Basic requirements for the operation of screw jacks
1. When the input speed is kept below 1800 rpm and the stroke is greater than 300 mm, the stability of the screw jack should be checked. 2. The input power of the screw jack under normal operating conditions should not exceed the upper limit. 3. When the actual load is above 25% (full load), the input torque is required. The torque is calculated as the load rate multiplied by the full load torque. Ambient temperature significantly affects the input power. 4. Ordinary screw jacks with large reduction ratios have a self-locking function, while those with small reduction ratios have uncertain self-locking. Brakes must be equipped in applications involving vibration. 5. To avoid lateral forces on the screw jack, guide rails and guiding devices can be considered to counteract lateral forces, or self-aligning screw jacks can be used.
