Find out more about how to correctly select a complete part number of JTB series ball screw jacks?
According to the following sample part number with corresponding additional informaton about JTB series ball screw jacks designs, configurations, end conditions, worm shaft codes and accessories.

Example Order Code: JTB-5T - US - 500 - H - II - C - PP
1. Models
JTB-1T, JTB-2.5T, JTB-5T, JTB-10T, JTB-15T, JTB-20T, JTB-25T, JTB-35T.
Note: click your required model web pages directly, there are specifications tables and assembly drawings for your reference.
2. Configuration and Designs
US = Upright Translating Screw Design;
IS = Inverted Translating Screw Design
UK = Upright Anti-rotation Screw Design;
IK = Inverted Anti-rotation Screw Design
UR = Upright Rotating Screw Design;
IR = Inverted Rotating Screw Design
Note: The ball screw of a translating screw design jack must be attached to the load (guided) which prevents the ball screw from rotating. Add linear guides, rails or rolls are recommended.
Note: If your application involves a load which is unattached, unguided or the load is free to rotate and not translate, then a anti-rotation screw design jack are required to prevent ball screw rotation. For ball screw jack with anti-rotation device which are supplied with a square nut on the lifting ball screw's end, inside a square cover pipe.
3. Travel Length
There are no standard travel length and all JTB series ball screw jacks travel length are built with customers required.
Note: If compressive loads, must consider the lead screw permissible buckling load.
4. Gear RatiosEach JTB series ball screw jacks in two worm gear ratios, H: high speed, L: slow speed

JTB-20T | 1/8 | 1.50 | 1/24 | 0.50 |
JTB-25T | 1/10.667 | 1.50 | 1/32 | 0.50 |
JTB-35T | 1/10.667 | 1.87 | 1/32 | 0.63 |
5. Screw End ConditionsStandard trapezoidal screw end conditions include
I=top plate (fixing flange),
II=clevis end (pivot bearing end),
III=plain end,
IV=threaded end,
VI=fork end,
VII=rod end, and no screw end with full threads lead screw.
6. Worm (Input Shaft) Codes & Motor Flange Input CodesA = Left side shaft
B = Right side shaft
C = Double input shaft
M1 = Left side shaft, Right side motor flange
M2 = Right side motor flange
M3 = Right side shaft, Left side motor flange
M4 = Left side motor flange
Note: Motor flange input types, if need to purchase the motor from us, your purchase orders must be marked. Otherwise, we only sale screw jack with motor flange.
