Details About Motorized Screw Jack

A screw jack is a portable device consisting of a screw mechanism used to

raise or lower the load.

A hydraulic jack consists of a cylinder and piston mechanism. The

movement of the piston rod is used to raise or lower the load.

Mechanical jacks can be either hand operated or power driven.

I t Works In Vertical Manner In Order to raise or lowerthe load.

USAGE OF CYLINDER JACK INSTEAD OF POWER SCREW

Jacks are of mainly two types:

1) Mechanical jack.
2) Hydraulic jack.

They vary in size depending on the load that they are used to lift.

I) Bevel Gear
The Bevel gears, which are designed to transmit motion and power between
perpendicular shafts, are the most suitable gears for transmitting power and
motion at right angle in power transmission industry.

Application

I) Battery
Lead-acid wet cell

Where high values of load current are necessary, the lead-acid cell is the
type most commonly used.

The clectrolyte is a dilute solution of sulfuric acid (H2S04).lead-acid cells

are often used in a series combination of three for a 6-V battery and six for a
12-V battery.

The lead acid cell type is a secondary cell or storage cell, which can be
recharged.

Cylinder Jacks

A Motorized cylinder jack has simpler construction.

A screw thread keeps moving vertically over the assembly. As the screw
threads are turned, the jack starts linear motion accordingly. The forward
and reverse motion of the screw rises and lowers the load respectively.

The load F produces bending and it is maximum, when the screw is at its
maximum lift. The screw also experiences twisting moment due to F. the
shear stress is also induced in the screw due to the twisting moment between
the threads of screw and nut.

Here,
a-Acceleration due to gravity i.e. gravitational acceleration "g".
F= Torque applied to cylinder jack through motor.

The diameter only consider compressive stress but screw is subjected to

torsion and bending moments for that we increase a diameter to higher values
we will use a screw with 55mm nominal diameter & 9mm pitch.

IV) D.C. motor (permanent magnet)

A n electric motor is a machine which converts electrical energy to

mechanical energy.

When a motor is in operation, it develops torque. This torque can produce

mechanical otation. DC motors are also like generators classified into shunt
wound or series wound or compound wound motors.

 Advantages
The loaded light vehicles can be easily lifted.

Checking and cleaning are easy, because the main parts are screwed.

Handling is easy

No Manual power required.

Easy to Repair.

Replacement of parts is easy .

 Disadvantages
Cost of the equipment is high when compared to ordinary hand jack.

Care must be taken for the handling the equipment such as proper wiring
connection, battery charging checkup, etc.

Can Be Operated Only With Power Source.

 CONCLUSION
Screw Jacks are the ideal product to push, pul, lift, lower and position loads
of anything from a couple of kilograms to hundreds of tones.

The need has long existed for an improved portable jack for automotive
vehicles.

>The Primary Thing Is That It Should Be Capable of lifüng a wheel of a

4,000-5,000 pound vehicle off the ground.

Further, it should be stable and easily controllable by a switch so that

jacking can be done from a position of safety.
