Powered by a 24-volt DC motor with 15% duty factor, the maximum dynamic load is 1,650N and static loading 3,500N.
The unit can easily be mounted onto the element to be raised through the use of a vertical T-slot, which runs the full height of the lifting body.
The design has clean lines and operation is extremely smooth which makes it ideal for applications such as patient lifters.
It has a metal back-up nut fitted to the main drive nut which eliminates an uncontrolled decent of the carriage.
The motor is located under the unit body but can also be mounted on the drive unit via a motor bracket".
The carriage is designed to accommodate three torque ranges of 750 Nm, 1,050 Nm, and 1,350 Nm.
Stroke lengths can be selected from a range of 100 mm steps between 500 mm and 1,000 mm, giving a total of 54 combinations as standard supply.
