On the production floor, worm gear jack products are constantly exposed to all kinds of harmful contaminates. With that in mind, it’s important to consider using solutions like bellow boots to protect your worm gear screw jack products. A boot protects the lifting shaft from contamination and helps retain lubricant to ensure long jack life.

Standard boots are sewn from black neoprene-covered nylon fabric for oil, water and weather resistance and are acceptable for use in -30° to +300°F environments. Optional materials are available for specific operating conditions. To understand which boots are best suited for your application, we’ve created a  template to make the process easier.

Standard boots are furnished with tie straps for jacks with greater than 65 inches travel. Tie straps are attached from convolution to convolution and help the boot extend uniformly.
