Patent attributes
The invention relates to a telescopic lifting column. The lifting column comprises a plurality of tube bodies which are arranged concentrically inside one another and are axially movable in each case with respect to each other. Furthermore, the lifting column comprises a hydraulic actuator unit which is arranged in the tube bodies so as to be operating in the axial direction. The hydraulic actuator unit comprises a first hydraulic cylinder-piston unit and a second hydraulic cylinder-piston unit connected with the first, the first cylinder-piston unit being connected to a first end of the telescopic lifting column and the second cylinder-piston unit being connected to a second end of the telescopic lifting column. The first cylinder-piston unit is of the type having a first variable operating chamber and a second variable operating chamber. The second cylinder-piston unit is of the type having a single variable operating chamber which is in communication with the second operating chamber of the first cylinder-piston unit.
