Pneumatic Scissor Lift Jack Project

Download Project Document/Synopsis

A jack is a device that uses force to lift heavy loads. The primary mechanism with which force is applied varies, depending on the specific type of jack, but is typically a screw thread or a hydraulic cylinder. Scissor-type jacks are frequently used as lifting systems in the industry. These systems are mainly preferred to do maintenance, repair, and clean. Pneumatic jacks provide the means of lifting loads that otherwise could not be lifted by conventional mechanical which is screw and scissors type jacks. A common pneumatic jack with a lever arm and pump has mechanical advantages built into it. In this pneumatic scissor lift jack project, when the pressurized air is applied to the pneumatic cylinder, it will move the cylinder piston. The piston movement is up and down motion due to pneumatic cylinder mechanism. So, the pressurized air goes to the pneumatic cylinder and moves the piston upward, so that the vehicle lifts from ground. A car jack is a mechanical device that allows drivers and mechanics to get underneath a car, usually to change a tire, oil or some car parts like breaks.
