Sometimes customers look for screw jacks with anti-rotation function. Then lets us see more about anti-rotation device.

When Work Screw rotation must be prevented, the Jacks can be realized with keyway along the Work Screw, a matching key (6) is fastened to the cover of the Jack which will eliminate Work Screw rotation.

This design is only available for translating screw jacks. If the structure/object connected to the lead screw is not prevented from rotating or the lead screw is not always in contact with the structure then a screw jack with an “Anti-Rotation” mechanism (keyed) should be used. For machine screw jacks the mechanism uses an internal key to prevent the lead screw from rotating.

Anti-rotation device is suggested for limited strokes and low speed.
The Anti-rotation device causes greater than normal wear on the Work Screw, somewhat reducing Jack life.

For ball screw jacks a guided element fixed to the ball screw is used to prevent the ball screw from rotating.
