Line Stop Actuators (Jackscrews)

Selecting the correct jackscrew depends on the pipe diameter and the line stop machine you are using. Our models are clearly specified for certain pipe size ranges, from 8-inch to 84-inch lines. Key factors include the required stroke length to fully insert the stopping head and the boring bar diameter compatibility. Consult the product specifications or contact our team for guidance.

All of our Line Stop Actuators are engineered and rated for a maximum operating pressure of 350 psi. This ensures safe and reliable performance under the demanding conditions typically found in water, wastewater, and industrial pipeline applications. Each unit is built to maintain this pressure rating, providing a secure seal for your line stopping operations.

We offer several drive options to suit different operational needs. Our smaller models come standard with a manual handwheel. For larger applications, we provide Remote Chain Reduction, Remote Gear Reduction, and heavy-duty Hydraulic drives. These remote options enhance operator safety and provide the necessary torque for actuating large line stop heads in high-pressure environments.

While our jackscrews are designed to integrate seamlessly with Schallert Enterprises' line stop heads and housings, they can often be adapted for use with other systems. We have extensive experience in manufacturing equipment to fit exact customer needs. Please contact us with the specifications of your existing equipment to discuss compatibility and potential custom configurations.

Yes, customization is one of our core strengths. We have the capability to modify our standard jackscrew actuators to meet your specific project requirements, whether you need a unique stroke length, special mounting configurations, or other custom features. Our engineering team can work with you to develop a solution that fits your exact needs while maintaining our high standards of quality and reliability.

Proper maintenance is key to ensuring your jackscrew lasts for decades. We recommend regular inspection of the chrome bar for damage, ensuring all moving parts are clean and properly lubricated, and checking connections before each use. Following these simple steps will protect your investment and guarantee reliable performance on every job, upholding the durability our equipment is known for.
