Step 1 – Determine the power factor for the application

Determine power factor

To select the correct lift mechanism for a given application, the power factor must ﬁrst be calculated by using the formula below.

Use the table at the bottom of the page to convert ounces into decimal form for easy calculation.

Example:

Cabinet height: 15 inches (within possible range)

Door weight including twice the handle weight: 9 lb 14 oz (14 oz = .9 lb see chart below)

Total weight converted to decimal is 9.9 lb

Power factor = cabinet height multiplied by door weight including twice the handle weight

Power factor = 15 x 9.9

Power factor = 148.5

A power factor of 148.5 requires lift mechanism 20K1501
