INTRODUCTION
 Jack is a mechanical device used to lift heavy loads or
apply great forces. A mechanical jack employs a square
thread for lifting heavy equipment. The most common
form is a car jack, floor jack or garage jack which lifts
vehicles so that maintenance can be performed.
 To reduce the risk of getting injury in the case of
malfunctioning of the device the motorized jacking
system enables operator to be at a safe distance during
the jacking process
 A mechanical toggle jack is operated by rotation of
lead screw. In this case of a jack, a small force applied
in the horizontal plane is used to lift very large weight.
The compressive force of jackscrew is obtained through
the tension force applied by its lead screw.
COMPONENTS
 Lead Screw jack= 2 ton.
 High torque 12v dc motor.
 Gearbox.
 Switching mechanism.
 Metal structure.
  WORKING OF ELECTRIC JACK
 The electric jack will lift a vehicle chassis in contact with the top
section in working condition, when the power screw is rotated through
its connecting gear with the pinion after electrical power applied to the
motor when plugged to the 12V battery in car. Motor transmits its
rotating power to the pinion gear meshing with the bigger gear
connected to the power screw to be rotated with required speed
reduction and increased torque to drive the power screw connected with
it. The power screw rotates within the threaded bore of side member in
the clockwise direction that will cause the links to be goes along the
threaded portion towards each other during load-lifting process and vice
versa. Initially the jack will first be placed below the vehicle to be lifted
such that at least a small clearance will exist between the top plate and
the vehicle chassis to be lifted. Then after power screw will be turned so
that the top section makes contact with the car chassis and the
clearance space will be eliminated. As contact is made with car, load of
car will be increasingly shifted to the top plate and cause forces to be
developed in and transmitted through links and side member of the
electric jack. The force transmitted through the side member will be
transferred on threads of screw of electric jack. By switching circuit
connected to the motor we can regulate the rising and lowering process
of car.

METHODOLOGY
 As per group discussion, we prepared
presentation and report of motorized car jack.
 We purchase the required parts as per list.
 Then we construct motorized jack according
to the design.
 Test the all parts of jack.
 Manufactured the required parts.
 Done some welding, cutting, grinding & drilling
process to complete the work as per design.
 Made all the electrical connection to run the
motor
GEARS
 Gearing system-A gear is a rotating machine part having cut teeth which
mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque, in most cases
with teeth on the one gear being of identical shape, and often also with that
shape on the other gear. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a
transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio
and thus may be considered a simple machine. Geared devices can change
the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. When two gears mesh,
and one gear is bigger than the other (even though the size of the teeth
must match), a mechanical advantage is produced, with the rotational
speeds and the torques of the two gears differing in an inverse relationship.
 Electric motor-As we are going to use car Battery the motor used should
essentially be a 12V DC motor with sufficient torque to overcome the thread
friction and to raise the load.
 A bidirectional DC motor circuit-We can build a DC motor circuit which is
capable of spinning forward and in reverse with the flip of a switch, so that
the motor can spin forwards or backwards when we want it to. To build a
bidirectional DC motor circuit, we need to use a switch, so that we can go
back and forth when we want between forward motion and reverse motion.
SPECIFICATIONS
 It is having following specifications:-
 Drive ; worm and worm gear
 • Capacity : 500 Kg of concentrated load with concentrated centre of
gravity.
 • Unit Weight ;-15 kg
 • Maximum Lift ; 300 mm from the ground level.
 • Minimum ground clearance required ; 150 mm from the ground.
APPLICATIONS
 This equipment is mainly used for lifting an
vehicles for maintenance purpose.
 Can be used to lift any object with in the
lifting capacity.
ADVANTAGES
 Fast operation
 No human efforts required
 No risk to human as it is operated from safe
distance in case of slippage of jack.
 Easy to operate no skilled person required.
 Low operation cost.
DISADVANTAGES
 Electrical supply of 12v is required from
vehicle battery which can drain the battery
of the vehicle.
CONCLUSION
 The existing mechanical toggle jack was
modified by making small adjustment and
making use of an electric motor to drive power
screw, connecting gears with the pinion
mounted on the shaft of motor. The
automobile 12V battery source is used to
operate prime mover (motor), to shallow
weight lifting easier. The aspiration is to design
a car jack that is reliable, free from danger
and able to lift and lower the level, to design
and develop a car jack that is powered by car
battery is self and automated by button system
