  • Transmission for an adjustable-height platform and method for changing a height of a platform
    Patent number: 10406051
    Abstract: A transmission for an adjustable-height platform includes at least one drive shaft, at least one output shaft, at least one first gear wheel configured to transmit a rotational movement of the drive shaft to the output shaft, and at least one second gear wheel configured to drive a hollow second output shaft. The at least one first gear wheel is formed from or includes at least portions formed from plastic.

  • Adjusting device for a height-adjustable platform and method for adjusting the height of the platform
    Patent number: 10245196
    Abstract: The height of a platform relative to a support surface is adjustable by rotating a drive shaft to actuate a first height-adjusting device and a second height-adjusting device, thereby changing the height of the respective ends of the first and second height-adjusting devices relative to the support surface. The drive shaft is selectively drivable by either a drive motor or a manually-operable drive.

  • Electronic drive having an electro-mechanical brake
    Patent number: 8847523
    Abstract: An electronic drive includes an electro-mechanical brake associated with a direct-current motor. A first valve or diode connects one of the terminals of the direct-current motor with the first electrical terminal of the brake in a forward direction. A second valve or diode connects the other terminal of the direct-current motor with the first electrical terminal of the brake. A second electrical terminal of the brake is at least indirectly connected with a reference voltage.
