IP7180 Custom Electric Lifting Column | Precision Vertical Motion for Industrial Automation

IP7180 custom electric lifting column for OEM vertical-motion systems

The IP7180 Custom Electric Lifting Column is made for buyers who need strong, quiet vertical movement in OEM equipment. It supports 12V/24V DC input, carries 4000 N in push and 4000 N in pull, and gives engineers a 50-600 mm customizable travel range. For a heavy-duty lifting column, that is a useful mix: real force, controlled speed, and enough stroke flexibility for different equipment layouts.

This model fits industrial automation builds, adjustable workstations, medical equipment structures, smart furniture, lab benches, and other systems where a guided telescopic column is cleaner than an exposed actuator. The listed noise level is below 48 dB, so IP7180 can also work in user-facing equipment where motor sound needs to stay low.

For early comparison, buyers can review ActuLift’s electric lifting columns, telescopic lifting columns, and industrial and mobile column lifts. Those categories help engineering and sourcing teams decide whether IP7180 is the right column format before they request drawings and samples.

Product Specifications

What procurement teams should notice first

The first detail is the load rating. IP7180 is listed at 4000 N push and 4000 N pull, which makes it suitable for heavier vertical-motion projects than small furniture columns. Still, load is not just a number in a table. Before quotation, send the real load direction, load center, stroke, duty use, mounting position, and frame design. A centered axial load is far easier on the column than a twisting side load.

The second detail is speed. The 4 mm/s to 20 mm/s range lets buyers tune the motion feel. A slow speed may suit heavy equipment, treatment tables, industrial fixtures, or systems where movement must feel calm. A faster setup may fit lighter workstations or furniture assemblies. Test the sample under the real load, not only on an empty bench.

The third detail is system integration. IP7180 can be planned with ActuLift control boxes and controllers and remote controls and handsets. If the project uses more than one column, confirm controller capacity, synchronization method, current draw, cable length, and any feedback requirement before approving samples.

OEM customization and integration notes

The IP7180 is a custom electric lifting column, so the RFQ should be specific. Buyers should not only ask for price. They should send the full motion brief:

• Required voltage: 12V DC or 24V DC.
• Required travel: any value within the 50-600 mm customizable range.
• Load case: push load, pull load, dynamic load, static holding need, load center, and safety factor.
• Speed target: expected empty-load and full-load movement within 4 mm/s to 20 mm/s.
• Installation layout: mounting distance, column direction, bracket position, cable exit, and available space.
• Control package: control box, handset, remote, feedback signal, and synchronization needs.
• Environment: dust, splash exposure, cleaning method, humidity, temperature, and whether IP66 is needed.
• Documents: datasheet, drawing, wiring plan, sample test notes, CE/RoHS files, and packaging requirements.

For mechanical planning, ActuLift’s brackets and mountings page is a useful related reference. Good mounting hardware matters. A strong column can still feel weak if the bracket bends, the frame twists, or the cable route fights the movement.

Protection level, temperature, and noise

The standard protection level is IP43. IEC describes IP ratings as enclosure protection against dust and liquid intrusion, so IP43 should be treated as an indoor or protected-equipment planning point. It should not be written as waterproof.

The brief also lists an optional IP66 waterproof lifting column. Use that version when the equipment may face stronger water exposure, damp environments, routine cleaning, or a harsher enclosure requirement. Confirm the IP66 configuration, connector, cable exit, sealing design, and test documents before batch production. If the project has moisture exposure across other motion parts, the waterproof linear actuators category can help buyers think through the wider system.

The working temperature range is -20 °C to +60 °C. The listed noise level is below 48 dB for a quiet office environment. Those values are helpful for office furniture, lab equipment, smart furniture, and user-facing industrial devices. Final noise still depends on the frame, load, controller behavior, floor contact, and panel fit.

Where IP7180 fits best

IP7180 makes sense when a project needs a protected guided column with more force than a light desk lift. Typical directions include adjustable workstations, automated benches, medical-equipment structures, treatment tables, industrial fixtures, smart furniture, display systems, and custom height-adjustable equipment.

It can also support B2B product families that share one motion platform across several SKUs. For example, a buyer might use the same 24V control architecture for a workbench, a display lift, and a test fixture while changing stroke length, mounting hardware, and control interface by model.

If the finished product is a desk or workstation line, compare the column plan with ActuLift’s standing desk frames and base legs before locking the frame. That can save a round of redesign when the column, controller, and structural base need to work as one package.

Compliance and document notes

The supplied specification says IP7180 is compliant with CE and RoHS standards. Keep that wording tied to the agreed component configuration. Voltage, controller, wiring, connector, label, and target market can affect which documents the buyer needs.

For CE, the European Commission explains that the manufacturer carries out conformity assessment, prepares the technical file, issues the EU declaration of conformity, and affixes the CE marking. For RoHS, the European Commission describes rules that restrict certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

In plain sourcing terms: ask for the files, not just the logo. Also remember that component-level CE/RoHS support does not automatically certify the finished machine. The complete equipment may still need its own compliance review.

Buyer FAQ

What input voltage does IP7180 support?

IP7180 supports 12V/24V DC input. Buyers should confirm the final voltage during quotation so the lifting column, controller, power supply, wiring, and handset match the equipment design.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The listed maximum load capacity is 4000 N push and 4000 N pull. For OEM projects, send the full load case before sample approval because stroke, load direction, mounting structure, and duty use can affect final selection.

What speed range is available?

The listed speed range is 4 mm/s to 20 mm/s for empty-load and full-load movement. Test the selected speed under the real expected load so the final product feels stable and controlled.

Can the travel length be customized?

Yes. The listed travel length is 50-600 millimeters, and it is customizable within that range. Share the required stroke, retracted height, extended height, and installation drawing before quotation.

Is IP7180 waterproof?

The standard protection level is IP43. The brief also lists an optional IP66 waterproof lifting column. If the product faces water, cleaning, humidity, or outdoor-adjacent use, request the IP66 version and confirm the sealing details.

Is the lifting column quiet enough for office equipment?

The listed noise level is below 48 decibels for a quiet office environment. Final noise should still be checked inside the real equipment frame because brackets, panels, load, and controller behavior can add sound.

What should OEM buyers send before quotation?

Send voltage, load case, stroke, target speed, duty use, mounting drawing, bracket plan, cable route, controller requirement, protection level, quantity, destination market, and CE/RoHS document needs. The more complete the brief, the cleaner the sample round.

Why this product works well

IP7180 gives OEM buyers a strong, quiet lifting-column base: 12V/24V DC input, 4000 N push/pull capacity, 4-20 mm/s speed, 50-600 mm custom travel, IP43 protection with an IP66 option, and -20 °C to +60 °C operation. It works best when buyers confirm load direction, mounting, controls, and compliance files before production.
