Lifting columns

Lifting columns are the ideal drive elements when a motor setting is required in addition to the stable guidance. The whole technology is integrated and not visible from the outside. These lifting columns do not need any additional coverings. Usually, no special electrical knowledge will be required for the commissioning. Various versions are available as standard for the application in the field of medical technology. Several lifting columns can be combined and synchronised and offer further impressive application possibilities. The MultiControl-units can be linked by a BUS-system and enable the synchronization of maximal 32 lifting columns.

Multilift (two-stage lifting columns for up to 500 mm travel)

The Multilift is for continuous height adjustment of tables, equipment, assembly workstations and similar applications. The lifting column can be operated alone or as a pair in parallel. To establish a configuration with absolute synchronous run of several drives (maximal 4) a special drive control is available as synchronous version.    

Max. travel	498 mm
Max. compressive force	3000 N
Max. tensile force	1000 N
Max. travel speed	8 / 16 mm/s
Protection rating	IP 20

• Integrated limit switch
• Synchronisation via control
• Optional manual version

RK Slimlift (two-stage lifting columns for up to 500 mm travel)

The RKSlimlift looks unflashy and filigree but it is highly loadable. The whole drive unit is placed in the column and is not visible from the outside. Fixing slots in the side walls offer the possibility to attach additional components, e.g. panels, cable channels and braces.  

Max. travel	500 mm
Max. compressive force	4000 N
Max. tensile force	2000 N
Max. travel speed	8-32 mm/s
Protection rating	IP 30

• Integrated limit switch
• Synchronisation via control
• Optional manual version

RK Powerlift (two-stage lifting columns for up to 500 mm travel/multi-stage lifting columns for over 500 mm travel)

The RK Powerlift has been developed to be used as single column. Its high stability allows amazing side forces at high travel speeds. The RK Powerlift is available as 2-step and 3-step telescope lifting system. The modern and timeless profile design does not need any coverings.

Max. travel	650 mm
Max. compressive force	3000 N
Max. tensile force	3000 N
Max. travel speed	10-50 mm/s
Protection rating	IP 30

• Integrated limit switch
• Synchronisation via control
• Integrated control
• Optional manual version

Alpha Colonne (multi-stage lifting columns for over 500 mm travel)

The guide profiles of the Alpha Colonne are exactly square shaped. This makes the side forces identical for all sides. Compared to other systems, it has a third guide step with a large overlapping when it is extended which improves its stability.

Max. travel	700 mm
Max. compressive force	3000 N
Max. tensile force	3000 N
Max. travel speed	8-18 mm/s
Protection rating	IP 30

• Integrated limit switch
• Synchronisation via control
• Integrated control

Lambda Colonne (multi-stage lifting columns for over 500 mm travel)

The lifting column LAMBDA-Colonne is a telescopic drive which is alone or as a pair (Twin) suitable for lifting and lowering in many possible applications. It can be used for lifting forces of maximal 4,500 N (single) and 9,000 N(Twin) and a total lifting height of 600 mm.

Max. travel	600 mm
Max. compressive force	4500 N
Max. tensile force	4500 N
Max. travel speed	8-20 mm/s
Protection rating	IP 54 | IP 40

• Integrated limit switch
• Synchronisation via control
