Jacking Systems

U-Series Subsea Screw jacks can be connected together in complete subsea systems so that multiple units can be operated and controlled in unison. These subsea jacking systemย arrangements or configurations can be designed in lots of different formats using our complementary subsea products such asย Range-U bevel gearboxes, motors, reduction gearboxes, drive shafts, couplings, bearing supports and motion control devices.

Multiple subsea screw jacks connected in a mechanically linked system can mean that the complete system is considered self-locking. If you would like this checked please consult Power Jacks. Alternatively, to be sure, include a brake on the system.
