Screw Jacks: A Rugged, Flexible Solution for Heavy Duty Linear Motion
Delivering high reliability and life expectancy under varying operating conditions, Thomson and Nook screw jacks are optimal for applications that require high speed, vibration, shock loading, precise positioning requirements and high torsional loads. In this video, learn what goes into making our high-quality screw jacks and how they can be your next linear motion solution.
How to Choose the Right Screw Jack for Your High-Load Applications
With the capability of handling loads up to 100 tons, screw jacks have made a name for themselves when it comes to designing for high-load, linear motion applications. However, determining whether a machine screw jack or ball screw jack is the right fit can be difficult. Each delivers key benefits depending on the application parameters.
This webinar will examine key design considerations as they apply to both screw jack types to help you better and more quickly determine which is more ideal for your application.
• The key features and benefits of machine and ball screw jacks.
• The major differences between these two types of screw jacks.
• The application parameters designers need to consider when choosing between machine and ball screw jacks.
• How to choose the right screw jack for your linear motion designs.

Screw Jacks and Environmental Applications
Nook screw jacks offer the ability to lift, position, hold and support loads in a variety of industrial applications. These jacks will provide excellent performance and reliability in the average indoor industrial facility with a dry environment and an operating temperature of 32oF (0oC) – 180oF (82oC). However, not all applications are in these ideal conditions. Nook offers many options to meet non-ideal conditions.
