Screw Jacks Suppliers
A Screw Jack (also called a Jack Screw, Worm Screw Jack, Machine Screw Jack, or Lead Screw Jack) is a device that converts rotational motion into linear motion. It takes advantage of a screw thread’s mechanical advantage, allowing it to be used to magnify force.
Types of Screw Jack
To determine which type of screw jack is best for your application, you must consider several factors, including load, self-locking capabilities, stroke, speed, efficiency, accuracy, duty cycle, and price.
Ball Screw Jacks
- Improved speed, efficiency, duty cycle
- Requires less motor power
- Better positioning accuracy
- Not suitable for manual operation
- Need brake motor to hold the position
- Load capacities: 1 ton to 100 ton
- Input shafts: 1 or 2
Machine Screw Jacks
- Slower travel speeds
- Lower Efficiency
- Lower duty cycles
- Usually self-locking
- Good choice for small load manual operation
- Load capacities: 1 ton to 120 ton
- Input shafts: 1 or 2
Bevel Gear Screw Jacks
- It has acme screw or ball screw version
- Fast travel speeds
- High efficiency
- High duty cycles
- No suitable for heavy load
- Load capacities: 1 ton to 25 ton
- Input shafts: 1, 2 or 3
Advantages of using Screw Jack
2. The use of mechanical advantage reduces the amount of energy required to move large loads.
3. Loads are held in place without the need for braking systems in self-locking devices.
4. Compared to other linear motion technologies, this technology has the best cost/performance ratio.

Screw Jack Knowledge
What should pay attention when using screw jacks ?
The specific precautions for the screw jack are as follows:
Firstly, always keep the surface of the screw jack clean, regularly check whether the internal structure is intact, make the pinion in the rocker flexible and reliable, and lift the lifting sleeve freely.
Secondly, the friction surface between the lifting sleeve and the housing must be oiled at any time. Other oil filling holes should be lubricated regularly.
Thirdly, in order to take into account the safety in use, the jack should not be overloaded, work with illness, it is not appropriate to use more than one to avoid danger.
Fourthly, The screw jack must be checked regularly, depending on the level of use and the working environment. It is advisable to check if there is a lubricant leak in the housing. If this happens, you need to find and remove the cause and fill the lubricant with the correct level.The lubrication conditions of the threaded spindle must be checked regularly (if necessary, recovery must be made) and the presence of any foreign matter. Safety components must be inspected according to applicable specifications.
How do rotate screw jack and translating screw jack work?
—Translating screw jack
The rotation of the worm shaft causes the worm gear to rotate. For translating screw jacks, the worm gear is threaded to accommodate the lead screw thread. As the worm gear turns, the friction forces on the screw thread also act to turn the screw. The greater the load on the screw jack unit, the greater the tendency of the screw to turn. If the screw turns with the nut (worm gear), it will not raise the load. In those cases where a single unit is used, and the bag cannot be restrained from turning, it is necessary to use a screw jack with an anti-rotation mechanism (anti-rotation keyed screw jack). Lead screw key torque must be checked as hefty unguided loads could break the anti-rotation tool.
—Rotating Screw Jack
The rotation of the worm shaft causes the worm gear to rotate. For rotating screw jacks, the lead screw is fixed to the worm gear and rotates at the same speed. As the worm gear turns, the friction forces on the screw thread also act to turn the nut. The greater the load on the screw jack unit, the greater the tendency of the nut to turn. If the nut turns with the screw, it will not raise the load. Therefore the nut needs to be fixed to a structure to prevent rotation.
When choosing translating screw jacks, the available screw top end can be a top plate, threaded end, plain end, clevis end, or fork end. But for rotating screw jack, the available screw top end can only be straight and threaded.
