Press Release Summary:
TMS Series telescopic lifting columns lift loads 2 m in distance away from system's pillar. Centric loads up to 400 kg and eccentric loads up to 150 kg can be accommodated. TMS10 EASY and TMS00 MECHANICAL models each consist of 3 telescopic aluminum profiles mounted on 2 circulating ball rollers. Drives work on push load with force up to 900 lbs. Stroke lengths range from 300 to 700 mm. Retracted lengths are from 326 to 526 mm, and speeds range from 16 to 28 mm/sec.
Original Press Release:
New 'TMS' Telescopic Lifting Columns Introduced by Magnetics Corporation
OLNEY, IL, September 6, 2002 - Magnetic's powerful new TMS series of telescopic lifting columns are designed to provide fast, quiet, precise, and safe movement of diagnostic imaging tables utilized in Computer Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Nuclear Imaging, X-Ray, and similar medical applications. TMS columns perform with optimum stroke/retracted length ratios to lift heavy loads 2m in distance away from the system's pillar. (Centric loads up to 400kg and eccentric loads up to 150kg can be accommodated.)
TMS lifting columns in two versions (TMS10 EASY and TMS00 MECHANICAL) consist of three telescopic aluminum profiles mounted on two circulating ball rollers. Their drives work on push load (force up to 4000N or 900 lbs.). Stroke lengths range from 300mm to 700mm (28"); retracted lengths from 326mm to 526mm; and speeds from 16mm/sec to 28mm/sec.
TMS10 EASY uses as drives two DC motors with worm gears. Rotational motion through a spindle-nut system is converted to linear motion for lift. The linear drive is self-locking in each position, maintenance-free, and includes safety limit-switches. Both power supply and control are handled by specially designed KOM units, which protect the drive from overload.
TMS00 MECHANICAL is an "open" version without drive motors for easy incorporation into existing drive systems and control units. A double worm gear running two spindles implements lift motion. Spindle systems are self-locking as safeguards in case of motor failure.
