  • Publication number: 20200329862
    Abstract: A synchronizing lifter and a lifting table are disclosed that can ensure components supported on the synchronizing lifter cannot be in an inclined state. This has advantages in that by releasing the locking of one of power output portions of a linear driver, a first flexible traction component, a second flexible traction component, a first bracket and a second bracket through a locking mechanism, the driver works and a flexible connection component connected to the output end of the driver can move. The power is transferred to a corresponding bracket that drives a power transfer component to move up or down. The power transfer component drives the other bracket to move up or down, and another bracket drives the other flexible traction component to move. One driver drives the two ends of a synchronizing mechanism to move up and down, so that the structure is simple and costs are kept low.
