CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

A jack, screw jack or jackscrew is a mechanical device used as a lifting device to lift

heavy loads that requires great forces. A mechanical jack employs a screw thread for lifting

heavy loads. A hydraulic jack uses hydraulic power. The most common form is a car

jack, floor jack or garage jack, bottle jack and scissor jack which lifts vehicles so that

maintenance can be performed.

Jacks are usually rated for a maximum lifting capacity (for example, 1.5 tons or 3

tons). Industrial jacks can be rated for many tons of load. Moreover some jacks were

designed to operate on a limited height depending on the size of the jack and its load

capacity. The bigger the load capacity the higher the base height limit application of the

jack. This is where the scissor jack is of a great advantage considering its base height limit

application which is more or less four inches which make it conveniently applicable to cars

which has lower jacking points.

Scissor jacks originally are driven by screw which has a handle attached at the end to

move the jacking plate up and down. It requires a certain amount of human energy to drive

the jack.

A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct

current electrical energy into mechanical energy. A DC motor's speed can be controlled over

a wide range, using either a variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in

its field windings. Small DC motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances. The universal

motor can operate on direct current but is a lightweight brushed motor used for portable

power tools and appliances. Larger DC motors are used in propulsion of electric vehicles,

elevator and hoists, or in drives for steel rolling mills.

With the variety of DC motors applications, types and sizes which makes human life

easier and convenient the idea comes into the creative mind of the researchers to eliminate

further the use of human energy in driving the mechanical scissor jack and replace it with a

DC motor. This device will lift the car easily with less time, force and effort.

Statement of Project Objective

The main objective of this study is to design and construct a motorized scissor jack

and determine its efficiency.

Specifically, this study aimed to satisfy the following objectives:

1. Design a motorized scissor jack.

2. Construct a motorized scissor jack.

3. Determine the capabilities and limitations of the motorized scissor jack.

4. Determine the efficiency of the motorized scissor jack in terms of,

4.1 safety

4.2 durability

4.3 functionality

Significance of the Study

DIY mechanics. The result of this study will reduce the human energy exerted by

the mechanics when lifting cars.

Car owner. The study would provide car owners with a personal handy device for

lifting car especially when changing tires and other emergency car check up on the road.

The future researcher. The study would help increase the knowledge of future

researchers in developing devices that would reduce effort and energy in doing heavy

manual works.

Scope and Limitation

The study cover the design and fabrication of motorized scissor jack. The common

scissor jack was attached to a wiper motor that made it easy to operate less the human

energy used to drive the jack to lift the car. In order to develop new concept of the four

wheeler stand jack design, we do some research on by giving questionnaire to four wheeler

user. The scope of this research was on the designing two (2) ton maximum lifting capacity

of motorized scissor jack.

In minimizing the human power, the concepts that was used in this product are

the combination of a DC wiper motor and a mechanical screw jack. By this, the human

energy exerted to lift was reduced. The motorized scissor jack concept is a simple adaption

of a wiper motor and a scissor jack attached to a metal platform that served as the base to

perfectly balance the weight of the scissor jack and the attached wiper motor. This study was

conducted at the President Ramon Magsaysay State University, College of Industrial

Technology, Iba Campus.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter presented related information basic to the project study in the field of

Automotive Technology. The discussion adopted the thematic approach on the following

topics: the application operation and definition of motorized scissor jack and the concluding

statement.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Wiper motor

Windshield wipers are powered by a small electric motor, usually mounted on the

firewall or under the cowl (the area under the windshield’s base). The motor activates

linkage that moves the wiper arms back and forth. On vehicles with a rear window wiper, a

separate motor powers the one in the rear.

Signs that a wiper motor is about to fail include slow or intermittent operation,

wipers that will operate at only one speed, or arms that stop in the middle of the windshield

when turned off. If your wipers don’t work, the fault could also lie with other parts of the

wiper system. In the winter, for example, trying to use the wipers when the blades are stuck

to the windshield because of ice or snow can blow the fuse for the motor or trip a circuit

breaker.

Other possible causes are the interior switch that controls the wipers failing, wires in

the system being damaged, or the linkage that pushes and pulls the wiper arms breaking.

Moving parts in the linkage may also be stuck from corrosion and/or gunk and need

lubrication.

Bottled Jack

A bottle jack, stand jack or whiskey jack is a jack which resembles a bottle in shape,

having a cylindrical body and a neck. Within is a vertical lifting ram with a support pad of

some kind fixed to the top. The jack may be hydraulic or work by screw action. In the

hydraulic version the hydraulic ram emerges from the body vertically by hydraulic pressure

provided by a pump either on the baseplate or at a remote location via a pressure hose. With

a single action piston the lift range is somewhat limited, so its use for lifting vehicles is

limited to those with a relatively high clearance. For lifting structures such as houses the

hydraulic interconnection of multiple vertical jacks through valves enables the even

distribution of forces while enabling close control of the lift. The screw version of the bottle

jack works by turning a large nut running on the threaded vertical ram at the neck of the

body. The nut has gear teeth and is turned by a bevel gear spigotted to the body, the bevel

gear being turned manually by a jack handle fitting into a square socket. The ram may have

a second screwed ram within it, which doubles the lifting range telescopically.

Bottle jacks have a capacity of up to 50 tons and may be used to lift a variety of

objects. Typical uses include the repair of automobiles and house foundations. Larger,

heavy-duty models may be known as a barrel jack.

This type of jack is best used for short vertical lifts. Blocks may be used to repeat the

operation when a greater amount of elevation is required.

Figure 6. Bottled Jack

Ball Screw Jacks .

Most prevalent are worm gear screw jacks because they can lift heavy loads with

little input torque. The large mechanical advantage is through a worm gear ranging from 5:1

to 32:1 in combinations with lead screw or a ball screw.

Figure 7. Ball screw jacks

Ball screw jacks differ from machine screw jacks in a few key ways. Machine screw

jacks are typically used to move heavy loads in low-duty-cycle setups and low-speed

[Link] it uses an acme screw it can (in some cases) self-lock to resist

“Global education to local communities.”

 COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY 10

backdriving as well — meaning it will hold position without the presence of power or a

mechanical brake.

In contrast, ball screw jacks are common where higher speeds and duty cycles are

[Link] addition, because of the higher efficiency of the ball screw (compared to a

machine screw) ball screw jacks can decrease motor horsepower and other electrical

requirements.

There are two basic types of screw jacks of which a few additional styles originate.

First, there are translating screw jacks. These types of screw jacks use a lift shaft or screw

that travels into or out from the worm gear box. The lift shaft can either protrude from the

mounting flange side of the gearbox or from the top side of the worm gear box. Secondly,

are rotating type screw jacks. In this style, the lift shaft remains stationary and a lifting nut

moves along the lift shaft. Much like the translating screw jacks the screw can also protrude

down from the mounting flange or up from the top of the jack. To produce translation of the

lift shaft or nut, both configurations must be secured to prevent rotation. Where this is

unfeasible, keyed screw jacks are an option.

There are two main types of scissor jacks:

 Hydraulic or Electronic Scissor Jacks – these are the ones often found in

automobile shops, vehicle service centers, and related businesses. These jacks lift vehicles

up off the ground to perform certain tasks, including maintenance, repairs, and diagnostics.

“Global education to local communities.”

 COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY 20

Figure 19. Scissor jacks are the workhorse of the warehouse.

These are definitely the right choice for more professional car inspections and

repairs. Hydraulic scissor jacks are necessary to have when performing complex procedures

on the vehicle.

 Manual Jacks – these are the more common type of scissor jacks. Laymen

are familiar with this kind of scissor jack. It is much smaller and often comes with both used

and new vehicles, along with a spare tire. It can easily fit inside the trunk of a car. It is a

necessary tool to always have with you because you can easily use it in case you have a flat

tire situation while on the road. If you are buying a used car, be sure to check the trunk and

make sure this jack is also included, together with the owner’s manual.

Manual scissor jacks are usually used to lift only one corner of the vehicle. You

place the jack right behind the wheel, and it lifts up that side of the car. This allows you to

check out or work on a wheel that might be flat or damaged. However, if you require a more

complicated maintenance or repair service, it’s good to have more than just one of these

“Global education to local communities.”

 COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY 21

jacks around. A lot of car owners who do DIY repairs and diagnostics invest in having

several jacks so that they can get access to the vehicle’s underside. Making sure that the

jacks are sturdy and solid is crucial in keeping the position of the car steady, at the same

time ensuring the safety of the person inspecting the vehicle.

Depending on where it will be used and who will use it, finding the right type of

scissor jack is crucial in the task at hand. For both types, quality is important to ensure

safety and security for the person and the vehicle.

Manual or standard scissor jack is the one that can be found in the trunk of almost

every vehicle. If you carry a spare tire, you probably also carry an old standard scissor jack

somewhere in there, too.

The mechanism of a standard jack is simple — you turn the lever clockwise (or

counterclockwise, depending on the model), which then sets off the scissor-like mechanism

and elevates the car. Turning the handle the other way round should do the opposite, or in

this case, lower the car.

Once you’re done using it, you can compress the jack and store it anywhere. It’s

incredibly easy to handle, store, and transport. Another advantage of manual scissor jacks

is their affordability.

If you don’t have a manual scissor jack, you should definitely get one just in case.

The Torin Big Red T10152 isn’t anything fancy. It’s made out of heavy duty steel,

weighing 7.7 pounds. It has a large base (4.5×6 inches) and saddle that provides that extra

stability you need on the soft ground. It can go as high as 15.4 inches but collapses to a

height of 3.7 inches. And it is a little larger compared to most scissor jacks which make it

hard to store in the small compartment where the original jack is located. It has a 1.5-ton

capacity which can lift an SUV quite easily.

If you plan on a level a large trailer or pop-up, then a pair of Eaz-Lift 48830s is what

you need. These jacks can provide a solid rock base for your camper with their combined

ability to stabilize a heavy load of up to 7500 lbs. The jacks have a maximum rise of 24

inches and can go as low as 4 inches for storing. The black powder finish provides

protection from rust. What we really like is the presence of the scissor jack socket which

Electric Scissor Jack

Electrical jacks work and look the same as the manual ones, except they work on

electricity instead of pushing strength. Obviously, they are quite practical and easy to use.

They can be activated with a mere press of a button.

Because they are more complex, electrical scissor jacks are much heavier and bulkier

than manual jacks when they’re compressed.

But the main disadvantage of electrical jacks is definitely their price. They can cost

several hundreds of dollars. After all, it’s usually professional mechanics who use this kind

of tools.

Still, if you look hard enough, you can catch a good deal once in a while. For

example, the

A scissor jack is an excellent tool for getting you out of an unplanned hitchhiking

session. Some types of scissor jacks will give you a steady base for your trailer. In short, a

scissor jack will allow you to lift or stabilize a heavy load using a bit of physics, a strong

metal, and some elbow grease.

“Global education to local communities.”

 COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY 30

However, while scissor jacks all have the same basic design, they don’t all operate

the same. Some are rated to bear heavier loads like SUVs and trailers while others are

specifically designed to lift motorcycles and ATVs. So, how does one go about choosing the

best scissor jack then? Well, there are 6 factors you should consider before you pull out your

wallet.

To be an efficient tool, your scissor jack must fulfill its intended purpose. Some

jacks like the Torin Big Red T10152 Steel Scissor Jack are specifically designed to lift 3000

lbs of weight – perfect for changing the flat tire of your car. Another type of jack is the

stabilizing scissor jack like the Eaz-Lift 48830 24″ Stabilizing Scissor Jack which is used to

provide a steady base for trailers such as horse trailers, RVs, and cargo trailers. These

typically have a weight capacity of 5000 to 6500 lbs.

You’ll be lifting or stabilizing really heavy loads so you want to make sure that the

material used to construct your jack is strong enough that it won’t buckle down under the

weight. A lightweight jack can be used for lifting a small vehicle but you’ll need heavy-duty

steel to level a trailer.

Just like the weight capacity, the maximum height of a scissor jack determines what

it can be used for. A car and a motorcycle have different frames and would need to be lifted

to different heights. Make sure that the scissor jack you choose has enough height that you

won’t need to look for height extenders. Also, a low profile vehicle will require a low profile

scissor jack. What use is your jack if you can’t even fit it under your load in order to lift it?

The point of having a scissor jack is to raise a heavy load up and down. Obviously,

you’ll want to get one that has a smooth operation. Most scissor jacks are operated by a

handle or crank included by the manufacturer. Some jacks such as the Libra 5000 lb 24″ RV

“Global education to local communities.”

 COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY 31

Trailer Stabilizer Leveling Scissor Jacks and the Eaz-Lift 48830 24″ Stabilizing Scissor

Jack come with a socket that allows you to use an electric power drill, making the entire

process a whole lot easier and less sweaty.

Your scissor jack will probably get exposed to the elements at some point, especially

if you’re using it to level or stabilize a heavy load. This means that you’ll definitely benefit

from getting a jack that will not rust, providing you with long years of service. The BAL

24028 LoPro Scissors Jack features a high-tech coating that is highly corrosion resistant.

This is a very important feature that should not be overlooked. A wide base ensures

the stability of your scissor jack and the load it carries even when placed on the uneven or

soft ground. The wider the base, the more stable your jack will be. The Ultra-Fab Products

48-979006 24″ Ultra Scissor Jack and the Husky 76862 24 Stabilizing Scissor Jack are two

scissor jacks that have really wide bases.

Whether you’re looking for a scissor jack to keep in your trunk for emergencies or to

help you create a steady base for your trailer, it’s important that you make the right choice

based on all these factors we’ve mentioned. Because the wrong jack is a risk you should

never take.

Research Literature

One of the earliest recorded instances of an electric starter motor was in 1896, when

British engineer H.J. Dowsing installed one on his Arnold. William Arnold & Sons was a

manufacturer of agricultural equipment that acquired a license to produce Benz vehicles in

England, and the Arnold in question was based on the Benz Velo. Dowsing equipped it with

a dynamotor that he coupled to the flywheel, which was then used to start the

engine and provide assistance on hills.

“Global education to local communities.”

 COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY 32

It would be almost two decades after H.J. Dowsing altered his Arnold before a

production vehicle shipped with an electric starter. Although electricity was available from

batteries, and a handful of automobiles from the turn of the century even ran on electricity,

gasoline-powered vehicles at the time lacked electrical systems or any way of recharging the

batteries.

In 1903, Clyde J. Coleman invented and patented the first electric starter in

America U.S. Patent 0,745,157.

In 1911, Charles F. Kettering, with Henry M. Leland, of Dayton Engineering

Laboratories Company (DELCO), invented and filed U.S. Patent 1,150,523 for an electric

starter in America. (Kettering had replaced the hand crank on NCR's cash registers with an

electric motor five years earlier.)
