Bevel Gear Screw Jacks

Design Tips

  1. A PV value must be calculated for each application. The continuous running time should never exceed the corresponding T value as derived from the Bevel Gear Jack Thermal Graphs for the following models:
    BG 150 BG 250
    BG 375 BG 450

  2. Data is calculated based on limiting the lifting nut temperature rise from 70° F to 200°F (100° below dropping point of the grease).
  3. Check single lead vs. double lead screws in each case. A double lead screw may be the appropriate choice, due to increased efficiency while offering the same performance characteristics.
  4. If using Bevel Gear jacks as an integral miter gear box, contact factory for horsepower and application data.
  5. Joyce Bevel Gear "S" series jacks are inherently self-locking to eliminate coasting and allow more accurate positioning. A brake is required for "D" series.
  6. Special jacks are available. Contact the factory for performance criteria.
  7. Bevel Gear series jacks are furnished with one shaft in position #2. Jacks may be ordered with up to 3 shafts located at any combination of position numbers 1, 2, or 3.
  8. The jack is designed for oil bath (EP-90 gear lubricant) or grease operation. The upper bearing is grease lubricated through a fitting on top of the jack, and the screw is grease lubricated by rubbing directly on the screw. If the jack base is mounted other than horizontally with the baseplate down, contact the factory for lubrication instructions. Contact Joyce for applicable lubrication specifications.
