Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for providing a zero-G condition to a part to assist in allowing an operator to weightlessly move a part and assist an operator in the installation of a part into an assembly. Present methods, systems, and apparatuses further provide a zero-G lift able to alter the lift velocity of a part, from first predetermined velocity to a second predetermined velocity.
