Lifting mechanism

Two hydraulic cylinders are attached to each scissor
strut. When the hydraulic cylinders extend, the scissors
move up, thereby raising the lifting table.
The synchronized movement of both sides is ensured as
follows:
R
Synchronized movement is monitored electronically
via a light barrier (optional).
R
The two hydraulic cylinders of each scissor strut are
powered by separate hydraulic circuits. The hyd-
raulic cylinders in a circuit are connected in series
(cylinder follow-up principle). See Fig. 4
