250 lbs. Machine Screw Jacks

WJ250

Joyce WJ250 miniature wormgear machine screw jacks with 5:1 gear set ratios lift and precisely position up to 250 pounds. Upright or inverted, these self-locking jacks operate at full capacity in tension or compression and are available in Translating and KFTN designs.

  • 5/8” diameter lifting screw
  • Standard lead, 0.125” Stub Acme
  • Screw material – 304 Stainless Steel 
  • Self-locking
  • Hand wheels are available for manual operation

These jacks can be attached to small foot mounted motors with Couplings for powered operation.

When a motor mount is needed consider Integrated Actuators, which include a 56C motor mount on the actuator housing.

Motor for Systems and Direct Drives

  • All standard motors are 3-phase, 208-230/460 VAC or 230/460 VAC. Other motor options are available. Specify the appropriate motor size from the chart on the right.
  • Refer to the "Additional Options" chart on the preceding page as needed.
  • Brake motors (M2) are recommended for jacks that are not self-locking, and jacks with double lead screws.
  • If the motor frequency will be varied to provide a "soft" start an inverter duty motor may be required.

Note: Optional hand wheels are available but, due to the housing design, it is not possible to mount a motor, encoder, potentiometer, or counter directly to the jack housing. When a motor mount is needed consider Integrated Actuators, which include a 56C motor mount on the actuator housing.

*W: Load in pounds.
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 Jacks).
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.
