Built around a 2\" x 1\" aluminum frame, it delivers exceptional stiffness and perfectly linear motion while remaining easy to build, customize, and maintain. Whether you need a powerful pick-and-place mechanism, a robot lifter, or a versatile vertical motion system, this elevator is engineered to win.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe first stage is driven by dual #25H chains, while the second stage uses dual UHMWPE 4mm rope for smooth cascading motion. All motion is guided by precision 7075 aluminum bearing blocks that incorporate both needle bearings and ball bearings — no rollers — ensuring the carriage stays perfectly constrained for smooth, rigid, and repeatable travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\" x 1\" aluminum tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-stage cascading design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e:\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage 1: Dual #25H chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage 2: Dual UHMWPE 4mm rope cascade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing System\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7075 aluminum bearing blocks with needle bearings + ball bearings (no rollers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Starting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 47\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Stroke Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Input\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2\" hex axle at the bottom of the elevator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Plates\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25\" thick rigid plates with mounting provisions for common gearboxes (including REV Max Planetary, WCP PlanetaryX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tubing\u003c\/strong\u003e: SWYFT Tube or any standard 2\" x 1\" aluminum tubing with holes.
