At What Low Temperatures Can Worm Gear Screw Jacks Operate?

With the standard lubricant and materials of construction, the screw jacks are suitable for use at sustained temperatures of -20°C. Below -20°C, low temperature lubricant should be used. Also, at temperatures below -20°C, if there is any possibility of shock loading, special materials may be required due to notch sensitivity of the standard materials at lower temperatures. Power Jacks application engineers must be consulted in these instances for a recommendation.

Screw Jacks with standard material of construction and lubrication may be safely stored at temperatures as low as -55°C.
