Screw Jack
ActionJac™ Worm Gear Screw Jack systems are ruggedly designed and produced in standard models with load handling capacities from 1/4 ton to 100 tons. Metric capacities are also available from 5 kN to 200 kN.
- No "standard" travel lengths (built to specification).
- Ductile iron housings proportioned to support the rated capacity of the unit.
- Use individually or in multiple screw jack arrangements.
- Alloy steel worm drive with high strength bronze worm gear (drive sleeve).
- Anti-friction tapered roller bearings with external seals to prevent loss of lubrication.
- The drive sleeve is supported on anti-friction tapered roller or ball thrust bearings.
- Premium finishes are available including Epoxy, Outdoor, Marine, or per customer specification.
Selecting the Proper Screw Jack
Machine Screw Jack
Advantages
- Low noise (no rolling components)
- Ideal for vertical and light loads

- Safe for static loads
- Lower cost
Ball Screw Jack
Advantages
- Improved speed, force, duty cycle, acceleration
- Longer life cycle (low friction)
- Requires less motor power
- Greater positioning accuracy
- Higher static load and lower dynamic load
Stainless Steel Screw Jack
Advantages
- Corrosion resistance for demanding environments
- Low noise (no rolling components)
- Ideal for vertical and light loads
- Pre-loaded nut assembly reduces backlash
- Safe for static loads
