Abstract
Development of Parametric CAD Model and Structural Analysis of the Car Jack
Highlights
A mechanical jack is a device which lifts heavy equipment and vehicles so that maintenance can be carried out underneath
The most common reason for using a car jacks is a change of tire, but it can be used for various other repairs [1]
The goal of this paper was to develop a parametric CAD model of a car jack. This model was used to carry out numerical structural analysis of the car jack, according to the maximal load specified by the production specification
Summary
A mechanical jack is a device which lifts heavy equipment and vehicles so that maintenance can be carried out underneath. The most common reason for using a car jacks is a change of tire, but it can be used for various other repairs [1]. There are a lot of different car jacks designs available at the market. They can be divided into two main groups: mechanicalbased (thread spindle) and hydraulic-based. The most important characteristics of every car jack are lift height, load capacity, and static stability during lifting. Stability is especially important for safe lifting. Stability is mostly defined by the shape and design of the car jack
