I need motarized screw jack project idea for my clg so plz help me

Abstract— The purpose of this paper is to design a screw
jack which is easy for operating, safe and able to lift and
lowering the car without spending much effort. Available car
jacks are typically manually operated and therefore require
more physical effort on the part of the user. Such jacks
creates difficulties for the elderly, handicapped, and women’s.
Disadvantageous in bad weather conditions. And this is a
waste of time and even will endanger if jacking and changing
the tire is in hurry. So, for that reason electrical-powered
jacks not only remove the task of lifting an Automobile via
manually operated jacks, but also decrease the time needed to
repair the automobile. This is a review of one type of
automation project.
Keywords – D.C motor, Gear & pinion, Lifting Arm,
On/Off switch, Power screw, Speed reduction.
I. INTRODUCTION
A Screw jack is a device which is used to raise part of a
vehicle in order to facilitate vehicle maintenances or
breakdown repairs. In normal Jack system a mechanical
jack is used for lifting the vehicles. The most common
form is a car jack, garage jack, floor jack which lifts
vehicles so that maintenance can be performed. Car jacks
generally used to increase mechanical advantage while
lifting the vehicle. In general the weight of the vehicle is
near about the 1 tons. A specified jack can hold up to 1000
kilograms, but tests taken by Consumer Affairs has
revealed that is fails to work after lifting 250 kilograms and
may physically break when it has a weight close to its 1000
kilograms capacity. Tests have proven that the jack has the
tendency to buckle under the weight it is promoted to
withstand. For this reason, we have to developed the
system which can used with toggle jack is automatic in
operation. That means with the help of the electric motor.
For this motor we have to use the vehicle battery is as
source. In this, vehicle battery should be a 12V DC motor
with some torque which is required to overcome the thread
friction and to raise the load.
II. NEED OF INVENTION
In the world, the fact is that „necessity is the mother of
invention‟ and the necessary condition is that, large effort
is required for the manual operation of jacks, so for that
reason, it is the need of invention. In the repair and
maintenance of automobiles, it is often necessary to raise
an automobile to change a tyre or access the bottom of the
automobile. According to that, various car jacks have been
developed for lifting an automobile from a ground surface.
In that case, they are categorised as; Standard jack,
pneumatic jack, farm jack, hydraulic jack. Normally the
standard jack uses the power screw for lifting. These
standard jack has limited degree of freedom with
corresponding page link members. In Hydraulic jack,
incompressible fluid is used instead of screw for lifting.
Which is achieved by increasing the fluid pressure in
cylinder to uplift the load. Available jacks are typically
large, heavy and also difficult to store, transport, carry or
move into underside of an automobile. Doing work in a
bent or occupying position for a period of time is not
ergonomic to human body, i.e. It is not completely
desirable in ergonomics point of view. It may give back
problem while continuous working with same. Engineering
is preferred for making things simpler or improving and
effective, for that Car jacks must be easy to use for
pregnant women. The general purpose of the project is to
minimize the human effort while operating the jack.
III. LITERATURE REVIEW
Screw type mechanical jacks were very commonly
referred in jeeps and trucks at World War II vintage. For
ex., the World War II jeeps (Ford GPW and Willys MB)
were introduced with the Jack, Screw type, Capacity 1 1/2
ton, Ordnance part number 41-J-66. In that days, the 41-J-
66 jack was carried in the jeep's tool box. Screw type jack's
preferred continued for small capacity use due to minimum
cost of production for raise or lower the load. It had
negligible maintenance.

The concept of using a screw as a machine was first
demonstrated by Archimedes in 200BC with his device
used for pumping water. There is also evidence that screws
were preferred in the Ancient Roman world. But, In the late
1400s, the Leonardo da Vinci, who first displayed the
method of use of a screw jack for lifting the loads. Its
design used a threaded worm gear, supported on bearings,
which is rotated by the turning of a worm shaft to drive a
lifting screw to move the load instantly recognisable as the
principle used today.
Thomas J. Prather (2009): In this, there was a introduction
about vehicle lift system. A drive assembly was
mechanically coupled to the piston. The drive assembly
was operated in first direction to raise an upper end of the
piston with respect to the housing. The drive assembly was
operated in a second direction to lower the upper end of the
piston with respect to the housing. The drive assembly was
coupled to the power supply port which is removable to
supply electrical power to the drive assembly.
Farhad Razzaghi (2007): In this, electrically powered jack
shown for normally raising and lowering of automobile
from ground surface. The mechanism may be used in
joining with a typical portable car jack, during which the
mechanism constitute a power drill, a rod, and a numerous
jack adapters.
Manoj Patil (2014): In this general article, screw jack is to
developed to overcome the human effort. It is actually
difficult job to operate for pregnant women and old person.
Changing the tyre is not a pleasant experience. Especially
women can‟t apply more force to operate. For that, electric
operated car jack is introduced

screw jack by varying different helix angle.
IV. PRINCIPLE OF WORKING
Standard Jack:
Standard jack is a mechanical device which is used to
lifting device. Standard jack employs a screw thread for
lifting heavy equipment. The most common used in cars as
car jack, floor jack or garage jack which lifts vehicles for
purpose of vehicle maintenance. Standard Mechanical jacks
are usually rated for a maximum lifting capacity (for ex.,
1.5 tons or 3.0 tons). For maximum load hydraulic or
pneumatic power is used to lift the Vehicle.
Pneumatic jack:
A pneumatic jack is a part of hydraulic jack that is
actuated by compressed air - for example, air from a
compressor - instead of human work. It saves the effort
which exclude the need of the user to actuate the hydraulic
mechanism, with potentially increasing speed. In certain
circumstances, these jacks are also capable to be operated
by normal hydraulic actuation mechanism, by that keeping
possession ability, even when source of compressed air is
not available.
Farm jack:
The farm jack is also known as a Hi-Lift Jack. It is
composed of a steel beam with a chain or series of equally
spaced holes continuous with its length and a mechanism
with hand operated which is moved from one end of the
beam to the other through the use of a pair of climbing
pins. The farm jacks are categorised as 1.2m , 1.5m and
1.8m.

Hydraulic jack:
Incompressible Fluid is uses in hydraulic jack that is
forced into a cylinder by a pump plunger. Oil is used which
is self lubricating and stable. At the time, when the plunger
goes into the reservoir, it get return with oil by means of a
suction check valve into the pump chamber. When the
plunger goes toward the reservoir, it presses the oil into the
cylinder by means of discharge check valve. Due to action
of suction valve ball, the valve is open by to and fro motion
of plunger which is fitted inside the chamber and same
action also done when is moved out but in that condition
discharge valve ball is fitted out of the chamber. At this
stage the suction ball inside the chamber is pressurized by
external work which help to increase pressure in the
cylinder.
V. DESIGN CONCEPT
Torque Requirement to Raise the Load
The screw is considered as an inclined plane with
inclination α.When the load is get raised, following forces
act at a point on it‟s inclined plane.
Load, W: It always acts in vertically downward
direction. Normal reaction, N: It acts transversely
perpendicular to the normal inclined plane.
Frictional force, μN: Frictional force acts opposite to the
motion. Since the load travel in the direction of inclined
plane , frictional force acts toward the downward direction
along the inclined plane.
Fig. 5.1
Effort, P: The effort P acts in a direction perpendicular
to the load W. It always move towards right to reduce the
friction and raise the load on that direction.
For an equilibrium of horizontal forces.
P = μ N cos α + N sin α (a)
For an equilibrium of vertical forces,
W = N cos α – μ N sin α (b)
Dividing expression (a) by (b),
P = ©
The coefficient of friction μ is expressed as,
μ = tan θ (d)
Where θ is the friction angle.
Substituting μ = tan θ in Eq. ©,
P =
Or P = W tan (θ + α) (e)
The torque”T” required to raise the load is given by,
T=
T= (f)
Torque Requirement for Lowering the Load
When the load is being lowered, the following forces act at
a point on the inclined plane.
Load, W: It always acts in vertically downward direction.
Normal reaction, N: It acts transversely perpendicular to
the normal inclined plane.
Frictional force, μN: Frictional force acts opposite to the
motion. Since the load travel in the direction of inclined
plane , frictional force acts toward the upward direction
along the inclined plane.

screw jack.
VII. CONCLUSION
This jack is highly desirable jack to become available in
vehicles that can be operated by the electric D.C. Motor
and the electric supply is given to motor from vehicle
battery. Such a jack is should be compact. Hence it can
easily store in an automobile. That whole design is control
by a switch so that jacking can be done from a position of
safety. It should be easily movable and other support
surface is not required. Thus, the design has been
developed considering all the above requirements. This is
the beneficial in lifting and lowering of loads.
