How to Size and Select Screw Jacks

Selecting and Sizing Screw Jacks

Designing reliable linear motion systems requires precision. Whether you are deciding between translating or rotating configurations or weighing the benefits of Acme vs. Ball Screw spindles, selecting the wrong component can lead to premature wear or system failure.

This comprehensive white paper simplifies the screw jack sizing procedure into seven manageable steps. We cover critical calculations, including:

  • Load requirements and safety factors.

  • Duty cycle considerations for thermal limits.

  • Travel speeds and input power requirements.

Plus, see these principles in action with a real-life case study featuring a hydraulic replacement situation.
