AI Overview
A screw jack is a mechanical device that converts rotational motion (torque) into linear motion (push-pull) to lift or position heavy loads using a screw thread mechanism. It acts as a lever and an inclined plane, where turning a handle or motor turns a screw, forcing a nut or the screw itself to move axially.
