Two reasons.
1 - converting rotary motion to linear motion.
2 - too much force.

Thread used in screw jack?
acme thread
What is screw Jack?
a screw jack is a jack that actually screws in and out as you raise or lower the jack the shaft has a big thread ,like a bolt. It is ideally used for lifting and lowering loads. It can be used in a mechanics or even in theatre's for raising and lowering people onto a stage.
What type of thread provides screw jack spindle?
in case of simple screw jack it's single start square thread in case of worm geared screw jack it's double start square thread double start gives greater speed but requires more torque ,hence worm geared :)
What is the Thread used in lead screw?
An acme thread is the most commonly used.
Why square threads are used in screw jack?
§ Screw threads have better compression strength than other threads. § Due to low thread angle there is no radial pressure on nut. § Due to smaller angle, the lead of screw is less.

What a lead screw is used for?
the leadscrew is used for thread cutting on a lathe
What is screw thread?
This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.
What kind of machine is a thread roll?
A thread rolling machine is used to cut external screw threads on round metal bars to take the internal screw thread of a nut (as in a nut and bolt).
How does the length around the threads of a screw compare to an inclined plane?
A screw thread consists of a continuous triangular prism (the thread) wrapped in a spiral round a cylinder. A screw thread may be used to elevate an object in a manner analogous to an inclined plane.
Angle of thread for different thread?
The angle of a thread of a screw is an angle between the threads and it is the defining factor for the shape of the screw thread.
What is single thread of screw thread?
when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw
