This paper presents the design and operating characteristics of an elevator unit, which is a basic element of the proposed air lifter with a high stroke by using a pneumatic soft actuator. By adopting a pantograph type link mechanism for the elevator unit, it was verified whether the table could stably expand and contract. As a result of the experiment, we confirmed that the elevator unit moved at the fixed speed in the expansion and contraction operation, and the table angle in the operation was measured at maximum about 4 degrees in the unloaded condition.
