7.3.6 Load distribution

wrong right
A small example: You are building a table with four lifting
columns. Each lifting column can bear 1000N. Thus, the lift-
ing columns together must bear a load Fmax = 4000N, if the
load is symmetrically in the centre of the table. If the load
moves into a corner of the table, then the lifting column has
to bear almost the entire load of 4000N under this corner.
This would lead inexorably to overload. Even at the planning
stage of your application, pay attention not only to the total
load, but also the load on the individual lifting columns.

7.4 Installation

To install the lifting column, there are available at the top in the head plate (View A) 9 x M6 tap-
pings or on the underside (View B) 7 x Ø 5.4 mm holes and, in the baseplate (View C) 4 x M8 tap-
pings.
The maximum bolt depth for the M6 bolts in the head plate is 8 mm and in the baseplate for M8
bolts 10 mm; the recommended torque for the M6 tappings is 10 Nm max. and for the M8 tap-
pings 15 Nm max.
For guaranteed rigidity, it is essential to stipulate an adequately dimensioned foundation to
absorb the stated maximum compressive and tensile forces and the torque loading (see section
6.2).
