About Bevel Ball Jacks

Joyce Bevel Ball Actuators (BB), available in 7.5-ton to 100-ton static capacities, are designed for near-continuous duty operation. These are Joyce’s fastest jacks, able to attain travel speeds of 48.6 feet per minute. Available in Translating and KFTN designs, bevel ball actuators act as miter boxes, making them an ideal choice for multi-jack systems. As many as three output shafts may be specified for mounting motors, limit switches, readout devices and other accessories.

  • Higher speeds and less heat generation than other mechanical actuators
  • Require a brake or other external locking device to hold position
  • More precise positioning and repeatability than hydraulic cylinders
  • Fully predictable J-10 ball nut life expectancy
  • Right hand screws standard (left hand screw available)
  • Threaded end conditions standard (load pad, clevis, and plain end condition available)
  • Protective boots and other options are available

Important Note: *Not self-locking, may lower under load. Brake motors or external locking systems are recommended.
D: Double Lead Screws.
S: Single Lead Screws. These jacks are self-locking.
*W: Load in Pounds.
Pinion Torque: The torque required to continuously raise a given load.
Screw Torque: The torque required to resist screw rotation (translating jack design) and traveling nut rotation (keyed for traveling nut design).
Lead: The distance traveled axially in one rotation of the lifting screw.
Pitch: The distance from a point on the screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread, measured axially.
†: Cooling time based on time to cool from 200°F to 70°F (ambient).
