Screw Jacks

Precise. Reliable. Configurable.

Our TSE configurator provides you with customized linear motion drives. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Quick Summary

  • 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 put together your individual worm gear screw jack conveniently and easily. Please contact us if you have any questions!

Screw jacks

Screw jacks from Technische Antriebselemente can be driven via external electric actuators or or manual rotary movements and can be used as linear motion drives. Our worm gear screw jacks can move loads of up to 10 tons with positional accuracy as standard. A distinction is made between screw jacks with a rotating screw, in which a nut performs the linear motion, and screw jacks with a stationary shaft. In this variant, a nut installed in the gearbox drives the spindle linearly.

Loads between 2kN and 100kN can be realized as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions About Screw Jacks

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.
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.
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.
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.
