Parallelism and angularity

Pay attention to the parallelism andangularity of mounting surfaces, gears,nuts and guides to each other. The sameapplies for exact alignment of gears,pedestal bearings, connecting shafts andmotors to each other.

GuidesGuide bush play inthe screw jack gear-box can be between0.2 mm and 0.6 mm depending on thesize. This is just asecondary supportand does not re-place a linear guidesystem to supportside forces.

- Frequency converter: Serves to increase the motor speed to above 1500. This variant is only usable for movements without load or with light loads.

Slower:- Motors with more poles/lower speed

(6, 8, 10 or 12 poles)- Frequency converter (attention:

a suitable cooler for the motor is required for slow operation below 25 Hz, e.g.: external fan)

- Geared motor (attention: maximum input torque)

- Bevel gearbox with gear reduction (only possible for certain applications)

Temperature and operating periodScrew jacks are generally not designed for continuous operation.Refer to the diagram on the Gearbox Pages (Section 4 - Catalogue 2008) for the maximum #ope-rating periods (ED). These are reference values but variousaccording to usage conditions. In borderline cases, select a larger screwjack or contact our project technicians.Operating temperatures should notexceed 80°C (higher on request).

Rotation protectionOn the Version S with standing spindle,the spindle is free running within the gear(worm wheel). The spindle must be pro-tected against rotation – otherwise itwould rotate due to the friction in theworm wheel. This can be achieved byfixing the spindle to an external guidancesystem or by using our rotation protection(VS) (in a protective tube).

Design and specificationThe customer confirm selection anddimensioning because we are not familiarwith the design criteria such as installa-tion location and type of application. Wecan provide support during selection andlayout on request and make a proposalwith subassemblies drawing and calcula-tion based on your application parame-ters. You can then examine and approvethis drawing with parts lists. These thenserve as basis for production and pre-assembly and assist your employeesduring assembly and fitting. We guaran-tee the quality of the machine elementsas described in the catalogue. The gear-boxes are designed for industrial use withloads and operating periods as specified inthe catalogue.

Please contact our project technicians fordemands going beyond these specifica-tions. We generally deliver according toour current Terms of Sales and Delivery(Section 10 - Catalogue 2008).

Lifting speed

Several options are available to in-fluence the lifting speed:

Faster:- Double-pitch screw (not generally in

stock): Doubles the speed (attention: max. input torque, not self-locking -brake required!)

- Larger spindle diameter for R version(spindle from next larger size): Bigger pitch / higher lifting speed depending on gearbox size

- Ball screw spindle: Various pitch optionsavailable (attention: not self-locking,brake required!)

Direction of rotation and movement

Check the rotation direction of the equipment and record this in the drawingor select one of our standard system layouts (Section 4 - Catalogue 2008). With T bevel gearboxes, the direction ofrotation can be changed by simply turning the gearbox around.

Self-locking / overrunScrew jacks with a single pitch trapezoidthread spindles have a limited self-lockingcapability which cannot always be reliedupon, especially with impact loads orvibrations (brake recommended).

The overrun after the motor has beenswitched off varies depending on theapplication. To minimize overrun, werecommend using a brake motor or aspring-compression brake FDB. A brakedmotor is essential for double pitch spindles or ball screw drives because these are not self-locking.

Safety distanceSafety distancesbetween movingand stationarycomponents mustbe maintainedotherwise there isthe risk of thescrew jack reachingthe blocked position (see Gearbox Data Sheets).

AccuracyThe repeat accuracy of thegearbox can be upto 0.05 mm whenmoving to thesame positionagain under thesame load condi-tions. This requires measures on the drive side, e.g. a rotaryvoltage braked motor in connection with a frequency converter, a rotary pulse encoder or a servo motor withencoder, etc.

The pitch accuracy for trapezoid spindlesis 0.2 mm over 300 mm spindle length,and 0.05 mm for ball screw spindles over300 mm spindle length.

Under alternating load, axial play on trapezoid threads can be up to 0.4 mmand 0.08 mm on ball screws (when new).Rotation play on a new drive shaft isapprox. 3° to 5°.

Drive To achievesmooth startup andbrake ramps,we recom-mend using afrequency converter. This lengthens theservice life of the equipment and mini-mizes starting noise.

Trial run!Trial runs without load and under normaloperating conditions including load(according to your design parameters) arenecessary to ensure reliable operation. These on-site trial runs are necessary to achieve system alignement and to eliminate any factors which may affect operation.

Spare partsTo protect against production downtimescaused by long operating periods or highloads, we recommend storing a set ofscrew jacks (including spindles, systemcomponents and with assembly drawings)at your location or at your customer'slocation.

Stage engineeringWe deliver lifting equipment according tothe current regulations on stage design.

Land, air and water vehiclesOur machine elements used in any land,sea or air vehicles are generally excludedfrom our extended warranty terms. Individual conditions can be agreed withour management.

Environmental conditionsPlease specify any ambient conditionsoutside normal industrial environmentalconditions (Checklists).

The mounting surfaces for the nutsshould also be at right angles. ZIMM hasdeveloped the self-aligning nut PM (seeSection 7 - Catalogue 2008) to save timeand costs here.

Additional features where alignment maybe a problem are the integrated pivotbushings in the gearbox or the hingedbearing plate KAR (see Section 7 - Catalogue 2008).

For plant engineering: We supply massive standard linear guides including rollers. Stability, longservice life, avoidance of geometric errorsand absorption of side forces are decisivearguments for using these guides.

You can find further information on ourhomepage at www.zimm.at

LubricationAdequate lubrication isessential for theservice life of ascrew jack.Ensure ade-quate lubrica-tion of spindles, gearboxes and rotationprotection. The red lubrication strip forthe rotation protection can be mountedin alternative positions to meet your requirements (please specify). Please also refer to our lubricator and ourAssembly, Operating and MaintenanceInstructions (Section 8 - Catalogue 2008).

Assembly, Operating and MaintenanceInstructionsPlease refer to our Assembly, Operatingand Maintenance Instructions (Section 8 -Catalogue 2008) during the design phase.

Design advice for plant engineers:Hardly any assembly problems arise whenusing screw jacks in mechanical enginee-ring because the surfaces being processedare machined. In plant engineering how-ever, frequent geometric faults may occurin welded frames despite accurate wor-king in steel construction. The interaction between different components can alsocause alignment issues. Therefore the following must be considered:

Parallelism / angularity:

Spindles and guides must be parallel toeach other otherwise the equipment canseize up during operation. All mountingsurfaces for the gearboxes must be exactly at right angles to the guidesotherwise interference can occur. This accelerates wear and/or severe damage can occur. Squeaking noises can also occur on R versions.

Printing errors, mistakes regarding dimensions etc., as well as technical changes and improvements are excepted. Valid re the drawings which are have been checked and approved by both partners in accordance with the order acknowledgement.

Critical Whirling Speed for R Gearboxes

The maximum allowable spindle speedmust be calculated for R version gear-boxes (with rotating spindle) with long,thin spindles. To do this, read out the theoretical critical speed nkr from the diagram. Also consider the additionallengths for spindle bellows etc. when calculating the unsupported spindlelengths. Now use the formula togetherwith the correction factor for the spindle mounting to calculate the maximum allowable spindle speed.

If the calculated maximum spindle speedis lower than the required speed, select alarger spindle or a double pitch spindlewith half the speed. This must then bechecked. You have the option to use a"stronger spindle" on the R version (spindle of next larger gearbox).

Bear in mind that a larger diameter spindle demands a higher drive torque.

Attention:Long, thin spindles can squeak even though the bending critical speed ismaintained! Therefore calculate with sufficient safety margins.

Drive Torque for Gearboxes - Approximated Calculation

Attention:We recommend multiplying the calculated value by a safety factor of 1.3to 1.5 (up to 2 for small systems). Thevalues specified are valid for even loaddistribution across all gearboxes!

MR – overall drive torquefor the complete system

MG - drive torque forone single screw jack

MA – starting torque max. 1.5 x MR

Example (example page 11, 12 kN per gearbox)

MR = MG x 4.6 = 6.21 Nm x 4.6 = 28.57 Nm x safety 1.5 = 42.86 Nm

MR = MG x 2.25

MR = MG x 2.1 MR = MG x 3.1 MR = MG x 3.35

MR = MG x 4.6 MR = MG x 6.8 MR = MG x 4.4

MR = MG x 3.34 MR = MG x 3.27

DeterminationThe drive torque required for a liftingsystem is the sum of the torques for thesingle screw jacks and increases due tofriction losses on transfer componentssuch as couplings, connecting shafts,bevel gearboxes etc.

To simplify the calculation, the followingfactors are used to determine the drive torque for the most common system layouts.

Fitting lenghtThe following Tables serve to calculate the required spindle and protective tubeextension lengths yourself. This lets youquickly calculate the fitting dimensions of your screw jack.

Basic principleThe spindle (and the protective tube onthe S version) are extended depending onthe version and system components used. These dimensions are minimum requirements. For special fitting situations, please provide a drawing orcontact our project technicians.

Length Calculation, Standing Version S - Protective Tube SRO

1) Basic length of protective tube without cap - add another 5 mm to the overall length of the protective tube to include the

cap thickness.2) If a shorter stroke than specified is

required, fit the limit switches and the lubrication strip on two different sides (fitting location)!

3) Limit switches ES are always in combination with rotation protectionVS (VS is included in the extension), with escape protection AS as from Z-250.
