JMR & JSR Series Rack Jacks: High-Speed Bidirectional Drive

1. Product Overview

The Rack Jack is one of the most versatile actuation devices, capable of seamless bidirectional conversion:

  • Rotary to Linear: Converts input shaft rotation into rack travel.

  • Linear to Rotary: Converts rack movement back into shaft rotation.

Designed to optimize speed and efficiency, this series is the ideal choice for push-pull mechanisms or rapid lifting in confined spaces.

2. Key Features of the JMR & JSR Series

  • Superior Linear Speed: Enables the rack to move at high velocities even with low input shaft speeds. Maximum travel speeds can reach up to 8000 mm/min.

  • Optimal Mechanical Efficiency: With an efficiency rating of up to 0.90, these units minimize energy loss during power transmission.

  • Flexible Installation: The housing features two mounting surfaces (parallel or perpendicular to the rack\’s direction of travel), allowing engineers to integrate the unit easily into various machine structures.

  • Diverse Shaft End Options: Offers 3 types of shaft ends to suit any connection requirement. Additional support for bellows (dust covers), limit switches, and RC encoders is available.

  • Safety Note (Non-Self-Locking): Due to high efficiency and low friction, this series is not self-locking. A braking system must be equipped to hold the position when the load is stopped.
