ABSTRACT
Lifting an automobile vehicle by using built-in hydraulic jack. It is operated by a
single push button provided on the dashboard of the vehicle. Hydraulic drive consists
of: hydraulic cylinder, lead screw and solenoid valve. The hydraulic jack can operate
any one side of the four wheeler, when it will at the breakdown condition. The four
wheeler will lift and load distribute on three ways: plunger of hydraulic cylinder and
two tires are lifted which will in opposite side.
Keywords: Hydraulic Jack, Pneumatic System, Lifting of an Automobile, Screw
System.

1. INTRODUCTION
Self-lubricating and hydraulic jack with a fixed asset with a pump, which uses a fluid forced
into a cylinder. Inside plunger pump draws oil from the reservoir via a suction valve. It pushes
the plunger cylinder moving oil through a discharge valve. Ball room and the suction valve
plunger opens with each draw. The exhaust valve, and oil out of the room at the time the ball
is pushed open cylinder. The main objective of this project is to reduce the human effort and
when operating the hydraulic lift hydraulic jack is to provide a safe and simple[1-7].

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
The research survey revealed that few methods were adopted to lift the vehicle for
reconditioning, repairing and others. This hydraulic jack has mainly focused on this difficulty.
Therefore a suitable device has been designed for lifting the vehicle without apply any impact
force[1] The device has been considered for simple and economy therefore it is one of the
important and essential equipment in automobile service centre’s [2] which are required
minimum skilled technician. In many auto service centre’s vehicles are lifted by using screw
jack, to avoid this automatic hydraulic jack may be utilized in lifting the vehicles easily
without impact force [3]

 Design of Built-in Hydraulic Jack for Light Motor Vehicles

This can be operated by even unskilled operator. The DC motor is joined with the lead
screw by the help of gear arrangement and lead screw rotation depending on the rotation of
the above mentioned DC motor [4].
It is a device working under the principle of screw mechanism utilized to raise and lower
the vehicle. Screw [5], may be less, depending on the pressure to be used in tall, thick or thin.
Front made of various metals, but it is done with the screw. Large amount of heat generated
during operation of the device, [6] the correct lubricants to be used, which may cause
overheating. Which can be the life of the device and increase the capacity of oil lubricants?
Description of Equipments
The inbuilt hydraulic jack consists of the following components.
1. Hydraulic cylinder
2. Lead screw
3. Gate valve
4. DC Motor

Figure 3 Gate Valve

A Gate valve is opened by lifting a round gate path of the fluid. The feature of the gate
valve is the seal between the gate and seats [13-20].

3. WORKING PRINCIPLE
The equipment consists of hydraulic cylinders, lead screw motor and gate valve. The rod from
motorized screw rod guide is connected in the master hydraulic cylinder. The four hydraulic
cylinders are fixed in the four corners of vehicle. The master cylinder is connected to the other
four cylinders. When switch is ON, the motor pushing the rod in screw rod moves the master
cylinder piston rod backward. Hydraulic oil in master cylinder exit to a chamber from where
hydraulic oil flows to each four cylinder through hose. Then it supplies the oil to lifting
cylinders when open the gate valve for each lifting cylinders. If we need to operate specific
cylinder means we can operate the gate valve of that specific cylinder. After puncturing the
wheel or after completing the mechanical fault in the vehicle. The wheels are grounded safely
by the same process [7-13].

5. MERITS & APPLICATIONS

• Reduce the security tension
• Power can be easily transmitted
• Easy to operate
• Easy to implement and compatible in size
• Quick lifting
• Suitable for heavy load
• Noiseless operation

6. APPLICATIONS:
• Applicable for all types of four wheelers.

7. CONCLUSION
It is very useful for lifting the vehicle with the help of lead screw and DC motor set up. It is
easy to lift the vehicle with less man power.
This project will reduce the cost involved in the concern. It will be controlled through the
switch provided on the dashboard with the features of easy controlling and operating.
