JACK SCREW JSI Product Overview
JSI-8-40 / JSX-8-40 is a male-male inch jack screw adjuster with 1/2-20 threads at both ends. Thread length = 1.5″, hex size = 0.75″ across flats, total length = 4.0″, hex height = 0.5″.
The JSI (carbon steel, zinc plated) and JSX (4130 chromoly steel) jack screws thread into rod end bodies at both ends with a central hex for length adjustment. One end has right-hand thread; the other is left-hand — turning the hex extends or shortens the assembly without removing either end. Used in toe links, push rods, throttle rods, and any linkage requiring fine-increment length adjustment without disassembly.
Carbon steel version: JSI-8-40. 4130 chromoly version: JSX-8-40. Special lengths and thread combinations available in volume. Metric equivalent is the JSIM series.

What materials are available in this series?
Standard materials include carbon steel with zinc plating and chromoly steel for heavier-duty fabrication requirements.
How do I choose the right thread size?
Start with the required thread size, then confirm thread length, total length, hex size, and hex height for the assembly.
Are left-hand versions available?
Yes. The series supports right-hand and left-hand thread patterns depending on application requirements.
What dimensions matter most for fitment?
Thread size, thread length, total length, and the wrench hex dimensions are the primary fitment points for jack screw selection.
Can SYZ make special sizes?
Yes. Special sizes are available in production volume for OEM or repeat fabrication programs.
