AC and DC Actuators

A.C. Actuator used in Alevo Pro-Lift tables

When you are comparing electric power driven treatment tables an important factor is the drive system, i.e. the actuator that lifts the table, or as commonly referred to as the table motor. There are two basic types of motors:

(1) Powered direct current (D.C.), such D.C. power supplies or an AC-to-DC power converter; and

(2) Powered by alternating current (A.C.), typically the power grid 240 Volts.

The major benefit of an A.C. motor over a D.C. motors is its lifting speed and how it performs under load i.e. with a patient on the table. An A.C. motor’s speed (Pro-Lift models) is constant regardless of the weight on the table; whereas the more weight that is on a table driven by a DC motor the slower it lifts.

(1) The Value-Lift DC Actuator.

• Uses a smaller D.C. 6,000n actuator.
• Made in the PRC.
• Motor’s speed reduces when weight is on the table.
• Lifts 12mm per second, i.e. or a height adjustment of 48.1cm in 40 seconds, with a 150kg load.
• 2-year motor and control box warranty.
• Controlled by an electric footswitch; made in the PRC.
• An ideal table for spa and beauty and remedial and relaxation massage.

(2) The Pro-Lift AC Actuator

• Uses a larger more powerful A.C. 10,000n actuator - almost twice as powerful.
• Made in Germany.
• Motor’s speed is constant regardless of the weight on the table.
• Lifts 37mm per second, i.e. a height adjustment of 48.1cm in just 13 seconds, with a 150kg load.
• 3-year motor (with built-in control box) warranty.
• Controlled by a pneumatic stainless steel footswitch; made in Germany.
• Waste less time waiting for table movements with less interruptions to the treatment flow.
• An ideal table for sports clubs, gyms, educational institutions, day spas and international hotels or the busiest professional sports and remedial massage practitioners.

Alevo Prolift Actuators

When you are comparing electric power driven treatment tables an important factor is the drive system, i.e. the actuator that lifts the table, or as commonly referred to as the table motor.

There are different types, speed and lifting capacities, qualities and of course countries of origin.

Alevo Prolift Motor Benefits

(1) We use a larger more powerful actuator 10,000n, compared with 6000n actuators used on most competing products. Almost twice as powerful.

(2) Our actuators are AC not DC.

While both A.C. and D.C. motors serve the same function of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, they are powered, constructed and controlled differently. The most basic difference is the power source. A.C. motors are powered by alternating current (A.C.) typically the power grid 240 Volts, while D.C. motors are powered from direct current (D.C.), such D.C. power supplies or an AC-to-DC power converter.

The major benefit of an AC motor over DC motors is its lifting speed.

(3) An A.C. motor’s speed is constant regardless of the weight on the table.

An Alevo Pro-Lift motor's height adjustment speed is the same with or without a patient on the table; whereas the more weight that is on a table driven by a DC motor the slower it lifts.

(4) Speed Comparison with a patient weighing 150KG

Alevo Prolift (Hanning AC motor): 37mm per second, or a height adjustment of 48.1cm in just 13 seconds

Competitor (Linak DC motor): 12mm per second, or a height adjustment of 48.1cm in 40 seconds

Waste less time waiting for table movements, most DC motors on competing products are painfully slow and this can interrupt the treatment flow.

An Alevo Pro-lift table provides you with fast, super responsive table height adjustments; allowing you to be more efficient - To do more in less time.
