A screw jack is a mechanical device used to lift or lower heavy loads. Screw jacks are commonly used in the automotive sector to lift vehicles, but they are also used in various applications in industrial and construction areas.
The rotational movement of the screw causes the nut to move linearly. This enables the lifting or lowering of the connected load. Screw jacks have a self-locking feature; this prevents the screw from moving back by keeping it fixed when the load is lifted.
Screw jacks are preferred in applications that require durability and reliability. It is a safe and long-lasting solution, especially when used with fixed loads.
