OBS

Hydraulic jacks are better than screw jacks, having the advantage that the load can always be released, and they can carry greater loads. An auxiliary screw collar as a safety precaution on these hydraulic jacks permits their retention of the load when hydraulic pressure is released.

OBS

Les vérins hydrauliques sont préférables aux vérins à vis, car ils peuvent supporter de plus grandes charges avec plus de souplesse dans leurs applications. Une vis périphérique auxiliaire permet de munir les vérins hydrauliques d'un système du type «cran d'arrêt», qui fonctionne lorsque la pression hydraulique est relâchée.
