  • Page 3: Introduction

    2.0 Introduction For more than 30 years, Movotec® lift systems have been used to make work-surfaces height adjustable. They have been used on industrial workbenches, small machine bases, massage tables, physical therapy tables, packaging equipment, and many other applications. Years of experience, engineering, and research have resulted in a product that is proven, time-tested and will deliver unparalleled performance.
  • Page 4 OBSERVE DUTY CYCLE. The term duty cycle refers to the amount of time that a ® motor or system is in motion versus the amount of time that it is resting. The Movotec Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift System is not designed to operate continuously without rest. It is designed for intermittent use only and is rated for a 10% duty cycle.
  • Page 5 DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not insert any objects into the system when powered. MAINTENANCE SAFEGUARDS. Prior to performing any maintenance or service on the device, remove the load from all lift cylinders and unplug the motor controller from power source.

  • Page 6: How It Works

    4.0 How it Works ® Movotec Q-Drive “Bolt-On” Lift Systems are comprised of three major component subsystems; the motor drive, the pump and the lift cylinders. This section will explain how each subsystem works together to make the lift system extend and retract.

  • Page 7: Retraction Cycle

    The gear motor will automatically shut off once the programmed pump upper limit is reached. ® 4.2 Retraction Cycle: (Refer to Movotec Q-Drive Schematic on page 7) When the motor switch “DN” arrow button is depressed, the 24VDC gear motor shaft begins to rotate in a (CW) clockwise direction.
