Abstract: A frame for sit-stand-tables comprising a longitudinal member, two height-adjustable legs with at least two telescopic profiles, namely an outer and an inner profile, and with a driving mechanism, driven by a motor unit, comprising an electric motor and a gear. According to the invention the motor unit is arranged in the longitudinal member and connected to the driving mechanism in the height-adjustable legs. Thus, a frame with a simplified construction is achieved. The construction of the legs can be simplified and at the same time the dimensions can be reduced, as it is not necessary to take the building-in of a motor into the legs into consideration. As both legs are driven by a joint motor unit, the electric control can also be simplified as it will not have to drive the two legs synchronously.

Abstract: Linear actuator comprising an electric motor (2) which through a transmission (3) drives a spindle unit, where the spindle unit comprises at least one spindle (4) with a spindle nut (5), where the spindle (4) is equipped with a bearing (8). In connection with the spindle unit there is an adjustment element (6), typically tubular.

The slider element is mounted with the second slider 3 on the outer side of the inner profile 10, and is subsequently guided into the hollow of the outer profile 11, by which the first slider 2 affixes itself to the inner side of the outer profile and when the two profiles are retracted further, the designated breaking line 4 between the first and the second slider 2,3 will break, by which they appear as two separate sliders mounted on a profile each. Thus, a simplified mounting of the sliders is achieved. In addition, it can be constructed such that the sliders are completely concealed within the lifting column.

Abstract: A linear actuator (1) comprises a spindle nut arranged to be moved between two end positions on a spindle driven by a DC motor (2). An end stop switch (31) is arranged to be activated when the spindle nut is in an end position. In its activated state, the end stop switch disconnects the motor current and connects a first diode (33) across the DC motor for short circuiting the motor when the current is interrupted. A second diode (32) is connected over the end stop switch for enabling the DC motor to drive the spindle nut out of said end position. An additional component (43) in series with the first diode reduces noise problems caused by motor current circulating through this diode during pulse pauses while the spindle nut is driven out of an end position by a pulse width modulated voltage via a cable from a control box.
