Do not exceed the screw jack ratings including design load, travel, and input speed. Install, align and
shield all moving parts properly. Proper machinery installation practices should be followed. Safety
codes for mechanical power transmissions apparatus are to be followed. Check for and adhere to all
applicable safety codes. Bolts should be sized to fit the screw jack base mounting holes, at least
grade 5 and tightened to the appropriate torque. Mounting bases should be flat and sufficiently strong
to support the load on the jack. Properly lubricate and maintain the screw jacks. Use the operation
manual only for the intended application. Failure to install, operation or maintain screw jacks could
result in product failure and personal injury.
This screw jack operation manual is applicable to all screw jacks models. Information represents
typical configuration and may different slightly from the actual screw jack being installed or repaired.
1. Any obvious or suspected damage to screw jack during transport from the factory must be
immediately taken pictures and reported to Jacton corresponding sales and the carrier, The sales will
submit this problem to Jacton engineers teams immediately.
2. Upon delivery all of the screw jack should be inventoried to determine if shortages exist. All
shortages must be immediately taken pictures and reported to Jacton corresponding sales and the
carrier, The sales will submit this problem to Jacton QC teams and warehousers immediately.
3. Installation, maintenance and safety instructions must be given to personnel directly responsible
for the installation, maintenance and operation of the jack.
Caution!
Screw jacks are normally self-locking. Vibration could cause a screw jack to self-lower or creep.
Stop nut is used to prevent lifting screw moving out of the screw jack base. Jacton standard screw
jacks are not equipped with stop nuts unless special requirements in your purchase order.
Screwjacks are not meant for personnel support. All applications designed for personnel support
must be approved by Jacton engineers team.
2. Be assured the screw jack input speed is not be exceeded. Specifications show the max. speed.
3. The foundation for the screw jack should be rigid enough to maintain correct alignment with
connected machinery and have sufficient strength to support the maximum load.
4. The foundation should have a flat mounting surface in order to assure uniform support for the
screw jack. Be assured the opening in the foundation for the protective pipe or the lifting screw is as
small as possible in order that the jack is supported over the greatest possible area.
5. Check the method of stopping the screw rotation, maybe translation will occur is sufficiently strong.
When individual screw jack application without be guided, will need keyed screw jack.
6. It is extremely important that the screw jack be installed so that the lifting screw is perfectly plumb
and all connecting shafts are aligned with the worm shaft.
7. After precise alignment, each member must be securely bolted and if possible doweled in place.
Doweling will assure exact repositioning if ever removed. It is essential that a gear unit be securely
bolted down to the foundation using bolts of proper diameter to fit the mounting holes.
8. After the screw jacks, bevel gearboxes, couplings, connecting shafts are installed and aligned,
there should be no signs of binding or misalignment.
9. Couplings and connecting shaft are the responsibility of the customer and are not provided by
Jacton side, unless special requirements in your purchase order.
10. Caution must be taken when operating your jack at either extreme of travel. If possible, hard
external stop nuts should be provided.
11. If operating at the upper limits of the screw jack capacity, dont stop the downward travel of the
jack by running the lifting screw attachments or the load against the gearbox without checking with
Jacton side, as serious damage to the internal mechanism may result.
12. The customer is responsible for providing mechanical stops and limit switches for control of the
prime mover. None are included unless special requirements in your purchase order. If limit switches
are furnished by Jacton, normally, we install limit switches for controlling full travel stroke, also
following customers special requirements.
The foundation of the screw jack is critical to insure alignment. Mount the jack and check that the axis
of the lifting screw is parallel to the movement of the load and centered with respect to the load. Shim
under the base to achieve this if needed. Both eccentric load or side load will cause premature wear
The next step is to align the input shaft with the worm shaft of the screw jack. This alignment can be
just as critical to proper operation. Test the alignment by rotating the shafts by hand and fully extend
the lifting screws.
If the hand operation turns freely and the other components of the system are in alignment, tighten
the mounting fasteners and attach the load to the screw jack. Start-up should be and break-in periods
of several minutes with careful observation are required. Any vibrations, binding or excessive
amperage draw of motors is reason to shut down and repeat the entire alignment procedure.
Finally the lifting screw should be re-greased with a light film, and the screw jack gearbox be checked
that it is full of grease.
Troubleshooting
Your screw jack will perform satisfactorily if the suggestions described in the booklet are carefully
followed. It is estimated the approximately 98 percent of screw jack failures can be attributed to
improper lubrication, misapplication and misalignment.
Trouble Inspection Point Solutions
Reduce load or replace with unit of
1. Jack Overload sufficient capacity
Gearbox Failure Jack should be supported over entire
2. Improper Support
base area, not just at bolt hole locations.
3. High Shock Select larger Unit
4. Uneven Bolting Torque Take up evenly on mounting bolts
Rigid Couplings can cause shaft Failure.
1. Type of Coupling Replace with coupling which will provide
adequate flexibility and lateral float
2. Coupling Alignment Re-align as required
3. Excessive Overhung Load Check Jack for allowable loads
4. Jack Overload See Gearbox failure #1
5. Shock Loading Install coupling capable of absorbing
shock and if necessary replace with jack
Worm Shaft Failure of sufficient capacity. Shock loads can
significantly increase apparent dead
weight
6. Ganging Jacks If several jacks are in-line, the worm
shaft of the first jack will be subjected to
the combined torque of all the jacks. If
this torque exceeded 300% of the rated
input torque you must replace with a
larger jack
Lubrication
The lubricant should not be corrosive to worm gear, ball or roller bearings and must be neutral in
reaction. The lubricant must not contain any contamination that may be detrimental to operation of
the screw jack. The lubricant must have resistance to oxidation and must be non-channeling.
Operating temperatures must be considered when selecting a lubricant for a screw jack. We
recommended the following extreme pressure greases or their equivalents. For applications outside
these limits contact Jacton.
The screw jack normal working temperature -20 deg. C ~ +80 deg. C, Filled with NLGI EP 1 or 2
grade grease, Special working temperature, need special grease, please contact Jacton.
Jacton screw jacks are lubricated prior to shipment. Lubrication inspection is recommended at
regular intervals. Intervals are determined by the duty cycles of the screw jack, but should be
performed a minimum of once every two months.
Each screw jack is furnished with a grease nipple. The screw jack should be filled with grease until
lubricant begins to seep from the lifting screw opening. For the screw jack is equipped with boots,
remove the boot at the jack before you check for proper grease levels. Severe operating conditions
may require more frequent lubrication.
Lifting screw must be checked regularly to insure that they are adequately lubricated. This is
especially critical for the rotating design screw jacks where no lubrication is deposited because the
lifting screw does not translate through the screw jack gearbox into the protective pipe.
The Lifting screw must be kept free of contaminants and should be lubricated. If possible, lifting
screw should be booted or returned to retracted position when it's not in use.
Along with periodic inspection, check the alignment of the lifting screw to the load. Misalignment will
cause premature wear and possible failure. The load should be centered on the axis of the lifting
screw and motion should be parallel to the axis of the lifting screw. The power output shafting must
be aligned with respect to the screw jack input shaft. Binding during rotation will cause premature
wear. After the screw jacks, connecting shafts, couplings, bevel gearboxes and gear reducers are
coupled together in a system, it should be possible to rotate the shafts to fully extend the unloaded
screw jacks by hand.
The screw jacks are lubricated by the Jacton and are ready for operation on delivery. The translating
screw configurations must be lubricated via their grease nipples with one of the greases specified
below at intervals of 30 50 operating hours. The lifting screw should be cleaned and greased at the
same time. We recommend that the screw jack gearbox be cleaned to remove old grease and refilled
with fresh grease after every 600 operating hours or every 18 months. The screw jacks can
disassembly and assembly easily:
1. dismount the screw jack and clean.
2. disassemble the lifting screw and lifting screw protective pipe (only for translating screw).
3. Remove locking screws for screw jack gearbox cover.
4. Wash out the screw jack gearbox and components with a suitable wash medium.
5. Refill with grease
Can bellows boots be supplied for an screw jack model with inverted screw?
Yes, but allowance must be made in the length of the lifting screw for both the closed height of the
boot and structure thickness. Since we can make no provision for attaching a boot on the underside
of your structure, we suggest that a circular plate similar to the lifting screw top plate be welded or
bolted to the bottom of your structure supporting the screw jack, thereby making it possible to use a
standard bellows boot.
