Hi all,
What is the best thread profile for a screw jack and is there an optimum combination of pitch and TPI for applying maximum force without grinding the threads too thin? IOW, what's the best trade-off between maintaing the robustness of the jack whilst making the gearing as powerful as possible? Also, what would be a suitable grade of steel to make the worm and nut out of?
Many thanks.

I would start by looking at ACME threads but like jboggs said there are many products already designed, tested and ready for install.
This thread is also very helpful in Austempering. While designing we nee the screw jack which is very helpful in this case. Thanks for nice information.
