Kepler's Guide to Cascade Lifts

Cascade lifts are always a hot topic when lifts get brought up, and it's easy to see why. They look cool, have a strange type of motion, and seem very complex. I have deciphered the inner workings of the lift, so take a look. Note: It has come to my attention that the lift in the video is not a true Cascade lift. It is actually a continuous lift, but for some reason I referred to it as a cascade lift. It is the simpler brother of the cascade lift, having a single stretch of chain as opposed to several. I will be keeping the video as is because it is still important and has useful info, along with Cascade being used as a catch-all term for all these multi-stage linear lifts (It's kinda like brand appropriation, but without the brand). This video does only cover Continuous lifts, and not the modified Triple lifts and such. Mechanism was inspired by J Pearman's original Cascade lift, and his videos and pictures were instrumental in explaining this difficult and complex lift.    • cascade lift prototype 1   https://www.vexforum.com/t/new-triple...
