Winkel GmbH builds complete high load lifting units to meet customer's specific needs and Hepco is pleased to extend this service to UK companies.
For most applications where the load is unidirectional - such as lifting a platform for example - a standard screw jack is ideal.
The natural, axial play in its spindle's trapezoidal thread is not an issue.
However some applications such as roller adjustment do require backlash to be minimal and for this reason the antibacklash AB screw jack has been introduced.
This new addition to HepcoMotion ZIMM range was developed specifically for low duty applications where adjustment to play needs to be made under alternating loads.
It is therefore ideal for use in roller systems.
The method of adjustment is by a simple nut that is accessed by removing an aluminium cap.
The antibacklash AB screw jack is a simple, cost-effective solution that reduces design, assembly and production time.
The take-up of play on the drive spindle thread can be adjusted to almost zero. Request a free brochure from HepcoMotion ...
