Select 5 key parameters for lowering the screw jack/turbine hoist


Spiral jacks/screw lifts are widely used in lifting platforms, machine leveling, press machine adjustment, gate lifting, conveyor height adjustment, workbench systems, and synchronous lifting of multiple jacks

The key data that needs to be defined before selecting a mechanical screw lift jack is as follows:

1. Load capacity of screw jack

Determine the maximum lifting or compression load (kN, ton, or kg), and then describe the characteristics of the load:

Is it one jack that bears all the load, or are there 2, 4 or more synchronized jacks that share the load?

Is the load static or does it contain shock or vibration (mild, moderate, severe)?

Is the load concentrated or is there an eccentric load and bending moment due to structural constraints?

2. Effective travel (effective movement)

Speed is usually defined as the speed of linear travel (in millimeters per second or millimeters per minute). The duty cycle defines the operating time and frequency of the jack


3. Speed and duty cycle

●Required driving speed

Number of cycles per hour (or per day)

Continuous running time (minutes/hour


4. Accuracy and positioning requirements

Clarify whether the application requires:

Accurate positioning or repeatable positioning

Synchronization accuracy of multi socket system (e.g. ± 0.1 mm or ± 0.5 mm)

Self locking or "power-off position retention" without brakes


5. Environmental and installation restrictions

Temperature range:

Dust, water spray, flushing, corrosion exposure

Indoor or outdoor work

Space limitations around the spindle and guide rail

Installation direction (upright, inverted, horizontal)

Environmental factors have a significant impact on the selection of lubricants, protective covers, and anti-corrosion measures.
