Linipower Jack
Words

Q1 | Is the Linipower Jack environmentally friendly? | |||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A1 | Although it depends on the usage conditions and calculation criteria, the Lini Power Jacks operate using about one-third of the power when compared with typical hydraulic type jacks. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q2 | Are the products compliant with the RoHS directive? | |||||||||||||||||||
A2 | With some exceptions of jacks with a motor, we can provide products that conform to the RoHS Directive. Make an inquiry with us for details. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q3 | What is a rotation prevention mechanism? | |||||||||||||||||||
A3 | With a standard model, when the shaft end has been fastened or a rotation receiving mechanism is provided, the screw shaft does not rotate during lifting and lowering. If the screw shaft rotates, lifting and lowering is disabled, so that you need to prevent the rotation of the screw shaft of the jack. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q4 | What is the Travel Nut Package? | |||||||||||||||||||
A4 | In the standard package and the rod rotation-prevention package, the screw shaft moves up and down by rotating the nut. On the other hand, the mechanism of the travel nut package works to move the nut up and down by rotating the screw shaft. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q5 | What is the operating temperature for the Linipower Jack? | |||||||||||||||||||
A5 | The Linipower jack can operate in a state in which the jack surface temperature is in the range of -15 to 80℃. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q6 | Can you make the Linipower Jack for outdoor use? | |||||||||||||||||||
A6 | We can provide some measures to adapt it for outdoor use, such as painting or sealing. In an environment where water splashes directly on the equipment, you need to furnish a cover or similar protection. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q7 | Can I use mechanical stops? | |||||||||||||||||||
A7 | When a mechanical stop is applied to ordinary motor drives, the stop creates shock, which can result in product breakdown. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q8 | Can we use a travel nut type with its end being free? | |||||||||||||||||||
A8 | Yes, you can. Since, however, the allowable buckling load and allowable input rotation speed will be limited, pay due attention while using the equipment. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q9 | When we use two Linipower Jacks in conjunction, do they need a rotation prevention mechanism? | |||||||||||||||||||
A9 | No, they don't need it. Note, however, that you must provide guides when using multiple jacks in conjunction. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q10 | Can the Linipower Jack handle being used laterally? | |||||||||||||||||||
A10 | Yes, the Linipower Jack can be used for horizontal applications. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q11 | What are the points to be careful about when installing Linipower Jacks for interlocking operation? | |||||||||||||||||||
A11 | Multiple Lini Power Jacks are used in this application, so please take due care in leveling the jacks and ensuring their alignment, specifically for the jacks' core height and input shaft height. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q12 | Is the Linipower Jack capable of oscillation? | |||||||||||||||||||
A12 | Linipower Jack can provide oscillation by using the I-shaped fitting for the end part and mounting it with a clevis mounting adapter or trunnion bracket (optional). | |||||||||||||||||||
Q13 | Under what circumstances is clevis mounting on both ends used? | |||||||||||||||||||
A13 | Clevis mounting on both ends is the best installation to employ for oscillation operation. Use for oscillation operations. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q14 | Is it possible to use the JWB model (ball screw type) with a percentage duty cycle of 30% ED or higher? | |||||||||||||||||||
A14 | We can propose a relevant product solution once we have a full understanding of the environment in which you are intending to use our products. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q15 | Does Tsubaki provide one-side cutting or shaft end tapping on the input shaft, and plating, etc.? | |||||||||||||||||||
A15 | We can provide customized shafts as a special order. We have a wide variety of experience in delivering numerous customized products. Contact us for specific information. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q16 | What is the backlash like for the input shaft? | |||||||||||||||||||
A16 | The backlash at the input shaft is caused by the clearance of screws and worm gears. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q17 | Do you ship the jack in the state in which a motor or geared motor has been attached to its input shaft? | |||||||||||||||||||
A17 | Models with a motor or geared motor are optionally available for the JWM (trapezoidal screw type), JWB (ball screw type), and JWH (high lead ball screw type). | |||||||||||||||||||
Q18 | Is it possible to turn the jack input shaft with a manual handle? | |||||||||||||||||||
A18 | A manual handle is offered as an option. It can be used with a trapezoidal screw type that has a self-locking function. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q19 | We want to use the jack with a servomotor attached. Are there any precautions we should take? | |||||||||||||||||||
A19 | A servomotor is suitable for the applications which require high speed/high frequency operation. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q20 | Can an oil lubrication package be made upon request? | |||||||||||||||||||
A20 | We can provide this as a special order. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q21 | How often do I need to replace the grease in the reducer? | |||||||||||||||||||
A21 | For frame sizes 025 and over, standard greasing intervals are set as follows according to the frequency of daily use.
| |||||||||||||||||||
Q22 | How do I replace the grease in the reducer? | |||||||||||||||||||
A22 | Remove the hexagonal socket plug and pour in grease from the grease nipple until the grease overflows from the hexagon socket plug hole. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q23 | Does the JWM model (trapezoidal screw type) provide for self-locking? | |||||||||||||||||||
A23 | The JWM model trapezoidal screw type) has self-locking properties in theory, but it may not work when there is vibration or shock. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q24 | What happens when the stroke range is exceeded? | |||||||||||||||||||
A24 | With the standard specifications of the JWB (ball screw type) and JWH (high lead ball screw type), the screw is equipped with a stopper so that it does not fall off. With the JWM (trapezoidal screw type), however, the screw may possibly fall off. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q25 | What are the advantages of the JWH (high lead ball screw type)? | |||||||||||||||||||
A25 | The screw lead is larger than the normal JWB models (ball screw type) and is suitable for high-speed operation. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q26 | Does the screw of the Linipower Jack accept side load? | |||||||||||||||||||
A26 | The JWB (ball screw type) cannot accept side load. The JWM (trapezoidal screw type) can withstand side load to a certain degree as long as it is stationary. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q27 | Why is the bellows design for the JWH model (high lead ball screw type) a special package? | |||||||||||||||||||
A27 | The JWH model (high lead ball screw type) is intended for high-speed operation. An air hole is provided to quickly release the air from the bellows, which makes the model a special package. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q28 | Is there a standard bellows type for the Travel Nut Package? | |||||||||||||||||||
A28 | The Travel Nut Package features a structure in which the nut moves along the screw shaft. The travel stroke determines the length of the bellows, and the nut mounting direction determines the bellows' diameter. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q29 | The table-shaped end fitting are not able to be disassembled when trying to replace the bellows. What should I do? | |||||||||||||||||||
A29 | The table-shaped end fitting is fixed until screw end with glue. | |||||||||||||||||||
Q30 | Is it possible to provide an inlet on the Jack mounting surface, for example, to make it easier to install the Jack? | |||||||||||||||||||
A30 | Inlet can also be manufactured. The inlet is a convex dimensional section with tolerances, suitable for improving reproducibility and installation accuracy when equipment needs to be disassembled and reassembled. Inlet diameter and dimensional tolerances are available to meet customer requirements, please contact us. |
