CPMT telescopic pillars from SKF Motion Technologies, Inc. can be integrated into surgical tables, procedure chairs, and similar medical equipment to enable optimized access for patients, support heavier loads, and deliver safe and efficient lifting performance. These complete plug-and-play systems ultimately provide OEM designers with technologies to meet demanding marketplace requirements, gain a competitive business edge, and equip healthcare facilities with reliable, safe, and virtually maintenance-free vertical motion solutions. 
CPMT telescopic pillars combine a low retracted height (320 mm or 12.6 in.) with a high stroke range (up to 600 mm or 23.6 in.) to improve accessibility for patients without compromising the extended height necessary for procedures. Other capabilities include a high load-carrying capacity (up to 6,000 N or 1,350 lb), as well as fast positioning speeds (up to 34 mm/sec or 1.34 in./sec) and the ability to access pre-set positions for overall clinical efficiencies. CPMT pillars are fully tested and UL certified according to IEC 60601-1:2005.
The three-section telescopic pillars additionally offer design flexibility with a wide range of special features, such as a configuration option for high offset load capacity to impart high stiffness, cabling choices for connectors (DIN8 or flying leads cable), and customized threads on the outer profile for directly mounting additional actuators and/or brackets.
These ready-to-install systems simplify integration into equipment, minimize associated production costs, and have been engineered to perform virtually maintenance-free over their lifetime. Available accessories include control units with multiple ports and hand- and foot-activation switches, among others. Custom pillar solutions can be developed to meet specific application requirements.

I am designing a portable river table for the Carson Nature Center in Denver CO. It is 3 ft wide by 7 ft long by ~18 inches deep and weighs ~500 lbs. It will be transported in a van that’s floor is 28.5 inches above road grade. I need four legs with 4 inch wheels that extend ~30 inches to support and transport the table as it exits the van. Also need to adjust the table height down ~ 18 inches from its legs fully extended position to its demonstration position. The legs must be fully retracted when the table is stored in the van. I’d like to connect the legs in pairs (front and back); each pair externally driven at one side with a portable drill. The legs must hold length in their various positions. Your CPMT telescopic pillars look like the perfect solution depending on the drive arrangement and longer travel length needed. If feasible, please provide dimensional and cost information.
