(10024) Herkules has been learning the best ways to manufacture world class scissor lift tables since 1983. Since its beginning, Herkules has incorporated best practices in designing, testing, manufacturing and quality control of its scissor lift tables. Today Herkules provides electrically powered, hydraulically powered and air powered scissor lift tables.

Each of the three types of powered scissor lift tables can provide the best solution for various applications based on the given application data.

Our ball screw electric lift tables are great solutions for automation, longevity, and repeatability.  These lifts are also designed to provide zero load drift at any elevation. This makes them an ideal choice for robotic integration and applications where the operator will be working underneath the product.

The list below is a general overview of the unique benefits of this new ball screw electric scissor lift technology.

Benefits

Ball Screw Electric Scissor Lift Table

1. Precision controlled +/- .03 (.76 mm), can be increased with limit switch or photo sensing
2. Capability of high capacity lifting 50,000 pounds (22,680 kg) Plus
3. Integrates well with electrical controls
4. Integrates well with robotic applications
5. Electric scissor lifts are inherently safe
6. Duty cycle is high / highly reliable
7. System speed can vary from high speed at 5 inches/sec (127 mm/second) to low speed at .03 inches/second (.76 mm/second) 
8. System can be integrated to raise from floor up or from ceiling down
9. Encoders can be integrated into the motor controls
10. Has no fluid or gas that can leak and create environmental contamination
11. Clean and green technology
12. Zero load drift. It will hold full load indefinitely
13. Speed can be easily controlled with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). This provides for smooth lift acceleration and deceleration
14. Compatible with alternating current AC or direct current DC motors
15. Compatible with multiple voltage from around the world
16. Low noise level decibel (dB) reading
17. Portability is easily achieved

Ball Screw Scissor Lift Tables Safety Features

1. Safety bellows skirting – Protects scissor pinch points
2. Controlled descent device – Provides a controlled descent that meets ANSI standards
3. Double nut system with limit switch control locks the lift in the event of a nut failure

Disadvantages

1. Maintenance time to replace parts such as ball screws or ball nuts can be time consuming
2. Ball screw must be structurally supported well in order to minimize the chance of side load, which can lead to premature wear.
3. Ball screws require lubrication, which in some clean room environments can be considered a contaminate.
