Screw Jack Systems provide comprehensive 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 extensive selection of drive, connection, motion control, safety, and safety components to supply a complete bundle from an individual source.

We offers system style assistance, taking the guess work out of product selection. Our years of application experience assures that all elements of the design process are considered. We also offer complete assembly drawings, which provides time saving worth and guarantees the right system components are integrated 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 might be used separately or in multiple arrangements. There are no “standard” travel lengths and all Worm Gear Screw Jack systems are designed to specification.
The jack housings are made from 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 metal worm which drives a high strength bronze worm gear (drive sleeve). The worm shaft is backed on antifriction tapered roller bearings with exterior seals provided to avoid loss of lubrication (sealed radial bearings on the MJ, 1/4 , 1/2, and 1 ton units). The drive sleeve can be 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 steel worm which drives a higher strength bronze worm gear (drive sleeve). The worm shaft is backed on anti-friction tapered roller bearings with exterior seals provided to prevent loss of lubrication. The drive sleeve is usually 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 Class 2-C (Centralizing) tolerances. Jack lift shaft business lead tolerance is approximately ±0.004″ per foot.
Designed with state-of-the-art CAD and CAE systems and sticking with stringent worm screw jack manufacturing requirements, these screw jacks fulfill all the required safety, cost-efficiency, and strength mandates of the application.
