Need coil type window balancers

Landlord from Springfield, VA
Need 4 balancers (2 LH +2 RH) for double hung windows approximately 15 pounds per window. The windows are Long Home Products Windows out of Maryland and were installed approximately 10 years ago. They are now out or warranty.  If possible, I really only need the 4-6 metal cams as highlighted in "Balancer 1" photo. They measure 9/16" in diameter and 3/4" in length.

Hello,

Your pivot shoe resembles the 15-177 shown below. Unfortunately, the metal cams are not available separately.

This shoe is used with the S152 coil springs but you only need to replace them if they are broken or not supporting the full weight of the sash. If so, you'll need to check both coils for the stamp codes to choose the corresponding strength options. If they are missing, you should be able to use one S152-7 coil on each side to support a 15-pound sash. We also offer the 15-143, 15-144, and 15-145 support parts for the coil springs.

Thanks Casey!  Concur that 15-177 appears to be the type I need but I am concerned that it does not appear thick enough at 9/16" (mine measures closer to 3/4" thick). Is there a manufacturer for the 15-177 that may make a thicker part?  Happy to buy the assembly if the measurements match up.

We did carry a 3/4" thick version of this shoe at one time but, unfortunately, it was discontinued and we have not been able to locate a suitable replacement at this time. I'm sorry we won't be able to assist with this repair but please let us know if you have any other hardware questions. Thanks for posting.
