Design and Fabrication of an Automated Two-Way Rotational Car Screw Jack

Abstract

The research aims to develop an innovative and efficient car-lifting device for vehicle maintenance and emergency applications. The primary objective is to automate the operation of the traditional scissors jack using a two-way rotational mechanism, eliminating the manual effort typically required. This enhancement ensures ease of use, reduced physical strain, and faster operation, making it particularly beneficial for a wide range of users, including those with limited physical strength. The design incorporates a robust and compact structure, ensuring stability and safety during vehicle lifting. A reversible motor with a gear system powers the jack, enabling smooth upward and downward motion. The two-way rotational mechanism allows for effortless adjustment, ensuring precise control during operation. Safety features such as load limiters and anti-slip pads are integrated to enhance reliability and prevent accidents. The fabrication process involves selecting high-strength materials to withstand heavy loads and implementing cost-effective manufacturing techniques to maintain affordability. The prototype undergoes rigorous testing under various load conditions to evaluate its performance, durability, and safety. This automated scissors car jack offers significant advantages over traditional jacks, including reduced time and effort for vehicle lifting, making it a practical solution for both individual users and commercial automotive services. The project contributes to the development of user-friendly, efficient, and reliable automotive tools, aligning with modern technological advancements and addressing real-world challenges in vehicle maintenance.
