  2. Jackscrew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackscrew

    The maximum mechanical advantage possible for a hydraulic jack is not limited by the limitations on screw jacks and can be far greater. After World War II, improvements to the grinding of hydraulic rams and the use of O ring seals reduced the price of low-cost hydraulic jacks and they became widespread for use with domestic cars.

  3. Jack (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_(device)

    A mechanical jack employs a screw thread for lifting heavy equipment. A hydraulic jack uses hydraulic power. [1] The most common form is a car jack, floor jack or garage jack, which lifts vehicles so that maintenance can be performed. Jacks are usually rated for a maximum lifting capacity (for example, 1.5 tons or 3 tons).

  4. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    A screw jack. When a bar is inserted in the holes at top and turned it can raise a load. The mechanical advantage MA of a screw is defined as the ratio of axial output force F out applied by the shaft on a load to the rotational force F in applied to the rim of the shaft to turn it.

  5. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    A block and tackle of multiple pulleys creates mechanical advantage, by having the flexible material looped over several pulleys in turn. Adding more loops and pulleys increases the mechanical advantage. Screw: A screw is essentially an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. The run over the rise of this inclined plane is the mechanical ...

  6. Laboratory scissor jack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_scissor_jack

    The manual laboratory scissor jack works mechanically by having a central screw connected to the central piece of metal between two layers of crossing metal pieces. The screw performs the same task as screws in hydraulic car lift, supporting the metal pieces in withstanding the oppressing weight. [1]

  7. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    Mechanical actuators typically convert rotary motion of a control knob or handle into linear displacement via screws and/or gears to which the knob or handle is attached. A jackscrew or car jack is a familiar mechanical actuator. Another family of actuators are based on the segmented spindle. Rotation of the jack handle is converted ...
