What is the Allowable Duty Cycle of a Worm Gear Screw Jack ?
Because of the efficiency of conventional metric and imperial (inch) worm gear screw jacks, the duty cycle is intermittent at rated load. At reduced loading, the duty cycle may be increased. The high performance S-Series metric screw jacks have higher thermal efficiencies due to their design allowing generally 50% higher duty cycles than conventional worm gear screw jacks.

Because of the efficiency of conventional metric and imperial worm gear screw jacks, the duty cycle is intermittent at rated load. At reduced loading, the duty cycle may be increased. The high duty “Sym-metric” screw jacks have higher thermal efficiencies due to their design allowing generally 50% higher duty cycles than conventional style screw jacks.
