Screw Jack Systems provide comprehensive lifting and positioning design solutions for a wide selection of industries. Highly accurate and intensely reliable machine screw and ball screw jacks are matched with an considerable selection of drive, connection, motion control, safety, and safety components to supply a complete package from an individual source.
We offers system design assistance, taking the imagine work out of item selection. Our years of software experience assures that all elements of the design process are considered. We also offer complete assembly drawings, which gives time saving value and guarantees the right system components are built-into your design.
Worm Equipment Screw Jack systems are ruggedly designed and produced in standard models with load managing capacities from 1/4 ton to 100 tons. They may be used individually or in multiple arrangements. There are no "regular" travel lengths and all Worm Gear Screw Jack systems are designed to specification.
The jack housings are constructed with ductile iron and proportioned to aid the rated capacity of the machine. MJ, 1/4 ton, and 1/2 ton models have light weight aluminum housings.
Each Worm Gear Screw Jack incorporates an alloy steel worm which drives a high strength bronze worm gear (drive sleeve). The worm shaft is backed on antifriction tapered roller bearings with external seals provided to prevent loss of lubrication (sealed radial bearings on the MJ, 1/4 , 1/2, and 1 ton products). The drive sleeve can be supported on antifriction tapered roller or ball thrust bearings. Rotation of the drive sleeve causes the lifting screw to translate or rotate, depending upon jack configuration.
The Inch and Metric Worm Gear Machine Screw Jacks incorporate an alloy or stainless worm which drives a high strength bronze worm gear (drive sleeve). The worm shaft is backed on anti-friction tapered roller bearings with external seals provided to prevent lack of lubrication. The drive sleeve is certainly supported on anti-friction tapered roller or ball thrust bearings. Rotation of the drive sleeve causes the acme thread lifting screw to translate or rotate, dependant on jack configuration.
The threads are worm screw jack precision formed, typically using Course 2-C (Centralizing) tolerances. Jack lift shaft business lead tolerance is approximately ±0.004" per foot.
Designed with state-of-the-artwork CAD and CAE systems and adhering to stringent production requirements, these screw jacks meet all the necessary safety, cost-efficiency, and strength mandates of your application.
