Selection Procedure

1. Calculation of the correction load Ws

Considering the nature of the load, calculate the corrected load Ws by referring to Service factor (Table 1).

Corrected load Ws (kN) = Maximum load W (kN) × Service factor Sf

Table 1. Service factor Sf

Load Nature Usage example Service factor
Smooth operation without shock
Load inertia small
Valve opening and closing
Conveyor switching device
1.0~1.3
Operation with slight impact
Load inertia medium
Various moving devices
Various lifter lifting
1.3~1.5
Operation with large shocks and vibrations
Large load inertia
Transporting objects by cart, positioning and maintaining rolling rollers 1.5~3.0

Note: The above Service factor are general guidelines and should be determined taking into consideration the conditions of use.

2. Calculating the load W per jack

The load W per jack is calculated from the corrected load Ws. In the case of linked operation, refer to Multiple factor (Table 2) for calculation.

Load per jack W (kN) = Corrected load Ws (kN) Number of jacks used × Multiple factor fd

Table 2. Multiple factor fd

Number of linked units (units) 2 3 4 5~8
Multiple factor 0.95 0.9 0.85 0.8

3. Tentatively select the model number of Linispeed Jack

A model number with an allowable thrust that satisfies the load W per jack is tentatively selected.

The stroke should be selected with a margin of error in mind. The model number should be selected based on the mounting style and shaft arrangement.

Precautions

  • (1) Select a model number that allows for sufficient safety so that the working load (static and dynamic) and shock load do not exceed the allowable thrust.
  • (2) If you use the jack beyond its stroke, the jack may be damaged. Linispeed Jack is equipped with a retainer, but this is to prevent the screws from falling out during manual operation during installation.
  • (3) Do not stop the jack by hitting it against the ground under any circumstances. Doing so will cause serious damage to the inside of the jack.
  • (4) In the case of flange mounts, there are load directions that must be limited to 50% or less of the allowable thrust. Please see here for details.

4. Check expected travel distance

Check whether the expected travel distance is met. If the expected travel distance is longer, increase the frame number and recalculate.

Please refer to the details of life calculation (here).

5. Checking the buckling load

If a compressive load is applied, make sure that it is below the allowable buckling load (see here).

If the allowable value is exceeded, increase the size of the jack and recalculate.

6. Consideration of allowable input shaft overhang load

When attaching a belt or other item to the input shaft, make sure that it is within the allowable overhang load.

If the allowable value is exceeded, increase the jack frame number and reconsider.

7. Check the required input rotation speed

The required input rotation speed of the jack is calculated from the required screw shaft speed.

N = V ×R

N: Input rotation speed r/min

V: Screw shaft speed m/min

ℓ: Screw lead m

R: Worm speed ratio

Please refer to the product page for each specification item.

The allowable input speed is 3000 r/min.

Please make sure that the rotation speed is below this.

8. Check Percentage duty cycle

Check the percentage of operation time per cycle.

Check whether Percentage duty cycle %ED is within the allowable range.

Please see here for details.

%ED = Operating time for one cycle Operating time for one cycle + Rest time for one cycle x 100 (%)

The formula to calculate Percentage duty cycle %ED from the time cycle table is as follows:

%ED = t1 + t3 t1 + t2 + t3 + t4 ×100(%)

9. Check the required input torque

Calculate the required input torque.

When using a servo motor, select a model that satisfies the servo motor's allowable torque.

T = W×ℓ π×R×η + To

T: Required input torque N・m

W: Lifting load N

ℓ: Screw lead m

π: Pi 3.14

R: Worm speed ratio

η: Overall jack efficiency or starting efficiency Note)

To: No-load idling torque N・m

*For screw lead, worm speed ratio, overall efficiency, and no-load idling torque, please refer to Major Specifications page for each product. Please pay attention to the units of screw lead.

0.025m-->Example) 25mm ---> 0.025m

Note: Be sure to check the required input torque at startup using the startup efficiency.

10. Check the required input capacity

P = T×N 9550

T: Required input torque N・m

P: Required input capacity kW

N: Input rotation speed r/min

11. Check the input shaft torsional torque

The number of jacks that can be connected in the same line is limited by the shaft strength, so please refer to the allowable input shaft torque.

Example: When the jacks are arranged in a straight line as shown in the diagram below, the required input torque of two jacks is transmitted to the input shaft of the driving jack.
Check that the torque of these two units is below the allowable input shaft torque.

*Please be careful not to let the peak torque at startup exceed the allowable input shaft torque.

Required torque for jack A only: T A

Required torque for jack B only: T B

Required torque of driving source Tt = T A + T B < Allowable input shaft torque

For the allowable input shaft torque, please refer to Major Specifications page of each product.

  • 1. The corrected load Ws is calculated from the maximum load (Service factor sf = 1.3).

    Ws = 28×1.3 = 36.4kN

  • 2. The load W per jack is (assuming Multiple factor fd = 0.85).

    W = 36.4 / 4 / 0.85 = 10.7kN

  • 3. Based on the load per jack, tentatively select model SJ015H.

    The stroke of the jack is set to 600mm to allow for some leeway, as the stroke used is 540mm.

  • 4. Calculate the expected travel distance based on frequency of use.

    Expected travel distance = 0.54 x 2 x 30 x 2 x 8 x 250 x10 -3 x 3 = 388.8km

    Please refer to here for the expected lifespan of the screw shaft, and then find the jack frame number from the intersection of the expected travel distance and the load.

    Since the SJ015H cannot meet the expected travel distance, the model will be SJ030H. ...OK

  • 5. Because a compressive load is applied, the allowable buckling load is calculated using this buckling calculation formula. The safety factor is sf = 4.

    Pcr = 20×104(30.72/775)2 = 295.8kN

    sf = 295.8/10.7 > 4 ...OK

  • 6. Consideration of input shaft overhang load is not necessary as the servo motor is directly driven with a brake.

  • 7. Calculate the required input rotation speed of the jack from the required screw shaft speed.

    N = 10.8 / 0.025×6 = 2592 r/min

    Please pay attention to the units of screw shaft speed and screw lead.
    10.8m/min、25mm --->0.025m)-->(180mm/s --->10.8m/min, 25mm --->0.025m)

  • 8. Check Percentage duty cycle from the time cycle table.

    %ED = (3 + 3) / 14×100 = 43%ED

    Check the allowable Percentage duty cycle here.

    With an input speed of 2592 r/min and an ambient temperature of 30°C, the allowable Percentage duty cycle is 50%ED.

    50%ED > 43%ED ...OK

  • 9. Calculate the required input shaft torque per jack.

    Required input torque in steady state

    T = 10.7×1000×0.025 / 2 / π / 6 / 0.87 + 6 = 14.2N・m

    Please check Major Specifications page for each product for screw lead, speed ratio, overall efficiency, and no-load idling torque.

    0.025m)-->For overall efficiency, please use the value for each input rotation speed. Please pay attention to the screw lead unit (25mm ---> 0.025m).

    Required input shaft torque at startup

    T' = 10.7×1000×0.025 / 2 / π / 6 / 0.65 + 6 = 16.9N・m

    Please check Major Specifications page for each product for startup efficiency.

  • 10. Since one servo motor is used to drive two jacks, calculate the required input shaft torque per servo motor with brake.

    The torque required for the servo motor is

    Tm = 14.2×2 = 28.4N・m

    The starting torque required for the servo motor is

    T'm = 16.9×2 = 33.8N・m

    When selecting a servo motor, consider a model with a brake that satisfies a rated torque of 28.4 N m at a rated speed of 3000 r/min.
    Also, make sure that the starting torque is sufficient.

    Reference) Required capacity of servo motor

    P = 28.4×3000 / 9550 ≒ 9kW

  • 11. Since the two jacks are connected in the same line, the input shaft of the jack closest to the drive side is subjected to the torque of both jacks.
    Check that the input shaft torque of the jack is below the allowable input shaft torque specified in SJ030H.

    Torque for two jacks = 16.9 + 16.9 < 65N・m...OK

  • 12. Jack options

    テーブル形先端金具付-->Shaft end shape (End fitting) --->Table type End fitting fitting

    必要に応じジャバラ(特形品)を使用ください-->Less dust ---> Use bellows (specially shaped) if necessary

  • 13. Based on the above considerations, Linispeed Jack model number is determined to be SJ030H-TCT6M.
