Lifting Columns - Bushings
Design and Theory
Bushing design
Slide bushings, which are made of an engineered polymer, provide column moment loading capability; bushings slide along the extrusion as the column telescopes. Bushings are keyed and sized into position for proper preloading to insure loading/moment capacity.
