Spindle Lifting Units 101

If you have ever had the pleasure of planning, designing, building/assembling, or even just using a well-functioning workspace that had height adjustment features, then you may be familiar with systems like the ones Ergo Lift Solutions provides with their Spindle Lifting Units line of products. However, if you are not familiar with the wonderful advantages made possible by these amazing systems, here is a brief overview to help you familiarize yourself with the options available to you. Whether you are just putting in your own workbench in your home’s garage or designing a production floor for assembling products, you can benefit from using one of these distinct styles and types of systems of spindle lifting units.

Simply put, spindle lifting unit systems operate by the use of an electric motor, or another source of power, turning a threaded spindle shaft. So, as the unit moves up and down the threads, it either lifts or lowers whatever is mounted to the housing of the unit. This makes it possible to lift very heavy objects like large metal workstations, laboratory equipment, industrial furniture, shelving units, and many other objects, using a minimal amount of power input. This makes them a brilliant solution for leveling a variety of different work surfaces/workstations and industrial equipment of all kinds. That is not even mentioning the uses they can provide in residential applications like office desks, chairs, and even home tool benches or other types of furniture.

The units offered by Ergo Lift Solutions include full base units with four leg units connected by crossbars to create a framework for any surface. We can offer a framework for shelving of all kinds, conveyor lines, assembly line equipment/machines, doctor’s office tables/furniture, business office desks, etc. The list of possibilities is only as short as your imagination because these products are widely versatile. Then there are single-leg spindle units that can be added to any existing piece of furniture, shelving, machinery, or any other object that could benefit from the ability to adjust the height at will. They come as single piece units that can be combined with up to three units per motor and up to four motors in a system. This means you can lift something that requires 12 leg units to adjust the height due to its sheer size or weight.

The spindle units are powerful, and can each handle the lifting of a maximum 2,000 N when adjusting the height of any object you fasten them to. But a system of four units can combine to lift a maximum of 10,000 N if synchronized correctly. The leg units can be securely fastened to many different objects and surfaces by their different welded on mounting plates that can be screwed or riveted to any vertical or horizontal surface. Once attached to the proper lifting points of whatever they are being used to raise or lower, they can be synchronized by adjusting the electric motors to apply the correct amount of force in spinning the threaded spindles to the proper placement, where they will have lifted or lowered the object to the precisely desired height needed for operation.

As you can see, these wonderful tools are immensely important and their range of uses span a vast array of possibilities. Wherever precise height adjustment is needed, these tools can be used to create simple solutions to what would otherwise be a complex and challenging task. Also, with the units designed and manufactured by Ergo Lifting Solutions, they are made to be attractive and appealing. Their elegant yet powerful appearance is remarkable. Plus, they will fit into any situation with ease and only improve the overall form of any structure. The unfinished flat or brushed aluminum surfaces fit with any industrial settings and even appeal to those who want a more professional and durable looking office furniture. So, for any application where the need to precisely control the lift, height adjustment, or surface tilt is present, the solutions offered by this company’s spindle lifting units, and systems of units, are the perfect answer to meeting that need.
