FAQs about Selection Criteria
Can the lifespan of screw jacks be calculated?
Yes, for screw jacks with ball or roller screw mechanisms, a lifespan can be calculated. However, for trapezoidal screw mechanisms, lifespan calculation is not possible. More information on the calculations can be found here.
How can the buckling of a linear chain be calculated?
There is no calculation basis for this. The buckling length has been determined through tests. You can find a corresponding diagram for horizontal applications here: General Catalog 2023 (grob-antriebstechnik.de). For vertical applications, please contact us.
What needs to be considered in the dimensioning of linear chains?
- The load must be guided
- The push chain size must be chosen correctly
- It should be driven over a ramp
How can the desired lifting speed be achieved?
You have several options for achieving this:
- Modifying the gear ratio
- Modifying the spindle pitch
- Adjusting the motor speed
All of these measures are available in many standard configurations from us
How large does my motor need to be to move a specific load?
The determining factor for motor size is power, which results from the product of speed and torque. For more information on this topic, please refer to our Learning Center.
Is it possible to equip the gearbox with a stainless-steel spindle?
Yes, threaded spindles can also be equipped in stainless steel.
