Bevel Gear Jacks

Joyce Bevel Gear® Jacks, available in 7.5-ton to 100-ton static capacities, offer higher efficiency and greater speed than other mechanical screw jacks. As an added benefit, bevel gear jacks also act as miter boxes, making them an ideal choice for multi-jack systems. As many as three output shafts may be specified for mounting motors, limit switches, readout devices and other accessories. Bevel gear jacks with single lead screws (S series) provide the benefits of a self-locking screw, and bevel gear jacks with double lead screws (D series) offer even greater travel speed.

Important Note: *Not self-locking, may lower under load. Brake motors or external locking systems are recommended.
D: Double Lead Screws.
S: Single Lead Screws. These jacks are self-locking.
*W: Load in Pounds.
Pinion Torque: The torque required to continuously raise a given load.
Screw Torque: The torque required to resist screw rotation (translating jack design) and traveling nut rotation (keyed for traveling nut design).
Lead: The distance traveled axially in one rotation of the lifting screw.
Pitch: The distance from a point on the screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread, measured axially.
†: Cooling time based on time to cool from 200°F to 70°F (ambient).
