Because when we remove the effort, the screw jack can't do anything in the reverse direction. So it is non-reversble machine.

Non-reversible is that it's efficiency should be less than 50%.

In a screw jack, the effort required to lower the load is the answer.

Screw jack is a non reversible machine, as it does not return to its original position even after the load is applied.

Screw jack is used to adjust support for heavy loads then it is a reversible machine, please give me reason why?

Abhinav said:   9 years ago
It is due to the less efficiency.

Vesu said:   9 years ago
Since the efficiency of a screw jack is below 50%. It is a non-reversible machine.

Since it includes friction its non-reversible.
