Metric Screw Jacks

Joyce metric screw jacks, series MWJ, are specifically designed for applications that must be fully metric. Both upright and inverted configurations operate at full capacity whether the load is in tension or compression. These jacks are commonly used in OEM machinery manufactured in the U.S. and shipped to other countries. They are fully interchangeable with several European products.

  • Self-locking metric (trapezoidal) lifting screws
  • Fully metric mounting hole locations, diameters, and fasteners
  • Alloy steel input shafts
  • Aluminum bronze wormgears and Traveling nuts
  • Tapered roller or ball thrust bearings provide rugged reliability
  • Protective boots available
  • Anti-backlash devices available
  • Joyce/Dayton can customize to your specifications
  • Custom finishes available

*W: Load in kN.
Tare Torque: Initial torque to overcome seal and normal assembly drag. This value must be added to starting torque or operating torque values.
Starting Torque: Torque value required to start moving a given load (dissipates to operating torque values once the load begins moving).
Operating Torque: Torque required to continuously raise a given load at the input RPM listed. Note: If your actual input RPM is 20% higher or lower than the listed RPM, please refer to our JAX program to determine actual torque values at your RPM.
Screw Torque: Torque required to resist screw rotation (Translating Design Jacks) and traveling nut rotation (Keyed for Traveling Nut Design Jack).
Lead: The distance traveled axially in one rotation of the lifting screw.
Pitch: The distance from a point on a screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread measured axially.
