Can Screw Jacks be built into Multiple System Arrangements ?
Perhaps the greatest single advantage of Power Jacks screw jacks is that they can be linked together mechanically, to lift and lower in unison. Typical arrangements involving the screw jacks, bevel gear boxes, motors, reducers, shafting and couplings are shown in application section of the web site and in the Design Guide PJLMPTDG-02 section 1.1.3.2.8. Typical mechanical system arrangements link 2, 4, 6 or 8 screw jacks together and are driven by one motor. As an alternative screw jacks can be individually driven by electric motors and with suitable feedback devices such as encoders be synchronised electronically by a control system.
