AI Overview
A screw jack is a mechanical device that converts rotational motion (torque) into linear motion (lifting/pushing force) using a threaded screw and nut mechanism, based on the principle of an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. It offers high mechanical advantage for lifting heavy loads (like vehicles) with minimal effort.
