO., LTD.) and India (ENDO KOGYO INDIA PVT. LTD.). Distribution is led by direct sales from Japan, supplemented by 35+ third-party distributors across Asia/Oceania, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and the Americas. Customers are predominantly manufacturing and industrial production sites; named users include Nihon Valve (Hokkaido Factory), Kato Seiyu, and an anonymized Shiga Prefecture manufacturer. Endo Kogyo is ISO 9001 (since 1997) and ISO 14001 (since 2010) certified, and is led by President Takashi Endo. Revenue is generated through hardware sales and after-sales service / spare parts, with all pricing conducted on a quote basis rather than publicly disclosed.

Products and services

• Spring Balancer (スプリングバランサー) Spring-powered balancer using coil spring tension to neutralize the weight of suspended tools, enabling industrial workers to handle tools with minimal force. For tool suspension applications where loads are not landed on the ground.
• Air Hoist (エアホイスト) Pneumatic hoist operated by compressed air and air cylinder for loading, unloading and transport of heavy workpieces in industrial environments.
• Self-Lock (セルフロック) Safety device that automatically locks to prevent falls when used with human operators or rigid bodies in lifting operations.
• Air Balancer (エアバランサー) Pneumatic balancer using air cylinders with lift control module (floating feature) or balance control module for material handling. Reduces air consumption to approximately 1/7 compared to air hoists.
• Magical Balancer / Electro-Pneumatic Balancer (電空バランサー まじかるくん, EDB Series) Electro-pneumatic balancer combining compressed air power with electronic servo control. Rated load up to 130 kg with smoother operation than standard air balancers. Enables balance operation and manual vertical position control over the full stroke range.
• Servo Balancer (サーボバランサー) Electric balancer using servo motor technology for loads up to 300 kg. Enables precise positioning through servo control and automatically follows load fluctuations of suspended workpieces without requiring re-setting.
• Easy Positioner (イージーポジショナー) Electric balancer positioning device designed for easy manipulation of suspended loads with minimal force required.
• Karakuri Series (からくりシリーズ) Mechanical handling equipment series including Zenmai motors and counter-reaction balancers for various industrial applications.
• Rail System (レールシステム) Aluminum rail system enabling horizontal movement of lifting equipment for easy transportation and transfer by hand, used alongside Endo Kogyo balancers.
• Jib Crane (ジブクレーン) Floor-fixed post type jib crane with aluminum rails enabling 360-degree rotation for safe and reliable load transfer combined with hoisting equipment.
• Kensui (けんすい) Air Balancer with Hoist Function Air balancer with lift/hoist capability rated for 0–70 kg lifting capacity, explosion-proof capability for hazardous areas, maximum lifting speed of 50 m/min, low center-of-gravity structure, anodized aluminum body, and fall-arrest mechanism.
• Cable Reel (ケーブルリール) Spring-loaded cable reels for power and signal cable management in industrial environments, including a specialized EV/PHV charging cable reel (CRL-4424W EV) for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
• Hose Reel (ホースリール) Spring-loaded hose reels for managing air, water, or other fluid hoses in industrial settings.
• Slip Ring (スリップリング) Rotary electrical connector enabling transmission of power and signals through rotating interfaces. Includes small form factor models, fiber optic rotary joints (FORJ), and integrated fiber optic rotary joints (i-FORJ).
• Crusher (破砕機) Industrial crusher machines for processing waste materials, including chip crushers (切粉破砕機) for machining swarf reduction.
• High-Speed Cutting Machine (高速カッティングマシン) High-speed cutting machine for processing soft materials including various fibers, soft plastics, rubber and sponge.
• Retractor (リトラクター) Spring-loaded retractor devices for retracting and managing cables, hoses and tools in industrial workstations.
