Screw Jack Type 1 Structure – Screw Moves Axially (Translating Screw)
Screw Jack Type 1 – Screw Moves Axially
In Type 1 screw jack structure, the worm gear is threadedly connected to the screw. When the worm gear rotates, the screw rotates and moves axially simultaneously – the nut remains fixed in the housing.
How It Works
The worm drives the worm gear
The worm gear's internal threads engage with the screw
The screw rotates and extends/retracts linearly
The load is connected to the moving screw end
Key Characteristics
●Simple structure – easy to install and maintain
●Screw moves – the screw itself travels up and down
●Nut is fixed – secured within the gearbox housing
Screw Head Types for Type 1
Type 1 structure supports four screw head types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Type I (Cylindrical) | Plain cylindrical end |
| Type II (Flanged) | Flange for bolted connections |
| Type III (Threaded) | Threaded end for nut attachment |
| Type IV (Flat head) | Flat end for custom connections |
Protection Options for Type 1
Type 1 supports three protection configurations:
Basic – standard configuration
Anti-rotation (F) – prevents screw rotation
With protective boot (Z) – protects against dust and debris
Anti-rotation + protective boot (FZ) – combined protection
Typical Applications
Type 1 is commonly used when the load needs to move with the screw – ideal for lifting platforms, scissor lifts, and height adjustment systems.
