The cable jack is a largeLifting mechanism, which performs the function of lifting the cable drum to a certain height. Typically, the value of the lift height is not very large and is only a few centimeters. This tool is used as a giving device when rewinding or routing a cable.
Device
Cable jack (DC 5V including) has a very primitive design, which consists of the following parts:
- racks;
- lodgement;
- lifting gear and axle.
Features of constructions
The cable jack operates as follows.A hole is made through the central hole of the drum in the device for the jack axis, on which the centering sleeves or cones are mounted. In this case, the special presser shoes move along this axis to the cheek of the rotating drum and are fixed by means of a clamp. Racks are mounted on this device on both sides. Thus, they provide a working gap between the rack design and the cheek of the drum. As a rule, this value does not exceed a mark of 10 centimeters. Why is there no greater gap on the cable jack (DK 5 including)? The fact is that as the distance between these two devices increases, the bending moment of the axis will increase, and this, in turn, can lead to breakdown and failure of the entire mechanism.
As for the lodgment, they are combined with the axiscable drum and are used as a lifting mechanism. At the same time, it is not important whether the screw is a pair or a hydraulic system. The height of the lifting of the coil is about 50-100 millimeters.
Varieties
There are several types of these devices:
- screw;
- lever;
- hydraulic.
Each of these devices has its own operating principle. To understand the design features of each, consider all three types separately.
Let's start with devices that have a screw systemdrive. Such a cable jack operates on the principle of a screw pair, in which, when the coil is lifted, the nut rotates and the screw is progressive.
Hydraulic devices are special in their own way.Their design assumes the presence of a special hydraulic cylinder or jack, which serves as the main lifting mechanism. In such tools, the process of lifting the coil occurs by reciprocating the handle of a hydraulic jack or a hydrostation.
Рычажные устройства представляют собой комплекс jacks, in which the lifting of the cable drum is carried out using a special lever. This detail is assigned to all efforts that develop due to the difference between the arms of the cradle and the handle relative to the central fulcrum.
Thus, a cable jack is a mechanism that can lift a cable drum with different devices to a certain height, but not more than 50 or 100 millimeters.
