“Without Jacks, They Were Sitting Ducks”

The time was 1941. It was a much different time, but Joyce was there to help when duty called. And the nation called for jacks.

Joyce supported the allied efforts by designing and producing a wide variety of jacks. While typically behind the scenes and unnoticed, their contributions were vital.

Take a look back at the many roles that Joyce jacks played in World War II.

Engineers and designers frequently use screw jacks in the design of lifting and positioning equipment. They know that mechanical jacks offer reliable lifting and holding options that can be easily incorporated into their systems.

Screw jacks that are properly selected and maintained will reliably lift, position, support or hold industrial loads for years. Incorporating them into mechanized applications is a fairly simple matter once jack designs are understood.

The basic components of machine screw jacks are lifting screw, gear set, and thrust bearing.

Joyce/Dayton is pleased to announce JAX® Online, a new web-based linear motion design software application. Intuitive and easy to use, JAX Online software is the fastest way to specify the right jacks and components for ideal lifting and linear motion systems. Because it is web-based, users can access the program from any computer with an internet connection and a modern web browser.
