The ball screw jacks can be employed for lifting, pulling, moving, aligning any kind of load with a perfect synchronism, which is difficult to obtain by means of other handling devices. The ball screw jacks are suitable for high services as well as for a very rapid, quick and precise positioning.
Ball Screw Jacks use a ball screw and nut made from hardened alloy steel with bearing balls carrying the load between nut & screw. This rolling action reduces the friction between nut and screw, permitting smooth and efficient load movement that requires approximately 1/3 less torque than a machine screw jack with the same load.
Ball screw jacks are preferred for:
Long travel lengths .
Long, predictable life .
High duty cycles.
Oscillating motion
