How do I determine the full-extended lifting screw length? The extended lifting screw length is normally equal to the travel stroke. If screw jack is equipped with bellows boot and stop nut, must be added the bellows boot full retract length and the addition stop nut or special closed height. These must be increased the extended lifting screw length. For inverted screw jack, the thickness of the mounting structure must be included. This total extended lifting screw length should be used when determining the permissible buckling load of the screw jack. Should the load being positioned be guided? It is highly recommended that the load be guided, however, it is not necessary. A guided system will provide more column stability and allow longer screw jack travel. Column length is greatly reduced on unguided systems. External load forces common with unguided systems are detrimental to the life and operation of the screw jack. Can the screw jack withstand side loading or a bending moment? Yes, but this is not recommended. Consult Jacton if this condition will be present. These types of loads apply greater forces on the screw jack and housing assembly causing premature wear. Guides are highly recommended and should be used to eliminate side and bending loads. Can the screw jack withstand shock loading? This is not recommended. Oversized screw jacks are required to handle shock loads. Solid thrust bearings are also available in many screw jack models when constant vibration and shock are present in an application. What is the difference between upright and inverted screw jack configurations? The difference between an upright and an inverted screw jack is the location at which the lifting screw exits the jack relative to the jack gearbox. For example, an upright screw jacks lifting screw exits the jack opposite the gearbox. An inverted screw jacks lifting screw exits the jack on the same side as the gearbox. The choice between inverted and upright screw jack is dependent upon the application. Note: An upright screw jack mounted upside down is still referred to as an upright screw jack. How is the linear travel speed calculated? Each screw jack has an inherent number show lifting screw travel per full turn of worm shaft input. The result of the screw jack is equal to the lifting screw pitch divided by worm gear ratio. For example, JT-10T model screw jack, screw pitch 8mm, high worm gear ratio 1/8, the lifting screw travel is 1mm per full turn of worm shaft input. If 900Rpm is applied to the worm shaft, the linear travel speed is 900Rpm multiplied by 1mm/r, equal to 900 millimeter per minute. Are screw jacks lubricated prior to shipment?

What electric motors options are available? Electric motor options vary among product lines. Customers can use AC 3-phase motor, AC single-phase motor, DC motor. Standard voltage of China is 380V/220V, 3-phase, 50Hz, or 220V, single-phase, 50Hz. Customized international voltage motors like America 110V-single phase-60hz, 240V/480V-three phase-60Hz, other voltages 230V/240V-single phase-50hz, 400V/415V/440V-three phase-50hz etc. Are screw jacks corrosion resistant? Stainless steel screw jacks are inherently corrosion resistant. All exposed surfaces are stainless steel and aluminum bronze. Most other screw jacks can be modified with special finishes, coatings, and seals. Can bellows boots be supplied for an screw jack model with inverted screw? Yes, but allowance must be made in the length of the lifting screw for both the closed height of the boot and structure thickness. Since we can make no provision for attaching a boot on the underside of your structure, we suggest that a circular plate similar to the lifting screw top plate be welded or bolted to the bottom of your structure supporting the screw jack, thereby making it possible to use a standard bellows boot. Is there backlash between the lifting screw and worm gear? Yes. This is necessary to allow for sliding or rolling action of the lifting screw through the worm gear. Anti-backlash nut screw jack is available when the backlash needs to be minimized. Input torque requirements are greater for anti-backlash nut screw jack. How is the lifting screw protected? Standard translating screw jack is fitted with a lifting screw protective pipe that stores the lifting screw when the screw jack is in the closed position. Bellows boot is available and recommended to protect the lifting screw in the extended position. Double bellows boots are required for rotating screw jack with traveling nut. How do I attach the load to be positioned to the lifting screw? For translating screw jack, the lifting screw has a standard threaded end that can be used to attach the load, top plate, clevis end, plain end and forked head are also available. For traveling nut design, the traveling nut has a flange with mounting holes. The screw jack gearbox has a mounting base and is also available with a clevis mount for double clevis requirements. Will the lifting screw rotate?

What is the maximum and minimum operating temperature? Standard Jacton screw jacks are designed to operate at maximum 80 deg.C (185 deg.F) ambient temperature. For higher temperatures, special grease and seals are required, contact Jacton of these special requirements. Minimum minus 20 deg.C (minus 4 deg.F) ambient temperature. For lower temperatures, special grease and seals are required, contact Jacton of these special requirements. How do I lubricate a screw screw jack? Use the proper grease. Fill the gearbox by pumping grease into the grease fittings supplied in the screw jack housing. The lifting screws should have grease applied directly to them with a rag or paintbrush. This must be done as part of a regularly scheduled maintenance program.
