Abstract

Car breakdowns on Expressways is very dangerous. At times we need to lift the

vehicle for changing the punctured wheel. The conventional method for lifting cars
is to use a manually operated scissor jack which needs human effort. Scissor jack is
a mechanical device used to lift heavy loads or apply great forces. It applies
mechanical advantage concept i.e., the factor by which a mechanism multiplies the
force or torque applied to it. Its common application is to lift cars during maintenance
or changing the tire. People find it very difficult to use a manually operated scissor
jack and more over the emergency tire changing process has multiple opportunities
for improvement and innovation.so, we have chosen power scissor jack as a solution.
The purpose of this project is to fabricate a power scissor jack, driven by gear train
which is in turn powered by car battery. It is achieved sequentially by selecting the
cross section of links, material selection, load considerations, specifications, design
and drawing, selection of power drive, fabrication and testing.
