SWL Worm Gear Screw Jacks are linear motion actuators that combine a worm-gear mechanism with a trapezoidal screw or a ball screw to perform lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, and precise position adjustment. The worm-gear transmission converts motor rotation into linear screw motion, enabling controlled movement with high load capacity and excellent positioning stability. The SWL series covers static load capacities from 1 kN to 1200 kN and can operate as a single unit or in mechanically or electrically synchronized multi-jack systems.
Two structural configurations are available. Type 1 uses a translating screw with a rotating nut, ideal for vertical lifting and precise positioning. Type 2 uses a rotating screw with a translating nut, suitable for compact installations or high-speed operations. Multiple screw-end options are offered, including cylindrical ends, flange ends, threaded ends, and flat ends for easy integration with machine structures. Trapezoidal spindles provide self-locking capability for load-holding applications, while ball-screw versions deliver higher efficiency and faster operating speeds for dynamic cycles.
SWL screw jacks may be equipped with anti-rotation devices, protective covers, telescopic tubes, and various mounting configurations to suit harsh environments such as dust, outdoor exposure, heavy vibration, or high-duty cycles. The jacks can be driven by a handwheel, electric motor, gear reducer, or coupling system. Their robust design, strong load-carrying capability, and long-term durability make them suitable for industrial machinery, automation equipment, lifting platforms, stage systems, and precision alignment applications.

FAQs
Yes. NUODUN’s core competitiveness lies in the synergistic advantage of “customization + system integration.” We support structural customization, torque customization, input flange customization, mounting interface customization, stroke customization and more for products such as planetary gearboxes, screw jacks, electric cylinders, and gearboxes. The typical lead time for standard non-standard customization is 7–20 days, while more complex engineered projects are usually delivered within 3–6 weeks.

Our engineering strength comes from long-term R&D investment, CAE simulation, lifetime calculation databases, modular design frameworks, and a mature testing/verification system. This ensures that every customized solution is not only manufacturable, but also reliable under real-world loads — balancing precision, durability, and cost efficiency.







Our products are widely used in photovoltaic manufacturing, semiconductor equipment, automotive production, metallurgy, logistics, medical devices, aerospace, stage automation, and industrial automation — especially where precision positioning, heavy loads, or long service life are required.
All products undergo type testing, torque testing, vibration testing, life testing, noise measurement, and precision inspection. Core components such as gears, screws, and bearings are produced using advanced machining, grinding, heat treatment, and automated assembly processes.
