Analysis and Solutions to the Noise Problem of Electric Lift Desk

The noise problem of electric lifting desks is a concern of every customer. Whether you buy a lift desk for your own use or for sale as a furniture dealer, the noise of the electric lift desk is an important consideration when purchasing an electric standing lift desk. Any electric lift desk will produce a certain amount of noise during use, but these noises are usually within an acceptable range. In a general office environment, the noise of an electric lift desk is usually kept at around 50 decibels. As an electric standing lift desk manufacturer, we will give you a comprehensive understanding of the noise problems and solutions of electric lift desks.

Why Does the Electric Lift Desk Noise?

The main reasons why electric lift desk noise are as follows:

Electric lift desk motor: Electric standing lift desk noise mainly comes from the motor and planetary gearbox. These components will produce a certain amount of noise during movement. The motor is the core component of the electric standing desk, and the quality of the motor directly affects the operating noise of the standing lift desk. If the motor quality is poor or the quantity does not match, it may result in insufficient power, resulting in greater noise. Some electric standing lift desks use brushed motors, which produce loud noise during operation. In contrast, brushless motors can further reduce operating noise.

Electric lift structural design: The structural design of the electric standing desk will also affect noise. As an Electric lift desk manufacturer, we are very aware that the lifting column and driving mechanism of the desk are not properly designed, causing the desk to shake and rub during the lifting process, thus causing the electric standing desk to produce noise.

Electric lift desk installation issues: Electric lift desk installation is also very important. If the table legs are not well connected during the installation process of the lift desk, the table legs will be unstable, and vibration and noise will be produced.

Insufficient lubrication of the Electric lift desk: If silencer grease is not applied to the screw rod of the Electric lift desk legs and the inner tube of the steel wall, the anti-wear and noise reduction effect will be poor, thereby increasing the noise.

Electric lift desk mechanical abnormality: If there is a mechanical abnormality or interference in the electric standing lift desk, it will also affect its normal operation and lead to an increase in noise.

In addition to these reasons, there are also some external factors: such as foreign object obstruction, overload, etc. During the use of the electric lift desk, if there are foreign objects that hinder the normal operation of the motor or mechanical parts, it may also cause increased noise. In some office environments, although the volume of electric lift desks is usually kept at around 50 decibels, under certain conditions, such as excessive load-bearing on the office desk, the noise may be more obvious.

Through the above analysis of the causes of the noise of electric standing desks, it can be seen that the noise of electric lifting desks is mainly related to factors such as motors, structural design, installation problems, lubrication conditions, mechanical abnormalities, and overloading. The excessive noise of electric standing lift desks will affect the comfort and work efficiency of the office environment. So how to solve these problems? The sound of an electric sit-stand desk cannot be eliminated, and some measures can only be taken to reduce the noise of an electric standing desk. Let’s take a look at how electric lift desk manufacturers reduce noise.

For electric lift desk manufacturers like us, reducing noise is not difficult. What is difficult is how to achieve a balance between load-bearing, speed, and noise. The greater the load-bearing capacity and the faster the speed we need to lift the desk frame, the louder the sound of the motor will naturally become. There is a contradiction between them. To achieve a balance between load-bearing, speed, and noise, we took the following measures:

Choose high-quality silent motors: Our electric lift desk motors are all well-known brands with reliable quality. This kind of electric motor usually has good performance and low noise characteristics.

Use silencer grease: Apply special silencer grease to key parts of the electric lift desk (such as the screw rod of the electric lift desk and the inner tube of the steel wall) to reduce friction and achieve anti-wear and silencer effects. thereby reducing noise.

Optimized structural design: Engineers analyze and design the structure of the electric lift desk to achieve an optimal structure to reduce noise.

Spraying tolerances: Electric lift desk raw materials have very strict wall thickness requirements. The fully automatic spraying line achieves very small tolerances so that the gaps between the lifting columns are uniform and noise can be reduced.

If you have bought an electric lift desk that is very noisy (if it cannot be returned or exchanged), you can also take some measures to reduce the noise, such as optimizing the office layout. By arranging a reasonable office layout and adding some sound-absorbing materials, you can effectively reduce the noise. Reduce overall noise levels in the office, thereby indirectly reducing the noise impact of electric standing desks. If you buy a single-motor lift desk, because the single-motor motor is exposed, you can buy some sound-absorbing materials to wrap the motor, which can also reduce the noise.

Because the noise problem of electric standing lift desks is related to many factors, especially the motor and lifting columns, if you want to maintain a low-noise standing desk for a long time, the maintenance of electric lifting desks has also become very important. Regularly maintain and inspect the electric standing lift desk to ensure the normal operation of its components and avoid the problem of increased noise caused by motor failure and mechanical failure.

If there is a motor failure or mechanical failure in the electric lift desk, be sure to promptly provide feedback and after-sales service to your electric lift desk supplier. Usually, the after-sales guarantee time for the electric lift desk is 5 years, during which period, repairs can be performed free of charge. Or replace accessories. Timely after-sales service is to ensure that you can always work or study in a quiet and comfortable environment.

What are the consequences of an electric lift desk being too noisy?

Affects mood and work efficiency: Excessive noise will interfere with the user's attention, lead to irritability, and thus affect the efficiency of work or study.

Affecting others: If the noise of the electric standing desk is too loud, it may disturb the people around you, especially when it is used in places that require a quiet environment, such as libraries, offices, etc.

Health problems: Long-term exposure to high-noise environments may cause damage to hearing and may cause other health problems, such as headaches, insomnia, etc.

Therefore, it is very important to choose a quiet standing desk, especially for families and children, a low-noise lift desk is even more important. Lower noise can reduce interference to them, allowing them to focus more on learning and Activity.

Customers who are shopping for standing desks have taken note recently. The lift desk factory tells you how to choose the right low-noise electric lift desk.

First, look at the motor type. Choosing a lifting desk with a high-quality, low-noise motor is key. The quality of the motor directly affects the noise level of the lifting desk. A high-quality motor can not only provide a smooth lifting process but also effectively control the noise.

Second, you can check the noise test results of lift table products. The noise level of most lift desks can be controlled below 50 decibels. This type of noise is close to the level of a whisper and has less impact on daily use.

Third, choose a dual-motor lift desk. In comparison, an electric lift desk driven by dual motors is usually less noisy.

Fourth, refer to other users’ reviews and actual usage experiences.

Upliftec is an electric lift desk manufacturer in China. They have conducted in-depth research on the noise problem of electric lift desks. The noise of their electric lift desks can be below 40 dB in a silent room laboratory, which is worse than ambient noise. Much quieter. Low-noise standing desks can bring users a relatively quiet working or studying environment. Low noise means higher quality of the motor. Not only will the lifting and lowering operation of the electric lifting desk be more stable, but also the quality of the motor will be higher. The service life will also be longer, so it is very important to choose a low-noise lift desk.
