Design & Fabrication of Motorized
Scissor Jack
A Scissor jack is mechanical equipment used to lift up heavy
loads. The power screw mechanism included in a scissor jack
is design to lower the amount of force needed to lift the
heavy loads. The operation of a scissor jack starts by using a
z shaped crank that is mounted to a small hole on the
mechanism. After rotating the crank, the screw jack rotates
and acts like a gear mechanism.
The lifting section consists of arms. The turning of screw
operates the arms in such a way that it lifts up very gently.
Now the arm rotates very gently and force needed to lift the
vehicle is divided into parts and user can lift very heavy
objects with comparatively very less force. Also the weight
of the load is not enough to push the scissor down, since it
would require very large force. Thus it allows us to life heavy
loads like cars by just using human strength, also the system
is further improved by making it motorized so user does not
need to operate it manually but just press a button for lifting
and lowering it.
