The Flexispot 40-inch EM7 Series utilizes a brushed DC motor coupled with a lead-screw mechanism for vertical lifting. Technical specifications list a 33 lb lift capacity for the 40-inch MDF work surface. Unlike pneumatic systems, the motorized drive provides granular height control without mechanical rebound. The unit is powered by a non-proprietary AC adapter, facilitating easier component replacement if necessary.
Structural analysis confirms the use of heavy-gauge steel in the frame, which increases stability but also adds to the initial dead weight supported by the motor. The control system consists of a zero-latency physical rocker switch with no integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. The single-motor design results in a slower lift speed compared to dual-motor full-desk assemblies.
The absence of collision detection sensors requires the user to maintain clear vertical paths and managed cable sleeves to prevent damage during ascent. There are no programmable memory presets for different user heights. The surface features integrated grommets for cable routing and monitor arm attachment.
For users with smaller workspace requirements, the FLEXISPOT 32" Electric Standing Desk Converter provides similar motorized functionality in a reduced footprint. This hardware type is indexed under motorized desk converters.
