Overview of Options, Accessories, and Controls
This document provides comprehensive details on the options, accessories, and controls for Joyce/Dayton products, including protective boots, trunnion mounts, limit switches, potentiometers, and more. Each section covers specifications, applications, and installation considerations.
Protective Boots
Designed to protect machine and ball screw jacks from environmental elements, these boots are available in neoprene-coated nylon and can be customized for extreme conditions. They may affect the closed height of jacks based on travel distance.
Trunnion Mounts
These adapters are for jacks moving through an arc, available for 2-ton to 20-ton jacks, requiring customer-supplied steel trunnion pins with specific hardness and yield strength.
Limit Switches
Joyce limit switches provide precise travel limits for jacks and actuators, available in models LS7, LS8, and LS9, housed in NEMA 4 enclosures for dust and water protection.
Geared Potentiometers
These provide precise positioning signals for jacks, suitable for integration with PLCs or computers, featuring a slip clutch to prevent over-rotation and optional mechanical limit switches.
Key Specifications and Considerations
  • Protective boots can be customized for specific conditions.
  • Trunnion mounts require precise installation and customer-supplied components.
  • Limit switches offer multiple configuration options for various jack capacities.
  • Geared potentiometers are crucial for precise control and positioning feedback.

Ordering Information
Shafts ordered in 1/16 inch increments, part numbers based on diameter and length.
Diameter Selection Chart
Provides shaft torque, nominal shaft diameter, maximum distance between supports, and maximum allowable RPMs.
Controls - Motor Starters
Used for motorized jacks, featuring limit switch terminals, standard motor ratings, and NEMA 4 enclosures.
Variable Speed Positioning System (VSPS)
Programmable controller for motorized jacks, allowing up to ten stopping positions, with features like speed control and emergency stop button.
Linear Actuators
Control options for linear actuators with NEMA 12 enclosures and rocker-type contact switches.
Common System Arrangements
Joyce jacks and ComDRIVEs can be used in various arrangements for synchronized lifting speeds and uniform load distribution.

Options PROTECTIVE BOOTS For Translating and Keyed Design Machine Screw Jacks Joyce boots protect the screw from dust, dirt, and help maintain proper lubrication. Standard boots, fabricated from neoprene-coated nylon, also guard against moisture and corrosive contaminants. For travel distances up to 24 inches, boots are designed in 3 inches increments; for travel distances over 24 inches boots are designed for the specific travel distance (rise). Adding protective boots may increase the closed height of the jack depending on the end condition and the amount of travel (rise) required. For instance,...

Options TRUNNION MOUNTS Options – Trunnion Mounting Adapters Trunnion adapter plates bolt to the base of 2-ton through 20-ton jacks. They include precision bores for trunnion pins. These are frequently used in installations where a single* jack moves through an arc during operation. This jack is often configured with a motor mount or as a ComDRIVE®. Design Information The customer supplied trunnion pins should be ground to the “D” diameter shown in the table below. These pins should be made of steel with hardness greater than 30 HRC, a yield strength greater than 60,000 psi and be supported to...

OPTIONS Geared Potentiometers Joyce geared potentiometers are ideal for precise positioning applications. Using a 10-turn potentiometer, a signal is provided as either a change in resistance or current (when supplied with a 4-20 mA instrument transformer), which is proportional to the actual position of the screw. Geared potentiometers are commonly needed when PLCs or computers control jacks. Geared potentiometers are available on wormgear design jacks of 2-ton to 150-ton capacity. They include a slip clutch to prevent damage due to over-rotation but should always be inspected during installation...
