Function	Two articulated metal plates are actuated by a worm screw with a crank. Turning in one direction raises the upper platform, and turning in the other direction lowers it.
Dimension of mechanism	planar
Number of links	8
Drive movement	Rotation
Output movement	Rectilinear translation
Degree of freedom	1
Number of inputs	1
Number of followers	1
Revolution ability	yes
Revolution ability of input link	yes
Relative position between drive and output	parallel

Transfer function
Output motion	high deviation
Transfer function	identical direction linear (also partially)

Application
Examples of application	Ce support élévateur est commun dans les laboratoires de chimie. Il est en général posé sur le plan de travail et permet de relever un montage à hauteur souhaité. Il n'est plus utilisé actuellement au laboratoire de Recherches Fromagères d'Aurillac.
