Product catalog summary

Overview

This document provides comprehensive technical guidelines and specifications for selecting, calculating, and operating screw jacks, focusing primarily on types J2G, J3GH, and the JFB series. It covers selection procedures, key formulas, performance data, dimensional details, operational limits, and additional design considerations to ensure safe and efficient use.

1. Selection Procedure

  • Initial Size Selection: Choose a screw jack size based on standard capacity to meet the lifting load.
  • Input Shaft Speed Calculation: Assume worm reduction ratio "H" and calculate input shaft speed (rpm) from the lifting speed.
  • Torque Calculation: Determine input shaft torque from the lifting load using specified coefficients.
  • Manual Operation Consideration: Calculate hand wheel radius if manual operation is intended.
  • Power Requirement: Compute required power per jack from torque and rpm.
  • Verification: Check against ball screw jack type J-B and consider worm reduction ratio "L" for low speed or fine adjustment needs.
  • Limit Checks: Confirm maximum allowable input shaft rpm, power per jack, and buckling load are not exceeded; if exceeded, select a different size.

2. Key Formulas and Parameters

  • Input Shaft Speed (n): n = (V / C) × 1000, where V = lifting speed (mm/min), C = speed coefficient (e.g., 1.33).
  • Input Shaft Torque (T): T = a × W + b, where W = lifting load (kN), a = torque coefficient (e.g., 0.99), b = no-load torque (e.g., 2 N·m).
  • Required Power (P): P = (n × T) / 9550 (kW).

3. Example Calculation

  • For a 30 kN load and 1000 mm/min lifting speed:
  • Input shaft speed: 751.9 min⁻¹
  • Input shaft torque: 31.7 N·m
  • Required power: 2.5 kW
  • Since J2G max power is 2.3 kW (insufficient), J3GH with 3.1 kW max power is selected.

4. Specifications and Performance Data

  • Capacity ranges from 10 to 1000 kN across size numbers J0G to J7A.
  • Lifting screw diameters and leads vary by model.
  • Worm gear ratios (H and L) and efficiencies are specified.
  • Maximum allowable power per jack and input shaft speeds are defined.
  • Torque coefficients and no-load torque values are provided.
  • Allowable buckling and overhang loads are detailed.
  • Approximate weights and grease charging quantities are included.

5. Design and Operational Notes

  • Oil lubrication is mandatory for input speeds ≥ 1000 min⁻¹.
  • Allowable overhang load is calculated via a specific formula (not detailed).
  • Self-locking may fail under impact or vibration; brakes are recommended in such cases.
  • Standard service temperature ranges: -15 to +80°C (J0G to JGA), -15 to +100°C (J4A to J7A); custom options available.
  • Do not operate jacks outside specified temperature ranges due to unlocked lifting screw ends.
  • Special accuracy or grade requirements require consultation.

6. Dimensional Data

  • Detailed tables provide stroke lengths, directions, grease fitting locations, hand wheel and shaft dimensions, thread sizes, and depths for various sizes and types.

7. Additional Notes

  • Allowable side forces for lifting and suspending jacks are specified.
  • Graphs (not included) assist in selecting size numbers based on load and screw speed.
  • Prevent key torque and input shaft allowable overhang loads are provided for safety and design.

8. Allowable Buckling Load and Load Capacities (JFB Series)

  • Allowable buckling loads range from 0.5 kN to 1000 kN depending on jack size.
  • Load capacities increase progressively from J0B to J7B models (17.5 kN to 123.7 kN).

9. Mechanical Properties and Elasticity

  • Modulus of longitudinal elasticity: 2.1×105 N/mm².
  • Load ratings and mechanical properties are provided for various jack sizes.

10. Stroke and Travel Distance

  • Stroke lengths vary from 100 mm to over 500 mm depending on model.
  • Expected travel distance is calculated considering stroke, daily cycles, annual usage, and service life for maintenance planning.

11. Dimensional Data and Symbols

  • Comprehensive dimensional tables include diameters, lengths, bolt sizes, and mounting dimensions.
  • Symbols such as A, AA, L, LH, and T series correspond to specific measurements critical for installation.

12. Operational Limits and Recommendations

  • Maximum rotational speed: 1,800 min⁻¹ for high-speed applications.
  • Stroke lengths over 500 mm require manufacturer consultation.
  • Corrosion resistance options include stainless steel (SUS 304) lifting screws.
  • Mounting conditions under compressive loads and lateral load considerations are detailed.

13. Geared Limit Switch Setting Procedure

  • Stepwise instructions for setting geared limit switches: cover removal, stopper adjustment, button locking, alignment verification, and operational testing.

14. Braking Torque Calculations

  • Formulas and parameters for calculating total braking torque on motor shaft, considering load torque, inertia, gear ratios, and stopping time.
  • Essential for selecting appropriate motor and brake systems.

15. Main Specifications of Related Components

  • Details on ball screws, racks, and worm gears including diameters, leads, efficiencies, maximum power, and approximate masses.
  • Supports component selection matching load and speed requirements.

Screw jack ball-2

Screw Jack Self-locking characteristic: Since it has a self-locking function due to the adoption of trapezoidal thread of an optimum lead, this screw jack does not need any braking mechanism in the driving shaft system. Fixed quantity operating characteristic: This screw jack permits fixed quantity operation because the adoption of high-accuracy worm and screw makes it possible to obtain a lifting screw lead proportionated to the amount of rotation of the input shaft. Anti-backlash type is also available for uses in which hysteresis must be avoided. Interlocking characteristic: Since the input...

Screw jack An ordinary screw jack requires a space more than double its stroke, as its lifting screw moves up and down. If the space is limited and if the full stroke is required, we recommend this traveling nut type screw jack. Since the lifting screw is rotated and the nut fixed to the object to be lifted travels back and forth on the lifting screw, this screw jack is called the traveling nut type. The lifting screw end is provided with a spherically finished part so that the load can be lifted stably without using any guide even in the case of Although a radial bearing is used to support the...
