The most important facts in brief
- A worm gear screw jack is a mechanical device for converting rotary motion into linear motion, often used in lifting and positioning applications.
- The functionality of a worm gear screw jack is based on a threaded spindle mechanism that converts rotary movements into a linear stroke, ideal for precise positioning.
- In industry, a worm gear screw jack is often used in presses, conveyor systems or platform lifting systems to safely lift and lower heavy loads.
- With our TSE configurator, you can easily and conveniently put together your individually configurable worm gear screw jack. Please contact us if you have any questions!
Our worm gear screw jacks at a glance
Worm gear screw jacks from Technische Antriebselemente can be driven by external electric drives or manual rotary movements and can be used as linear motion drives. Our worm gear screw jacks can move loads between 2kN and 100kN as standard. With our worm gear screw jacks, we differentiate between screw jacks with a rotating spindle, in which a nut performs the linear movement, and worm gear screw jacks with a stationary shaft. In this variant, a nut installed in the gearbox drives the spindle linearly.
As standard, our worm gear screw jacks can handle loads between 2kN and 100kN.

Screw jacks for efficient linear movements in a wide range of applications
Worm gear screw jacks, available in manual and motorized versions, are essential for various industrial applications in mechanical engineering and drive technology. They combine powerful electric motors with precise worm gearboxes to guarantee maximum efficiency and reliability. They are perfect for linear motion in a wide range of industrial applications. Our rotary worm gear screw jacks are particularly suitable for applications that require higher speeds or longer stroke lengths. They are ideal when the screw rotates and the nut remains stationary, making them an excellent choice for dynamic and fast motion sequences. In contrast, our stationary screw jacks are perfect for situations where precision and holding loads in a fixed position are required. With a stationary screw and a moving nut, these gearboxes enable precise positioning and are particularly useful in applications where the load is guided along the screw.

Frequently asked questions about the worm gear screw jack
What is a worm gear screw jack and in which applications is it used?
A worm gear screw jack is a mechanical device that converts a rotary motion into a linear motion. It is commonly used in the automation, manufacturing and construction industries to precisely lift, lower or position loads. Screw jacks are available in various designs, including manual and motorized models, to meet different requirements.
What is the difference between rotary and stationary worm gear screw jacks and how do I choose the right one for my application?
Rotating worm gear screw jacks, in which the spindle rotates, are ideal for fast or dynamic movements. Stationary worm gear screw jacks with a fixed spindle and moving nut, on the other hand, are suitable for precise positioning tasks. The choice depends on the type of movement and the requirements of your application: speed and dynamics for rotating gearboxes, precision and stability for stationary models.
How does a manual spindle drive work and where is it used?
A manual screw drive is operated by human power, typically via a hand crank or handwheel. This type of actuator is used in applications where electric or automated systems are not practical or necessary, such as simple lifting devices or in environments where electricity is not available or desirable. Motorized screw jacks offer greater efficiency and ease of use, especially for tasks that require repetitive or continuous motion. They are ideal for applications where precise control, higher lifting speeds or lifting heavy loads are required. Motorized gearboxes reduce physical strain on the operator and allow for more accurate and consistent performance.
How do screw jacks differ from other types of screw jacks?
Screw jacks use a lead screw to generate linear motion and are particularly suitable for applications that require precise control of movement. Unlike other screw jacks, such as hydraulic or pneumatic systems, they offer high positional accuracy and are ideal for fine-tuned movements required in precision manufacturing or laboratory automation. They are also less prone to leakage and can be used in cleaner environments.
