Lift system for furniture carcass side mounting

In addition to the electrical controls, we have perfect solutions for lifting furniture carcasses or a furniture carcass by lift, for example. The powerful lift systems are available in different lifting weight classes, depending on the weight load. For simple, lightweight furniture carcasses, we recommend using at least two lift systems. In this case, the lift system is absolutely synchronised. The ideal position is at the side, in the centre of the front sides of the cabinet. This is where you will find the best points of application for lifting the weight in a balanced and centred manner on a central axis. Due to the bending forces that occur, installation behind the furniture carcass can only be realised with heavy-duty lifting columns. The best way to integrate the side-mounted lift systems for furniture carcasses is to attach an open panelling to the side of the furniture carcass. This conceals the lift system and makes it invisible.

Lift system for furniture carcase rear panel installation

If you do not have the option of positioning the drives at the side, we recommend installing the drives behind the carcase so that the carcase conceals the lift system. Depending on the load or payload of the carcase, you must use certain lift systems. For a light carcase with a low load, use at least two drives, which you place behind the carcase. Then attach the carcase to the top of the lift system. Plan a predetermined fastening area. Then attach the lift system to the furniture base using the correct screws provided (on site, see lift system technical data for screw size). If you have a heavy load, for example over 60 kg + furniture carcass, we recommend using a heavy-duty lift system for furniture available from us. Although this heavy-duty lift system for furniture carcasses requires slightly more installation space, it can absorb increased bending moments and move without failure in the long term.

Use of several lift systems for furniture per carcase

If the carcase is to be very wide in the furniture, you can also operate several furniture lift systems (up to 16) at once. This allows you to lift very wide furniture carcasses. The whole process is fully synchronised so that the carcase is always at the same height in the unit. The lift controller controls up to 16 lift systems synchronously so that they are always absolutely at the same height.

Linak lift system for furniture applications

Lift systems for furniture are used in a wide variety of areas. Lift systems for furniture are often used in the integration area for displays or touchscreens. Here, Linak lift systems for furniture, presentation units or video conferencing systems move upwards or downwards from above. Lift systems for furniture are also used if, for example, you want to produce a height-adjustable cabinet. The cabinet can then be adjusted by the respective stroke of the lift system for furniture.

Lift system for furniture operation

The furniture lift system is very easy for end users to operate. Using a remote control (Bluetooth) or the respective manufacturer's app, the end user can activate and operate the lift system for furniture at the touch of a button. The lift system for furniture can also be operated using a wired handset or potential-free contacts on the room control system.

Service life

The service life of the lift systems for furniture is very long, as the manufacturing quality of manufacturers such as Linak is very high. Linak uses only the best quality for its components. Linak has a very high vertical range of manufacture and is therefore able to guarantee a very high quality standard for lift systems for furniture.

How strong is the load capacity?

Lift systems for furniture can generally withstand high operating weights. A single lift system for furniture can lift approx. 700 N (70 kg) on its own. In tandem operation, the payload is doubled. However, care must be taken to ensure that the payload is positioned close to the centre line of the furniture lift system. If the payload were positioned too far away from the centre line of the lift, the furniture lift system would be subjected to excessive bending stress, which would drastically reduce its service life. If you have any questions about the load capacity of the respective lift systems for furniture, we look forward to hearing from you. We will be happy to advise you in detail on this topic.

Duty cycle of lift systems for furniture

The duty cycle (operating time, ED) is generally 3 minutes of continuous operation, followed by approx. 18 minutes of cooling. The duty cycle describes how often a system can be moved in a given time. As lift systems for furniture do not have internal ventilation or cooling, the duty cycle must be adhered to. Incidentally, this applies to almost all electrical appliances that do not have their own cooling system. For example, look at the rating plate on a kitchen whisk or food processor and note the duty cycle specified there. The duty cycle is also stated there. Even these appliances are not designed for continuous use. However, if you exceed the duty cycle during a demonstration, you do not need to worry. The lift systems for furniture control boxes (control units) have an internal switch-on time monitor. If you exceed the ED, the control system will switch off the lift system for furniture until it has cooled down again. As soon as the cool-down phase has elapsed, the lift system for furniture can be put back into operation as usual.
