innovation is my passion

a jackscrew, or screw jack, is a type of jack that is operated by turning a leadscrew. it is commonly used to lift moderately heavyweights, such as vehicles; to raise and lower the horizontal stabilizers of aircraft, and as adjustable supports for heavy loads
a screw jack consists of a heavy-duty vertical screw with a load table mounted on its top, which screws into a threaded hole in a stationary support frame with a wide base resting on the ground. a rotating collar on the head of the screw has holes into which the handle, a metal bar, fits. when the handle is turned clockwise, the screw moves further out of the base, lifting the load resting on the load table. in order to support large load forces, the screw usually has either square threads or buttress threads.
