What should be considered when mounting jacks horizontally?

When jacks are mounted horizontally, Joyce/Dayton recommends that the input shaft (worm) be mounted below the lifting screw and parallel with the horizon. This position provides the most lubrication to the input shaft (worm), and to both worm shaft bearings. The load capacity of the jack may be reduced when the lifting screw is mounted horizontally. Bevel gear jacks should not be mounted horizontally. Please contact a Joyce/Dayton application engineer at sales@joycedayton.com to discuss horizontal applications.
