Q1How durable is the lifter?
A1

It is expected to last for over 1 million strokes.

Back to Questions
Q2How do you control intermediate stops?
A2

We recommend using a servo motor for control. For three-phase motor specifications, use the optional rotary encoder [option symbol: E].

Back to Questions
Q3What is the repeatability of the lifter's positioning accuracy?
A3

For a constant load, the repeatability is ±1mm.

Back to Questions
Q4Is it possible to set multiple lifter stop positions?
A4

By installing a servo motor or a three-phase motor with a rotary encoder [option symbol: E], it becomes possible to control stopping at multiple points.

Back to Questions
Q5Is it possible to operate multiple cantilever lifters in tandem?
A5

Interlocking operation is possible with either mechanical or electrical systems.
Please fill in the "High-speed lifter Selection Request Form" or the technical sheet at the end of the catalog with your usage conditions and then contact us.
