Engineers and designers frequently use screw jacks in the design of lifting and positioning equipment. They know that mechanical jacks offer reliable lifting and holding options that can be easily incorporated into their systems.
Screw jacks that are properly selected and maintained will reliably lift, position, support or hold industrial loads for years. Incorporating them into mechanized applications is a fairly simple matter once jack designs are understood.
The basic components of machine screw jacks are lifting screw, gear set, and thrust bearing.
Joyce/Dayton is pleased to announce JAX® Online, a new web-based linear motion design software application. Intuitive and easy to use, JAX Online software is the fastest way to specify the right jacks and components for ideal lifting and linear motion systems. Because it is web-based, users can access the program from any computer with an internet connection and a modern web browser.
Each year Joyce/Dayton Corp. provides solar tracking jacks to a growing number of commercial and utility scale installations. Joyce products deliver proven reliability with low maintenance requirements and are easy to install.
Semigood Design, LLC approached Joyce/Dayton with a concept for a unique conference room table that combined both bold and functional handcrafted elements. Inspired by the customer’s ingenious concept, Joyce engineers offered a creative, mechanically sound solution. The resulting lifting system was a perfect fit in both form and function.
