Screw Jack Systems offer extensive lifting and positioning design solutions for a wide variety of industries. Highly accurate and intensely reliable machine screw and ball screw jacks are matched with an intensive selection of drive, connection, movement control, safety, and security components to provide a complete package from an individual source.
We offers system design assistance, taking the guess work out of item selection. Our years of program experience assures that all elements of the design process are believed. We also offer complete assembly drawings, which provides time saving worth and guarantees the correct system components are integrated into your design.
Worm Gear 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 “standard” travel lengths and all Worm Gear Screw Jack systems are built to specification.
The jack housings are constructed with ductile iron and proportioned to support 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 higher strength bronze worm gear (drive sleeve). The worm shaft is backed on antifriction tapered roller bearings with exterior seals provided to prevent loss of lubrication (sealed radial bearings on the MJ, 1/4 , 1/2, and 1 ton products). The drive sleeve is backed 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 avoid loss of lubrication. The drive sleeve is 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, depending upon jack configuration.
The threads are 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 manufacturing requirements, these screw jacks satisfy all the required safety, cost-efficiency, and strength mandates of your application.
