Lifting columns with increased stroke length configurations

By extending the available stroke length from 400mm to 600mm and maintaining the TC16's low retracted height design, Thomson has made it possible for machine designers to obtain their required stroke length from a smaller lift column package to design more compact machines. Lifting column applications such as wheelchair height adjustment do not have a pre-determined load and must operate safely with significant off-centre loads. This has been addressed by increasing the moment load capacity from 150Nm to 400Nm. The TC16 is a self-supporting lifting column based upon a combination of double-telescoping lead screws with belt driven gearing for high load torque capacity and ensuring a very short retracted length. Designed for quiet operation with an extruded anodized aluminum finish, its aesthetic maintenance-free design provides unobtrusive positioning for medical applications such as reclining beds, dental chairs and medical scanning equipment and domestic or office environments.
