AI Overview
A screw jack's velocity ratio, or mechanical advantage, is calculated by dividing the distance moved by the effort (handle circumference) by the distance the load moves (pitch) in one revolution, typically expressed as
𝑉𝑅
=2𝜋𝑅𝑝
. For a 25-ton jack, this enables heavy lifting with minimal input effort. 
Key Screw Jack Ratios and Calculations 
  • Velocity Ratio Formula:
    𝑉𝑅
    =2𝜋×Length of Handle (R)Pitch of Screw (p)
    .
  • Worm Gear Ratios: For mechanical screw jacks, common gear ratios range between 20:1 and 32:1, which are often self-locking.
  • High vs. Low Ratios: Higher ratios (e.g., 30:1) provide higher load capacity and precision but slower movement. Lower ratios offer faster movement for lighter loads.
  • Travel Rate: Standard gear ratios often produce 1mm of travel per revolution of the input shaft.
  • Efficiency: Machine screw jacks generally operate around 25% efficiency due to friction, while ball screw jacks can achieve 35%. 
Common Examples 
  • JET 25-Ton Screw Jack (SJ-25T): Uses a 13/16-inch turning bar for operation and is designed to eliminate creep under heavy loads.
  • Unimec TP-204 Screw Jack: Features a 30:1 gear ratio for precise lifting applications. 
The pitch (distance between threads) and the radius of the lever arm are the primary determinants of the mechanical advantage in manual screw jacks.
