SWL
SWL worm gear screw jacks
SWL jacks combine a worm gear and a trapezoidal screw in one compact unit for lifting, lowering, pushing and precise positioning. Capacities range from 0.5 to 100 t (5–1000 kN) with two ratios: normal (P) and slow (M). They are driven by a motor, another power source or by hand, singly or in groups.
- Rated load
- 5–1000 kN (0.5–100 t): 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 50, 100 t
- Screw
- trapezoidal, Tr16×4 to Tr160×23
- Ratio P (normal)
- 6:1 to 14.5:1
- Ratio M (slow)
- 22:1 to 36:1
- Lift per worm revolution
- P: 0.364–1.6 mm; M: 0.182–0.638 mm
- Max allowable power
- 0.37–28.5 kW (at 20 °C, 20 %/h duty, worm 1500 r/min)
- Total efficiency
- P: 13–23 %; M: 10–15 % (grease lubricated)
- Lifting speed
- lift per revolution × worm speed; SWL2.5 at 1500 r/min: 1.5 m/min (P), 0.375 m/min (M); per size see catalogue Tables 4–12
- Mass without screw
- 1.75–1010 kg
- Ambient temperature
- −20 to +80 °C
- Lubrication
- grease, top up in good time
Features
- Capacity 0.5–100 t in 11 sizes
- Two ratios: normal (P) and slow (M)
- Type 1: screw travels axially; Type 2: screw rotates, nut travels
- Assembly A (travel upwards) or B (travel downwards)
- Screw ends: cylindrical, flange, threaded, flat head
- Options: anti-rotation (F), protective cover (Z), direct motor mounting
- Generally self-locking at standstill
- Used in machinery, metallurgy, construction, water works, chemicals, medical equipment
