Screw Jack, Rotary Union, Ball Screw, Electric Cylinder, Actuator

screw Jacks

A screw jack is a device used to apply a force, push and pull, or move to a position and hold by mechanically converting rotary motion into linear motion
Screw jacks (mechanical actuators) capacities from 1/4 ton to 350 tons
Available in machine screw, ball screw, stainless steel machine screw actuators, micro-miniature actuators, high duty cycle actuators, motorized machine screw and ball screw actuators, electric cylinders and motor control systems
Accessories include miter gear boxes, c-face motor adapters, limit switches, transducers, visual and digital position indicators, couplings, ball screws and ball screw systems, and locking rings
Can be used as alternatives to hydraulic and pneumatic systems
