Screw jacks from Duff-Norton are used to lift, position (push, pull, tilt and roll) and support a wide range of loads. They are ideal for plastics machinery, beverage bottling systems, aircraft assembly and paper manufacturing. Screw jacks range in size from mini screw jacks that can support up to 1000 pounds to acme screw jacks that can support up to 350 tonnes and everything in between.
It is critical to mount the actuator to avoid side loading and eccentric loading. A clevis mount actuator should be able to pivot freely on its clevis pins. There should be no brackets or supports restraining the actuator housing or outer tube. The actuator should be mounted so that the load is applied along the longitudinal axis of the translating tube, thereby improving the actuator's performance and life.
