February 27, 2014 - Thomson Industries introduces LC Series Lifting Columns offering compact, telescopic motion pre-aligned motion solutions. The LC Series requires no maintenance throughout their lifetime. These products can save cost on overall machine design and are ideal for providing telescopic motion in ergonomic applications. Thomson Lifting Columns are self-supporting and designed for rapid installation and maintenance-free operation. They are highly reliable devices that provide outstanding performance; giving smooth, quiet and fast operation with an excellent extension to retraction ratio.
Aesthetically pleasing and easy to install with pre-drilled mounting holes, the compact form of the lifting columns can help optimize machine design and reduce overall costs associated with production. The Lifting Columns consist of anodized extruded aluminum profiles, which slide into each other. The design provides a high moment load capacity without compromise on speed of operation along with a large lift capacity to frame size ratio. Their robustness and performance is complemented by the ability to link multiple units together for flexibility in design configuration. Thomson Lifting Columns are available in three model variations, which provide different performance in extension to retraction ratio, load capacity, speed and cost to best match application needs.
As with all Thomson solutions, the lifting columns can also be customized to meet specific customer requirements. LC Series Lifting Columns can help engineers optimize overall machine design, offering the potential for cost reduction and reduced manufacturing time. Strong, reliable and quiet, they deliver excellent performance and versatility to match design engineer application and budget requirements.
