Compact Machine Screw Jack for Medium-Duty Tank Applications

Q: What load capacity does this compact screw jack offer?
A: This machine screw jack model is designed for medium-duty tasks, with standard capacities from 5 tons to 20 tons per unit. It is perfectly suited for smaller process tanks, mixing vessels, or for use in multiple-point arrangements.

Q: How high can it lift a tank?
A: It offers a standard travel/stroke of up to 2800 mm. Its compact design is optimized for applications where space is limited but reliable lifting force is still required.

Q: What is it made from?
A: The central screw is precision-machined from high-strength carbon steel. The worm gear and worm wheel are typically made from hardened steel or bronze for smooth operation and wear resistance. The housing is a robust cast iron design.

Q: What are its defining features?
A: Its main features include:

• Compact and Efficient Design: Saves space while delivering powerful performance.

• Motorized Operation: Can be easily equipped with standard industrial gear motors for powered lifting.

• High Efficiency: The machine screw design offers better efficiency compared to trapezoidal screws, suitable for more frequent use.

• Multiple Mounting Options: Available with top clevis, plain top, or keyed base for flexible installation.

Q: Why choose this jack for tank work?
A: The key advantages are its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and versatility. It provides a reliable and straightforward mechanical lifting solution for a wide range of medium-capacity applications without the complexity of hydraulic systems. Its compact size allows it to fit into tight spaces under tank lugs or supports.

Q: Where is it commonly used?
A: Common applications include:

• Positioning and installing medium-sized chemical or water treatment tanks.

• Adjusting the height of tanks during assembly line production.

• Performing maintenance on smaller vessels by lifting them to replace supports, pads, or valves.
