HOW THE MECHANISM WORKS

A small bevel input pinion drives a 4:1 reduction into the vertical threaded screw. The travelling nut cannot rotate because it is constrained by two guide rails, so each screw revolution advances the nut and payload platform by the thread lead. Two limit switches automatically reverse the motor in this demonstration. The high-lead screw is not self-locking and would need an independent brake in actual service.

v = (n_input/4) × lead / 60

All dimensions and operating loads are illustrative assumptions. No pressure vessel approval, CFD validation, fatigue analysis, gear contact certification, lifting certification or engineering safety approval.
