What is the mechanical structure of a lifting cylinder?

Lifting cylinders consist of several components, which together make up the lifting cylinder. Here we explain the mechanical structure from the inside to the outside. The mechanical lifting cylinder contains an electric motor that drives a travelling spindle with an external thread. The spindle sits on a gearbox, which is attached to the electric drive and reduces the speed of the electric drive accordingly. A piston with an internal thread sits on the spindle, which moves up and down on the spindle (depending on the direction of rotation). This movement of the piston pushes the outer profiles of the lifting cylinder apart telescopically. This creates the lifting movement. The profiles of the cover can have different shapes. They are usually made of rectangular, square or steel tube (powder-coated). There are Teflon-coated sliding blocks between the profiles, which keep the profiles at a distance. A floor mounting plate is attached to the lower end of the outer profile. You can use this floor mounting plate to attach the mechanical lifting cylinder to the floor or to the floor space. At the top, on the smallest profile, a head plate is attached to which the load level is attached. On the lower side of the outer profile is the connection for the motor cable, which enables the lifting cylinder to be connected to the control unit.

You can then use the lifting cylinder control unit to control and move the lifting cylinder. You can control the mechanical lifting cylinder remotely using a remote control (Bluetooth hand-held transmitter), a wired handset, an operator app or potential-free contacts.
