    An Electrically Operated Screw

    An electrically operated screw jack is described that consists of a base, housing, lifting ram, servo motor, reduction gears, safety clutch, and remote control. The remote control allows heavy objects to be lifted remotely without manual control. The screw jack uses gears and an RF module to transmit signals from the remote to the motor via an HT12E encoder and HT12D decoder. It provides advantages over hydraulic jacks by being self-locking under load. Screw jacks find applications where heavy, precise loads must be supported through intermittent positioning.

    INTRODUCTION: an electrically operated screw-type jack comprising a support base, a housing, a jack body, a lifting ram which is contained

    in the jack body, a servo motor which is contained in the housing, reduction gears for transmitting the driving power of the motor to lifting ram, a safety device prevent the motor and the power transmitting mechanism from an abrupt failure due to overloading, and a square head pin for conventional hand operation of the jack when the jack is overloaded. The safety device consists of a clutch disk, a clutch spring and a sleeve. The reduction gears consist of first sun and planet gears, second sun and planet gears and a sun gear cylinder. The remote is used for control the jack from distance. in case of heavy object the jack can be operated remotely. No need to control manually. Remote-Controlled-Screw-Jack was first used in military fire-control and marine navigation equipment. Today servomechanisms are used in automatic machine tools, satellite-tracking antennas, and remote control airplanes, automatic navigation systems on boats and planes, and antiaircraft-gun control systems. Other examples are fly-by-wire systems in aircraft which use servos to actuate the aircrafts control surfaces, and radio-controlled models which use RC servos for the same purpose. Many autofocus cameras also use a servomechanism to accurately move the lens, and thus adjust the focus.

    Component description: Screw jeck:


    A jackscrew is a type of jack which is operated by turning a leadscrew. In the form of a screw jack it is commonly used to lift heavy weights such as the foundations of houses, or large vehicles

    ADVANTAGE:
    An advantage of jackscrews over some other types of jack is that they are self-locking, which means when the rotational force on the screw is removed, it will remain motionless where it was left and will not rotate backwards, regardless of how much load it is supporting. This makes them inherently safer than hydraulic jacks, for example, which will move backwards under load if the force on the hydraulic actuator is accidentally released.

    Applications
    A jackscrew's threads must support heavy loads. In the most heavy-duty applications, such as screw jacks, a square thread or buttress thread is used, because it has the lowest friction. In other application such as actuators, an Acme thread is used, although it has higher friction. The large area of sliding contact between the screw threads means jackscrews have high friction and low efficiency as power transmission linkages, around 30%50%. So they are not

    often used for continuous transmission of high power, but more often in intermittent positioning applications. The Ball screw is a more advanced type of leadscrew that uses a recirculating-ball nut to minimize friction and prolong the life of the screw threads. The thread profile of such screws is semicircular to properly mate with the bearing balls. The disadvantage to this type of screw is that it is not self-locking. Jackscrews form vital components in equipment. For instance, the failure of a jackscrew on a McDonnell Douglas MD80 airliner due to a lack of grease resulted in the crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 off the coast of California in 2000. The jackscrew figured prominently in the classic novel Robinson Crusoe. It was also featured in a recent History Channel program as the saving tool of the Pilgrims' voyage the main crossbeam, a key structural component of their small ship, cracked during a severe storm. A farmer's jackscrew secured the damage until landfall.
