Joyce/Dayton Expands Ball Screw Jack Line
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DAYTON, Ohio (May 13, 2002) – Joyce/Dayton Corporation today announced the recent addition of four sizes of ball screw jacks to its standard line of products.
The expansion includes a second model of the company’s 10-ton unit, along with the addition of a 20-ton unit, a 30-ton unit and a 50-ton unit.
Joyce/Dayton ball screw jacks offer high efficiency with up to two-thirds less input torque required to move a load than similarly rated machine screw jacks. Unlike ordinary ball screw jacks, Joyce/Dayton’s unique Timken bearing arrangement fully captures the gear, giving superior radial support for consistent work gear alignment, increased thrust capacity, longer gear life and reduced screw oscillation.
The redesigned 10-ton ball screw jack has a longer life ball nut and screw than the previous model. The new 10-ton ball screw jack provides superior column length and ballnut life when compared to the industry’s typical 10-ton ball screw jack. These accomplishments are achieved thanks to a 2” diameter ball screw design, whereas the industry’s typical 10-ton ball screw jack utilizes a 1.5” diameter ball screw.
Whether the application requires leveling log homes to lifting a ship out of dry-dock, Joyce/Dayton has the engineering experience and expertise to precisely lift and position loads from 250 pounds to 250 tons. Founded in 1873 and headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, Joyce products are used in a wide variety of industries worldwide, including satellite tracking, food processing, entertainment, metalworking and metal processing, and many others.
