SLA03 Linear Actuator for Electric Scissor Lift Tables

Electric scissor lift tables raise materials to a practical working height for assembly, loading, maintenance, and ergonomic handling. An electric linear actuator provides a clean and compact alternative to a hydraulic lifting system in suitable load and duty conditions.

What Does the Linear Actuator Do?

The actuator is installed between the base frame and the scissor mechanism. When its rod extends, it pushes the linkage and opens the scissor arms, raising the platform. When the rod retracts, the linkage closes and the platform moves downward.

This converts the rotary motion of a DC motor into controlled linear movement for:

• Platform lifting and lowering
• Repeatable height adjustment
• Push-button or remote operation
• Compact integration without an external hydraulic power unit

Why Use the SLA03 Linear Actuator?

The Elerover SLA03 is an industrial electric linear actuator designed for lifting, positioning, hatches, gates, medical equipment, agricultural machinery, and other OEM motion systems. It is available in multiple configurations, making it suitable for scissor lift table projects after the required force and geometry have been verified.

Key available specifications include:

Parameter	SLA03 Series
Maximum load	Up to 6000 N / 600 kg / 1300 lbs
Input voltage	12 V DC or 24 V DC
Stroke options	30–600 mm
Speed options	3.5–38 mm/s
Motion	Electric push and pull
Customization	Stroke, speed, mounting, wiring, and control options

Specifications are configuration-dependent. Force, speed, stroke, and duty cycle must be confirmed for the selected model.

Benefits for Scissor Lift Table Manufacturers

Simple Electric Control

The table can be operated using a wired handset, rocker switch, remote control, or an OEM control system.

Clean and Compact Installation

An electric actuator does not require hydraulic hoses, oil, a pump, or a separate reservoir. This can simplify installation and routine maintenance.

Flexible OEM Integration

The actuator stroke, retracted length, mounting brackets, cable, connector, voltage, and control method can be selected around the lift-table design.

Controlled Height Adjustment

Built-in limit switches stop the actuator at the ends of travel. Feedback options can also be evaluated when an application requires position monitoring or more advanced control.

Important Selection Considerations

The weight on the platform is not equal to the actuator force. In a scissor mechanism, the required actuator force is strongly affected by the mounting position and the angle of the scissor arms. The highest force is often required near the fully lowered position.

Before selecting an actuator, confirm:

1. Maximum platform load, including the table structure
2. Actuator force required at the worst linkage angle
3. Required vertical travel and actuator stroke
4. Mounting distance in the retracted and extended positions
5. Required lifting speed
6. Duty cycle and number of operating cycles
7. Voltage and available current
8. Safety factor, mechanical stops, and pinch-point protection
9. Indoor or outdoor environmental requirements

For personnel-lifting or safety-critical machinery, the complete equipment must include independently engineered mechanical safety devices and comply with the applicable local standards. The actuator should not be treated as the only load-holding safety component.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one SLA03 actuator lift 600 kg on a scissor lift table?

Not necessarily. The 6000 N rating is the actuator’s maximum linear force, not the allowable platform load. Scissor geometry, mounting angle, friction, acceleration, safety factor, and duty cycle must be included in the calculation.

Can the SLA03 operate from a 12V battery?

Yes, a 12 V configuration is available. The battery, fuse, wiring, switch, and controller must be sized for the actuator’s current under the actual load.

Can the lifting speed be customized?

The SLA03 series offers different force and speed configurations. Higher speed generally reduces available force, so both requirements should be confirmed together.

What information is needed for actuator selection?

Provide the maximum load, scissor mechanism drawing, actuator mounting points, retracted and extended distances, desired lifting time, voltage, duty cycle, environment, and annual quantity.
