Bottle Jack Design

The document discusses force analyses and calculations for components of a hydraulic jack, including: - Calculating the pin, human, fulcrum, and plunge forces using equilibrium equations. - Relating the plunge and ram forces based on their cross-sectional areas using Pascal's principle. - Calculating the minimum and designed cylinder pressures based on the given lifting capacity and assumed dimensions. - Selecting design values that satisfy the minimum pressure requirement. It then briefly introduces a stress analysis and design of an extension screw.

Force analyses

FOR JACK HANDLE AND PUMP FORCE

FIG 1 shows mechanisms of jack handle and pump force

Where

 Fp=pin force
 FH=human force (usually it is taken to be (100 to 200)
 FF=fulcrum force
 L=overall handle length (again most of the time to be taken (300-500mm))
 A=pin to pin length (it also taken (30-50mm))

Using equilibrium condition;

ΣMA =0

ΣMA =0

(FH x L) – (FF x a) = 0

F h∗L
FF = ............................ (1)
a

2) Σ F y = 0

FF-FP-FH = 0

FP=FF – FH ................................ (2)

*Substitute equation (1) into (2) we have;

FP= FF (1-L/a) …………………………………………. (3)


Pressure distribution
By using Pascal’s principles, that is intensity of pressure is transmitted equally in a
directions through a mass of fluid at a plunger.

A force FP is applied to the plunge and a force F R is applied to the rams. Since the force at
two cylinders will be proportional to their respective cross-sectional areas. Pressure is the
same everywhere it is easy to solve the force applied on ram and plunge

Therefore F =PA= P (πr 2)

But Pram=Pp.......................................Pascal’s principle

Fram Fpunge
<=> = where,
Aram A plunge

Aram =πdr2/4

DR = diameter of the ram

π d p2
AP =

D p =diameter of the plunge

Fr Fp

Since, FR/AR=FP/AP => π d r = π dp
4 4

FR/d r 2= Fp/d p 2

F R=(F p /d p2 )∗d r 2………………………………………….(4)


π D P x DP
But, A P = ..................cylinder bore area (circular area)
4

D P ....................plunge diameter varies (10 to 16mm) it is standard.

From this range let use DP =12mm

π D P x DP
And, therefore A P =

And pressure of the pump is given by,

Fp
P pump = where, A p ......plunge cross-sectional area and
Ap

P pump ...........pump pressure

Fp
This implies that P pump = ..................... (5)
Ap

* Using Pascal’s law,

P pump=PPLUNGE = Pram = PCY

Therefore, Pp = P c Pc=Fc/Ac where Pc=cylinder pressure

Ac =cylinder cross-sectional area

Fc=cylinder force

Fc/Ac = (N/mm2) or Mpa.................................... (5)

Pressure range selection

Assumption: assume that the internal cylinder diameter and the hollow ram diameter are
equal. Therefore, DCR = DHR

Where DCI = internal cylinder diameter


DHR =hollow ram diameter

Let assume that DHR= DCI= 70mm

Therefore, Ac =D 2HR/4

Ac = πx702/4 = 3846.5mm2

Hence the minimum pressure to raise the given weight is:-

F
PCMIN = where: = F= 73.575KN........... is the given design capacity calculated
Ac

73.575 x 103 N
force, PCMIN= =19.13Mpa
3846.5mm 2

Therefore

PCMIN = 19.13MPa, the internal pressure to be designed should be greater than the
minimum pressure since there are parts to be lifted with this pressure.

Hence PCDESIGN > Pc min=19.13MPa

In order to find the internal design pressure, length of the handle, force of fulcrum, plunge
force and pin to pin length first let us assume the human force and length range for handle.

Assuming Fh = 200N from the range of (100N to 200N)

And L = (300mm to 500mm), assuming, L =450mm

a= (30mm to 50mm, and also assume, a = 35mm

By using equation (1) to equation (2)

F H∗L
FF =
a

200❑∗450
FF =
35

FF = 2571.428KN

FP=FF – FH

FP= (2571.428- 200) KN

FP =2371.428KN
FP
PC = = where AP is area of the plunge
A

A=πd2/4 assume the diameter of plunge is 12 mm

( 2371.428 )∗4
Pc= = 20.978 MPa
3.14∗12∗12

Finally, from the above, Pcylinder must be greater than Pc min=19.13MPa. For this reason, the
selected quantities are: -

L = 450 mm, F f = 2571.428N, F p = 2371.428N

a =35mm, P p = 20.978MPa

Stress analysis

Design of extension screw

We have selected square thread screw. Because


of the fallowing reason;

 They can easily manufactured

 They have high efficiency.

 Widely used for transmission of power in either direction.

 They offer less frictional resistance to motion
