Abstract:
A stabilizing device for a piece of furniture including a housing with a piston opening, and a piston element mounted movably within the housing and moveable at least partly out of the piston opening for engagement with a supporting surface. The stabilizing device further includes an actuator, including a motor, connected to the piston element for actuating a movement of the piston. A control unit connected to the actuator for control of the actuation of the piston element, and at least one first sensor capable of measuring the load on the motor. The at least one first sensor device is connected to the control unit such that the movement of the piston element can be controlled based on input from the first sensor.
