Schraubzylinder

A Schraubzylinder, also known as a screw cylinder or screw jack, is a type of hydraulic cylinder that uses a screw mechanism to convert rotational motion into linear motion. It is commonly used in applications where a high force is required over a short stroke length. The Schraubzylinder consists of a screw, a nut, and a cylinder barrel. The screw is driven by a hydraulic motor, which rotates the screw and causes the nut to move linearly along the cylinder barrel. The force generated by the Schraubzylinder is proportional to the torque applied to the screw and the lead of the screw. The Schraubzylinder is often used in heavy machinery, such as cranes, excavators, and bulldozers, where it is used to lift or move heavy loads. It is also used in the aerospace industry for landing gear and in the automotive industry for suspension systems. The Schraubzylinder is known for its high force-to-weight ratio and its ability to provide a smooth and precise linear motion. However, it has a limited stroke length and is not suitable for applications that require a long stroke.
