Abstract

In this paper, a scissor jack was designed and analyzed which can be used for lifting the vehicle in vertical direction. A scissor jack is an example of a power screw in which a small force is applied in a horizontal plane for raising or lowering a large load. The purpose of this work is to design a scissor jack for safe, easy operation and which will able to lift the car without spending much effort, by studying the total deformation and von-mises stress values of the scissor jack which are useful for assessing the safety and life prediction of the scissor jack. A detailed structural analysis of scissor jack is performed using ANSYS and this analysis helps to predict which parts of the scissor jack fails when a certain external load acts on it.
