Correction to post: Search for "Mathematical Analysis of Actuator Forces in a Scissor Lift" by H. Spackman. May 1994, Technical Document 2643 by NRaD. (https://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/ADA283906) Found this paper on the web recently while doing research on the mathematics of scissor lifts for my thesis. This paper describes actuator force required based on two distinct mounting positions. Sizing the rods of a pantograph is a little bit trickier. Check out "Stiffness and Stability of Deployable Pantographic Columns" by Igor Raskin (Waterloo University, 1998) and "Nonlinear Analysis of Uniform Pantographic Columns in Compression" by Igor Raskin and John Roorda in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics , Decmeber 1999, p1344-1348. I am in the process of writing of thesis on the use of scissor lifts for theatrical applications with the goal of simplifying/streamlining the math with this application in mind. I hope to have this complete by the summer and will be available to all at that time. Modified by rekarc at Thu, Apr 16, 2009, 02:00:39
