The ambient temperature is a key parameter for the design of screw jacks. Deviations from the standard range must be taken into account, as they influence operation and the heating of the components.

#### Which ambient temperature is considered standard?

The standard ambient temperature is in the range of:

- 20 °C to 25 °C

Deviations from this must be specified.

#### Which ambient temperatures require special attention?

The following ambient temperatures must be considered:

- below 10 °C
- above 40 °C

These influence the design and operating behavior.

#### How does temperature affect operation?

During operation, heating of the components occurs:

- heating at the gearbox
- higher heating at the screw

The screw can reach a significantly higher temperature than the gearbox.

#### Why is ambient temperature relevant for the design?

The ambient temperature influences:

- heating during operation
- the design of the components

It must therefore be considered during enquiry and order.
