Product catalog summary
Introduction
Weingrill has been manufacturing mechanical screw jacks for over 40 years, providing reliable solutions for precise load positioning in various industrial applications. The company has been ISO 9001 certified since 1997. This document offers guidance on selecting the appropriate screw jack based on application requirements.
Sizes and Characteristics
Screw jacks are available in capacities from 5 to 1500 kN, with various types and models offering a wide range of ratios and screw pitches. Customization is available to meet specific needs.
Principles of Operation
Screw jacks operate using a worm gear and screw system. The worm screw drives the worm gear, supported by bearings, causing the work screw to translate or rotate, depending on the jack type.
Types of Screw Jacks
  • Trapezoidal Screw Jack (TS): Made with high tensile materials, these jacks are irreversible and can support loads without additional locking systems.
  • Ball Screw Jack (BS): Features a ball nut for high efficiency, with a work screw made of hardened steel.
  • Stainless Steel Screw Jack (X): Suitable for corrosive environments, with special sealing to prevent contamination.
  • Two Pinion Bevel Gears Jack (CC): Uses a bevel gear system for high-speed applications, requiring higher power ratings.
Configurations
Screw jacks can be configured based on application needs:
  • Base/Oscillating: For straight or arc movements.
  • Upright/Inverted: Based on the direction of the work screw.
  • Translating Screw (VT): The work screw moves axially.
  • Rotating Screw (VR): The work screw rotates, moving an external nut.
Additional Features
Screw jacks can be equipped with anti-backlash and anti-rotation devices, and are available in various configurations such as with bases or oscillating designs. They can be driven manually or by motors, and can be combined with hydraulic cylinders for specialized applications.
Specifications and Types of Screw Jacks
1. Oscillating Jacks: Recommended for loads moving along an arc, featuring built-in clevis.
2. Upright/Inverted Units: Differ based on the work screw's extension relative to the base.
3. Translating Screw (VT): The work screw moves axially through the jack, requiring rotational constraints.
4. Rotating Screw (VR): The work screw rotates, moving a lead nut, with load applied to the nut.
Mechanical Screw Jacks Features
- Work Screw: Options include trapezoidal or ball screws, with customizable dimensions and anti-rotation devices.
- Worm Screw: Available in various extensions with mechanical protection.
- Accessories: Include motor systems, couplings, limit switches, and manual operation tools.
Operation and Storage
- Can be operated manually or motorized, individually or in groups, ensuring synchronized movement.
- Must be protected from dust and corrosive environments during storage, with periodic lubrication and rotation.
Installation Guidelines
- Ensure structural support and alignment to avoid lateral loads and uneven stress.
- Use flexible couplings for alignment errors and maintain synchronization.
- Protect work screws in dusty or wet environments.
Start-Up Procedures
- Verify lubrication and absence of foreign objects.
- Conduct manual idle runs before motor operation to check functionality.
- Avoid continuous testing to prevent overheating.
Lubrication and Maintenance
- Pre-lubricated with grease nipples for refilling.
- Monthly lubrication for normal use, weekly for high-duty operations.
- Regular inspection and cleaning recommended every 500 hours of operation.
Jack Selection Criteria
- Based on load capacity (Fmax) and horsepower, ensuring capacity exceeds required load.
- Consider structural constraints and heat dissipation capabilities.
- Maximum recommended speed is 500 rpm, with adjustments for continuous service.
Specifications and Guidelines
  • Screw jacks are designed for thrust only and require an external guidance system for other loads.
  • For anti-backlash screw jacks, reduce maximum load capacity to 90%.
  • For continuous cycles, reduce maximum load capacity to 20%.
  • Recommended maximum input speed is 500 rpm, with intermittent operation allowing up to 1500 rpm at reduced load capacity.
  • High-frequency duty cycles should not exceed 10 minutes per hour to prevent overheating and reduce gearbox life.
Torque and Power Calculation
  • Formulas provided for calculating input torque and power based on load, screw pitch, and efficiency.
  • Ensure calculated torque is below the maximum allowable torque.
Efficiency Considerations
  • Static and dynamic efficiencies are provided, with reductions for anti-backlash and anti-rotation devices.
Multiple Screw Jack Arrangements
  • Efficiency decreases with more jacks in the system; efficiency values are provided for different numbers of jacks.
Overloads and Safety Factors
  • Overload capacity is 10% for dynamic and 25% for static loads.
  • Safety factors are specified for different load types.
Example Calculation
  • Detailed example provided for selecting a screw jack based on load, speed, and efficiency requirements.
Additional Considerations
  • Self-locking capabilities, mechanical stops, and stroke limitations are discussed.
  • Guidance on handling side loads and critical work screw lengths is provided.

Mechanical Screw Jacks

Specifications
Mechanical screw jacks are designed for use in aggressive or dusty environments. They require protection for the work screw to maintain proper lubrication and prevent contamination. Neoprene bellow boots and spiral springs are used for protection against dust, moisture, and corrosive agents.
Procedures
For environments with dust and moisture, neoprene bellow boots are recommended. For protection against corrosive agents, spiral springs made of standard or stainless steel are used. The use of these protections may alter the dimensions of the screw jack compared to standard models.
Standards and Recommendations
Consult the Weingrill technical department for specific information regarding the dimensions and execution of the screw jacks. Recommended lubrication is with oil type EP220 or equivalent.
Mitre Gear Boxes
These are used in conjunction with couplings and connecting shafts for multiple jack arrangements. They come in three or four-way units with torque capacities up to 430 Nm and a gear ratio of 1:1. Options include stainless steel bodies and external parts.
Micro Screw Jacks
