Here we show you how to control and operate a lifting column. LinearDirect is your specialist when it comes to controlling lifting columns.
To control a lifting column, you first need the right lifting column for the weight you want to move. The lifting column must always have more lifting force than the load to be moved. As soon as it is clear which load you want to lift, you can select the control unit based on the required power. The control unit is the component that is clamped in front of the lifting column. The control unit monitors the movement of the lifting column using Hall sensors. The remote control, the wired handset or the control app (Linak, for example) is then connected to the controller via a specified connection. However, you can also operate the lifting column with a room control system such as KNX or Crestron.
What voltage does the lifting column control require?
The Linak lifting column control unit, for example, has a built-in switched-mode power supply. It is possible to apply different mains voltages with a switched-mode power supply unit. Mains voltages from 120 V to 230 V are possible. The lifting column controller then regulates the input voltage down to 12 V so that the lifting column can be operated with it.
Are there different lifting columns?
There are various lifting columns on the market. You will find the right lifting column for every application. You can use a mini lifting column for light loads or for small installation conditions. For medium loads, you can use Linak lifting columns, for example, which lift up to approx. 800 N (80 kg). For heavy-duty applications, there are also heavy-duty lifting columns that can lift up to 8000 N (800 kg).
Where can I buy lifting column controls?
At LinearDirect you can choose from a wide range of lifting columns. We have the right lifting column in our programme for every stroke length or lifting force.
