2. Internship experience
2.1. How we get into this company?
We send our application letter to MOENCO through our university by email and after 2 weeks they
told us they will accept us with warm face and good sense of humor. Next, we joined the company
and stay there for about three months.
In our four-year mechanical engineering experience, we began to realize that this world is only can go
far in innovation and creating things that uses to provide for humans best need to achieve their needs
energy is must. Especially mechanical energy. In the study of mechanical engineering many problems
are solved and if the study widens its horizon students are able to solve many problems related to
industries in the future. In our world of competition vehicles provide a best track to let everyone do
what he/she want and to win the race. We are one of the competent we prefer to win our race by
studying the track provider (vehicles) this motivation encouraged us to know more about designs of
the cars and their systems.
In Ethiopia there are many companies that relate their job in servicing of vehicles and automobiles
like Rise engineering, Nyala motors, MOENCO, National Motors, marathon motors, belayab motors.
From these companies we get the one which has many services, facilities and well-organized company
that is MOENCO branch in Adama.
Gondar University 4th year mechanical engineering student’s internship program is appropriate for
increasing student’s practical knowledge. The letters that ask for internees to do their internship
program in the MOENCO is given to us. The latter is accepted by the company HR and they allow as
joining the Moenco staffs and workers after 3 weeks of application.

3. OVER ALL INTERNSHIP BENEFIT
The internship is defined as, ―work experience with clear learning objectives‖. Internship programs can
lend support to academic programs and to institutional initiatives involving student recruitment and
retention. Internship programs can assist with skill development, such as writing skills, oral
communication and computer skills, initiative, time management skills, dependability, professional
skills, interaction with others, ability to contribute, the overall quality of work and attitude. Studies have
found that internships are typically completed while a student is enrolled in other academic courses.
Enrollment in an internship course can provide students the additional benefits of earning course credit,
as they connect classroom theory to the workplace.
Our internship was: -
A structured work experience related to our major and/or career goal
An experience that should enhance our academic, career, and personal development
supervised by a professional in the field
An experience that can be one academic term (one semester term in length)
It was unpaid
An experience that is mutually agreed upon by us, the supervisor and/or faculty member
Depending on the field the experience might also be called a practicum or coop
3.1. Upgrading Theoretical Knowledge
There is a slight difference between what we have learned in class and the practical work around
companies. However, having a deep knowledge about the practical work makes us more intensive for
the theoretical knowledge.
It enhances our theoretical knowledge by integrating academic principles to practical work. Gave
us a better understanding of the concepts we learned in class. It allowed us to practice the
theories we learned.
Theory wise we learned how to read manuals and have better understanding. It also allowed us to
have more exposure to different machine drawings and manuals.
Moreover, we have upgraded what we have learned in class. Among these are:
1

4. Conclusion & Recommendation
4.1. Conclusion
The internship is defined as, ―work experience with clear learning objectives. Internship programs can
lend support to academic programs and to institutional initiatives involving student recruitment and
retention. Internship programs can assist with skill development, such as writing skills, oral
communication and computer skills, initiative, time management skills, dependability, professional
skills, interaction with others, ability to contribute, the overall quality of work and attitude. Studies have
found that internships are typically completed while a student is enrolled in other academic courses.
Enrollment in an internship course can provide students the additional benefits of earning course credit,
as they connect classroom theory to the workplace.
During internship period we tried to work and learn some of the duties and tasks in repair and service
shop. We have acquired adequate knowledge about the mechanics of automobile, its systems and sub-
systems in a simplified manner. We have also dealt with the essential construction and principles of
operation of various components as a part of total vehicle system. Moreover, we tried to grasp basic
knowledge and skill that are necessary and sufficient to maintain and provide service for modern
automobiles. While working with our coworkers we gained many experiences and habits like Respect for
each other, Caring for environment, Winning together, integrity without compromise and other
beneficiary habits.

UNIVERSTIY OF GONDAR, IOT
4.2. Recommendation
We recommended MOENCO to improve and soften the challenges that may be faced. Far too little
attention is paid by the company on addressing the problems. We have a lot to recommend but few of
them are only mentioned here.
The delays of hours being counted by computer, as a result the customer have to pay for the delay. The
power ranch and the sockets used must be maintained or replaced by new in order to increase the
efficiency of work. And also arc welding and MIG welding machines which are not operating should be
maintained and used as an alternative. Most Importantly the company must focus on quality work rather
than time it takes to maintain a car in giving efficiency to the workers which eliminates come back and
improve quality working. Also, we recommend that the company must give motivational speeches to the
workers for good mind set. Safety materials for all the welding types, sanding, and grinding such as
gloves, goggles and others are not enough. Otherwise, the workers that are carelessly doing their job
may face a series internal and external injury and may lose his precious life. The main issues about
washing engine by benzene and cleaning air filter by using pressurized air is also have to be addressed
well.
The rigidity of the company is not limited but extended to not to provide resource and facilities such as
library, internet access, physical fitness center and other reference materials for the intern students and
workers to progress for any type of intended project for further insight should be fulfilled.
On the other hand, neither no pocket money is given by the company nor the pocket money given by the
university to the internship students is enough. It may be difficult to survive for students from poor
background. The serious of sense of punctuality and team working in the company should be admired
and promoted for further success.

Abstract
Telescopic Transmission Jack allows you to remove, install, and transport transmissions and transfer
cases on vehicles supported by lifts.in case of maintenance and service time. some issue or problem
occur to change or service the transmission (gear box) when replace of clutch disk, some of the issues
like time consumption, safety of the workers. The objective of this project is to design clamp for
hydraulic telescopic transmission jack. In this process, selection of characteristics of material,
components and calculation has been mainly carried out to determine a rage of parameters, such as
clamp arm, clam support, clamp adjuster bolt and nut, capacity of holding the load, length of the plate.
Several measurement techniques, formulas and selection component have been used to select the clamp
performance and reliably. After all tasks has been design properly, we have worked a three- dimensional
drawing of the clamp has been done in solid work software.

1.4. Justification
Clamp for hydraulic telescopic transmission jack is an important piece of machinery that can be very
useful in any modern mechanical workshops because it can facilitate the easy, safe and efficient work.
This is significant because: -
I. It uses more man power (labor force): most of time it takes more than two individuals to
perform this work and this kind of work process is not economical at all.
II. It is quit risk full to the mechanic: during the disassembly of gearbox there is high risk that
the gear box may fail on the mechanic leg and can cause different accidents.
III. The time lapse wasted during oil exchange: this especially happens on C-type and D-type
service of vehicles where the clutch is changed and gearbox maintenance. doing this
operation old way can take a long time.
IV. Damage on the part: the gearbox can be damaged due to unsafe disassembly and
installation.
V. It highly affects the profile of the company: if the company does not have good safety on
work area because of this problem the workers will not have good working condition and
affect their safety.

2. Literature Review
An inbuilt lifting and safety arrangements for a Four-Wheeler with a hydraulic cylinder jack system is
attached to automobile vehicle on front and rear part of the chassis. During puncture or some repairs
without lifting externally drop the hydraulic cylinder jack with a single button. For heavy vehicles like
truck, lorry etc., [6]
Hydraulic cylinder jacks are versatile because their horizontal position makes it possible to place them
in tight spots and provides good leverage. Hydraulic cylinder jacks have proven useful in search and
rescue missions following earthquake damage. As a result, Hydraulic cylinder jacks are standard
equipment in firehouses and for search and rescue teams. They are also used for elevating, thrusting,
weighing, or forcing requirements. The base of bottle jacks is welded for strength. All models of bottle
jacks are capable of working in erect, angled, or horizontal positions. JACKS became popular in the
early 1900s when the automobile industry began to take off. Also called hand jacks, bottle jacks
provided an easy way for an individual to lift up a vehicle for roadside inspection or service and now a
day in large company jacks are used for lift up and down transmission from the car. Generally, jacks are
weight to offer a lifting capability ranging from one hundred to several tons. Bottle jacks feature a
vertical shaft, which supports a platform (called a bearing pad) that directly bears the weight of the
object as it is lifted. Although they are most commonly used in the automobile industry (1.5-to-5-ton)
jacks are frequently used to lift cars), bottle or cylindrical jacks have other uses as well. In the medical
industry they can be used in hydraulic stretchers and patient lifts.[6]
Hydraulic jack works on the principle of ―Pascal ‘s law. When the handle is operated, the
plunger reciprocates then the oil from the reservoir is sucked into the plunger cylinder during
upward stroke of the plunger through the suction valve. The oil in the plunger cylinder is
delivered into the ram cylinder during the downward stroke of the plunger through the delivery
valve. This pressurized oil lifts the load up, which is placed on top plate of the ram. After the
work is completed the pressure in the ram cylinder is released by unscrewing the lowering screw
thus the pressure releases and the ram is lowered, then the oil is rushed into the reservoir.it
consists of plunger cylinder on one side and ram cylinder on the other side. These two cylinders
are mounted on base which is made of mild steel. Plunger cylinder consists of plunger which is
13
UNIVERSTIY OF GONDAR, IOT
used to build up the pressure by operating the handle. Plunger cylinder consists of two non-returns
valves i.e., one for suction and other for delivery. Ram cylinder consists of ram which lifts the
load. The ram cylinder connected to delivery valve of plunger cylinder. It is also consisting of
lowering screw this is nothing but a hand operated valve used for releasing the pressure in the
ram cylinder for get down the load. This project will build a prototype of hydraulic telescopic
transmission jack with for the maximum load (rated load) of 1000 Lbs. (1,000,000 kg) lifting capacity
that could be used in lifting. [5]
The advent of the industrial evolution which saw the major transition in history of manufacturing and
engineering process. All of this culture developed strong skill through century to ease the way of lifting
equipment had not fast progressed, although cranes, hoist and other equipment were limited use by their
default design manufactured, this created many problems to move heavy loaded material from place to
place because of the material to be moved were unable to fit with the hoist equipment. From decent
days, the hydraulic transmission telescopic jack fabricated in many loads capacity to lift, as we
discussed in the above generally about jack, we have found some gap relative to their design to lift the
load material they have lack of enough support to the material to be lifted. Now a day or currently
hydraulic telescopic transmission needs well-functioning clamp support to hold the transmission. [5]

When we were in the company, we observed different problems related to vehicle maintenance sections.
We observed that the assembling and disassembling of the transmission
Interview
From the company we have seen some problems. So, we asked different company workers that what
their main problem in vehicle maintaining process and many of them said while changing the clutch
more than four people leave their post and help to assemble the transmission and they suggested that if
the telescopic jack can grab and move the transmission. So, we are forced to design this project
Reference Used
As a reference we used from internet pdf, some text books, videos related to the assembly and
disassembly of the transmission.

iv) Design of elements: - find the size of each member of the machine by considering the forces
acting on each member and the permissible stresses for the materials used.
v) Detail drawing: -A detailed drawing of each component and the assembly of the machine with
complete specification for the manufacturing processes suggested.
3.2. General design considerations
Type of load and stresses caused by the load. The load, on the machine components, may act
in several ways due to the way the stresses are set up.
Motion of the parts or kinematics of the machine. The successful operation of any machine
depends largely up on the simplest arrangement of parts which then gives the motion required.
Form and size of the part. The form and size of the part are based on our judgment. The
smallest practicable cross section was used.
Convenient and economical feature. Designing the operating feature of the machine should be
undertaken after careful study.
Safety of the operation. Some machines are dangerous to operate especially machines which are
sped up to insure the production at maximum rate.
The working environment.
Total cost of the project.
Assembling
3.3. Components of clamp
Since a project is a combination of different components & mechanisms, this clamp has its own
mechanical components. Those are:
1. Plate
2. Clamp arm
3. Clamp Bolt
4. Clamp adjuster nut
5. Adjuster leaver
6. Clamp Support

For this reason, grey cast iron- as a material is selected for the frame (Appendix 1). Cast iron is cheap
and it can give any complex shape without involving costly machining operations. Cast iron has higher
compressive strength compared to steel. Therefore, it is technically and economically advantageous to
use cast iron for the plate. Graphite flakes cast iron with an ultimate tensile strength of 220MPa is
considered suitable for the design of the plate and clamp arms. The graphite flakes improve the ability to
resist compressive load.

t= =0.45mm
55 Mpa × 200 mm
σ = 0.8175Mpa; allowable stress is greater than induced stress. So; our design is safe.
4.3. Design of Clamp arm
The purpose of the clamp arm is to hold (grab) the transmission and it withstand compressive load
exerted on it by the weight of the transmission. For this reason, we use the same material as the plate
which is Graphite flakes cast iron with an ultimate tensile strength of 220MPa.

We select Mild steel type C material to design clamp bolts because of easily workable, very hard, yet
malleable, good for construction, easy to shape and machine and very flexible and can be harden.

The purpose of the plate is to support the transmission and it withstand compressive load exerted on it
by the weight of the transmission. For this reason, grey cast iron as a material is selected for the frame.
Cast iron is cheap and it can give any complex shape without involving costly machining operations.
Cast iron has higher compressive strength compared to steel. Therefore, it is technically and
economically advantageous to use cast iron for the plate. Graphite flakes cast iron with an ultimate

tensile strength of 220MPa is considered suitable for the design of the plate. The graphite flakes improve
the ability to resist compressive load.

5.2. Discussion
For this internship project, we have design a clamp support for hydraulic telescopic jack for
transmission(gear box) can withstand of hold average mass transmission of 500 kg a having plate area
of 60000mm2 and clamp arm with the thickness of 2.23, made from gray cast iron which gives a better
strength to the support, and also we have selected a good material for clam bolt and adjuster nut
sufficient for holding the transmission load, we were able to get good result of different stress on the
component of the clam support of the telescopic jack. In this process we have design plate, clamp arm,
clam bolt and adjuster, adjuster arm and support. All of these components are designed by using
appropriate formulas. In order to protect failure on the pressure vessel we have selected proper material
for each of the components and also, we have checked safety of the components by comparing stress of
the component with design stress to complete our design.

6.2. Recommendation
The project can be further modified by using sensors and electric devices in order to reduce the man
effort used on the object. The capacity for a process was confidential and some other information’s were
kept secret because of the company’s policy so if this data were known the project would be very
clearer. The internship time given was very short due to some factors. Also, this affected our project so if
this can be corrected in the next Bach. Most importantly the internship cost sharing was late which drown
as back in beginning aur project. Our cost is based on the manufacturer selling price.
