Lifting Solutions
Lifting Solutions
Drive Lines are a leading provider of Lift system solutions for UK industry. With extensive success in Aerospace, Marine, Automotive and many other fields and manufacturing processes.
We provide solutions for projects of all sizes and support your application planning with experienced technical and application advice, including product selection and CAD models
Drive Lines are able to pick and choose from our extensive range of components from quality manufacturers and provide Lifting Screw jacks, spindles, gearboxes, motors, line shafts, couplings and Linear guidance as a package of parts for your project.
Mechanically linked screw jack systems provide clean, controlled, safe lifting of large and small structures and applications.
The main advantages of a screw jack lifting system over hydraulic, pneumatic or chain driven lift drive system are:
- Controlled Lift with mechanically linked Jacks for Safe, Synchronised lift with No skewing
- Compact Worm Gear Screw jack for efficiency and Self Locking (no backwind)
- Single Motor drive for cost and space saving with Brake, feedback and Atex options
- Variable Speed control options allow soft start and current management
Drive Lines has supported many Design engineers, OEMS and Special purpose machine builders with applications, supplying and recommending the best components for each solution from industry leading suppliers.
Lifting Applications throughout industry
Many industries can benefit from Screw Jack lifting solutions. Aerospace relies on safe and controlled Engine or personnel lifting equipment and Screw jacks provide the perfect solution.
Other industries such as civil structures, cathedrals floors and general automation process also lend themselves to Screw jack solutions.
Safety features can include; Safety nuts, Self locking ratio jacks and secondary safety options such as Motor brakes or locking linear clamps.
Drive Lines can select and help designers provide the perfect solution with our Jack, bevel gearboxes, Couplings & line shafts, Motors and also complementing linear guidance to deliver a complete solution for your lifting requirements.
Grob Screw Jacks
Drive Lines the exclusive representative in the UK for Grob Antriebstechnik screw jacks. Screw jacks are used wherever controlled lifting, lowering and slewing is required. They can be installed singly, in pairs or as part of a multiple jack system.
Nidec Graessner Bevel Gearboxes
The PowerGear Bevel Gearbox offers angular torque transfer and torque distribution in single, or multiple shaft configuration for lifting arrays or transfer lines; when weight is important in non-stationary applications the PowerGear design is ideally suited. This gearbox is often found in applications where torque forces are high and space is of a premium due to its robust, reliable and maintenance free nature.
R+W Couplings and Line shafts
Elastomer couplings offer precision with vibration damping. Line shaft couplings are used to span large distances between drive components. High precision intermediate tubing is combined with end hubs and flexible elements suitable for the application
Fairfield Control Systems
Integral to the electromechanical Screw jack solution is the electrical infrastructure and control. Our recommended control partner for these projects is Fairfield Control Systems.
Experienced in large scale projects, they are perfectly positioned to manage the electrical aspects of your project with the Grob Jacks and our MEZ motor solutions.
