Hello! This looks like a pretty typical tilt window spiral balance. As such, there are only two options to pick from: either the 3/8" diameter Series 900 or the 9/16" diameter Series 600. They don't make this style in 1/2", unfortunately, so I recommend triple checking the diameter of your tube to verify the best option. It's only going to be either one or the other.

You also mentioned that you need a shoe, but I don't see that in your photos. If you do need to replace the pivot shoe, I'll need photos to use as a reference. Please also write out its width and measurement for me to review.

Hi,
I recently purchased item 26-089 pivot bar 3" which fit into the shoe that broke
The diameter is exactly 17/32..
So I guess the 9/16 would be best?
The shoe is 1 3/8 wide
I know I will probably have to cut a small gap to get out the old shoe and put in the new one whatever combination of pivot bar, spiral balance,and shoe works. Please let me know. Thank you.

Yes, at 17/32" you very likely have the Series 600 spiral balance.

I'm not sure what shoe you may need. The best match is going to depend on size; you said it was 1-3/8", but that's not a size we carry. You're not going to know what the width is until you remove it, due to the way the frame obstructs it. You will also need thickness.

If you give me those two data points, I can make a recommendation.
