-THOMSON• Linear Motion. Optimized.' Model Comparison The Thomson lifting column product family has two different models that are all made of self-supporting, extruded aluminum profiles that are easy to install and require no additional cover for protection. The type of model that is most appropriate depends on the balance that is needed among extension-to-retraction ratio, load capacity, speed and cost. Screw type Weight Quiet operation Extension/retraction ratio Minimum retracted length Load capacity Load torque capacity Duty cycle Speed Mid-stroke overload protection

Lifting Columns LC2000 - Dimensions and Performance S: stroke L: retracted length A1: mounting screws must not enter deeper than 10 mm. Ordering Stroke, Retracted Length and Weight The desired stroke (S) will determine the minimum retracted length (L min) and the weight of the unit. Units can be built with a retracted length (L) between the calculated L min value and maximum retracted length.

-THOMSON• Linear Motion. Optimized.' Connect the green lead (pin 1) to positive and the red (pin 8) to negative to extend the lifting column. Change polarity to retract the lifting column. LC2000 and LC3000 are provided with internal limit switches. No external wiring is required for these switches. The encoder version (NE) is optional and would be used when feedback is required or when synchronization of multiple units is necessary. If in use it should be supplied with 5 - 18 Vdc on black (pin 3) and brown (pin 7) leads, and the two encoder channels are generated on purple (pin 4) and...
