CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In modern automated and robotized production lines the hydraulic drive has found an
ever-increasing application. This drive supersedes the mechanical, pneumatic and electric drives
in realizing straight-line translational and rotational motions of actuator. A confined fluid is one
of the most versatile means of modifying motion & transmitting power. fluid can move rapidly
in one part of its length and slowly in another. No other medium can combine the same degree of
positive ness, accuracy & flexibility while maintaining its ability to transmit maximum power in
minimum bulk & weight.
The advantages of the fluid have been integrated with the speed and flexibility to produce
hydraulic platform lifter. This machine developed is used particularly for lifting the load in
industrial lines where now a day the labor is higher . the machine finds wide applications in the
industries where load transmission from one place to another at particular height is to be done.
now days the hydraulic power is used in wide field of industries such as automobile hoist,
machine tool, fork lift, construction equipment, mining equipment etc
The hydraulic platform lifter consists of hydraulic power pack which is the source of
storing the hydraulic oil and for cooling of oil after the circulation of oil through the cylinders.
The base structure is made up of standard c channels which is capable of handling greater loads.
The hydraulic actuator consisting of cylinder, piston and all the other parts of the cylinder.

CHAPTER 3
LITERATURE SURVEY
HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
Hydraulic actuators, of which cylinders are the most common, are the devices providing
power and movement to automated systems, machines and processes. A hydraulic cylinder is a
simple, low cost, easy to install device that is ideal for producing powerful linear movement over
a wide range of velocities, and can be stalled without causing internal damage. Adverse
conditions can be easily tolerated such as high humidity, dry and dusty environments and
repetitive clean down with high pressure hoses. The diameter or bore of a cylinder determines
the maximum force that it can exert and the stroke determines the maximum linear movement
that it can produce. Cylinders are designed to work at different maximum pressures. The pressure
actually supplied to a cylinder will normally be reduced through a pressure regulator to control
the thrust to a suitable level. As an example of cylinder power, a 40mm bore cylinder working at
6 bars could easily lift an 80kg man. The basic construction of a typical double acting single rod
cylinder is shown in the cut away section (Fig 1), where the component parts can be identified.
The spring in a single acting cylinder is designed to provide sufficient force to return the
piston and rod only. This allows for the optimum efficiency from the available pressure. Most
single acting cylinders are in the small bore and light duty model ranges and are available in a
fixed range of stroke sizes. It is not practical to have long stroke or large bore single acting
cylinders because of the size and cost of the springs needed. Single acting cylinders with no
spring have the full thrust or pull available for performing work. These are often double acting
cylinders fitted with a breather filter in the port open to atmosphere. The cylinder can be
arranged to have a powered outstroke or a powered in stroke (Fig 3).
.
Fig 4: Double acting non cushioned cylinder
Cushioned cylinders have a built in method of shock absorption. Small bore light duty
cylinders have fixed cushions which are simply shock absorbing discs fixed to the piston or end
cover (Fig 5).
RODLESS CYLINDERS
For some applications it is desirable to contain the movement produced by a cylinder
within the same overall length taken up by the cylinder body. For example, action across a
conveyor belt or for vertical lifting in spaces with confined headroom. The novel design of a rod
less cylinder is ideal in these circumstances. The object to be moved is attached to a carriage
running on the side of the cylinder barrel. A slot, the full length of the barrel, allows the carriage
to be connected to the piston. Long sealing strips on the inside and outside of the cylinder tube
prevent loss of air and ingress of dust. The slot is unsealed only between the lip seals on the
piston as it moves backwards and forwards (Fig7). Direction and speed control is by the same
techniques as applied to conventional cylinders.
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY’ DESIGN, FABRICATION, ANIMATION
Page 10
“DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HYDRAULIC SCISSOR LIFT”
Current practice specifies bore (D) and piston rod diameter (d) in millimeters and working
pressure (P) in bar gauge. In the formula, P is divided by 10 to express pressure in Newton’s per
square millimeter (1 bar = 0.1 N/mm 2)
The theoretical force (F) is given by
F= (p / A)
Where
D = Cylinder bore in millimeters
d = Piston rod diameter in millimeters
P = Pressure in bar
F = Thrust or Pull in Newtons
USABLE THRUST
When selecting a cylinder size and suitable operating pressure, estimation must be made
of the actual thrust required. This is then taken as a percentage of the theoretical thrust of a
suitably sized cylinder. The percentage chosen will depend on whether the thrust is required at
the end of movement as in a clamping application or during movement such as when lifting a
load. 63 48\\

CLAMPING APPLICATIONS
In a clamping application the force is developed as the cylinder stops. This is when the
pressure differential across the piston reaches a maximum. The only losses from the theoretical
thrust will be those caused by friction. These can be assumed to be acting even after the piston
has stopped. As a general rule, make an allowance of 10% for friction. This may be more for
very small bore cylinders and less for very large ones. If the cylinder is operating vertically up or
down the mass of any clamping plates will diminish or augment the clamping force.
DYNAMIC APPLICATIONS
The actual thrust and speed from a moving cylinder are determined by friction and the
rate at which oil can flow in and out of the cylinder’s ports. The thrust or pull developed is
divided into two components. One for moving the load, the other for creating a back pressure to
help expel the oil on the exhausting side of the piston. For a lightly loaded cylinder, most of the
thrust is used to expel the back pressure and will result in a moderately fast speed. This is self
limiting however as the faster the speed, the less will be the pressure differential across the
piston. This is due to the increasing resistance through the ports, tubing, fittings and valve as the
rate of flow increases. For a heavily loaded cylinder most of the thrust is used to move the load.
The exhausting pressure will fall considerably to give a higher pressure differential before
movement starts. The acceleration and speed will be determined by the inertia of the load and
rate at which the lower back pressure is expelled. A heavy load simply diverts a greater
proportion of the power of the cylinder away from creating a back pressure to moving the load.
Although the speed for a heavily loaded cylinder is going to be slower it is not unreasonably so,
providing the cylinder has been correctly chosen. As a general rule, the estimated thrust
requirement should be between 50% and 75% of the theoretical thrust. This should give
sufficient back pressure for a wide range of adjustable speed control when fitting flow regulators.
SPEED CONTROL
For many applications, cylinders can be allowed to run at their own maximum natural
speed. This results in rapid mechanism movement and quick overall machine cycle times.
However, there will be applications where uncontrolled cylinder speed can give rise to shock
fatigue, noise and extra wear and tear to the machine components. The factors governing natural
piston speed and the techniques for controlling it are covered in this section.
The maximum natural speed of a cylinder is determined by:
• Cylinder size
• Port size
• Inlet and exhaust valve flow
• Oil pressure
• Bore and length of the hoses
• Load against which the cylinder is working.
From this natural speed it is possible to either increase speed or as is more often the
requirement, reduce it. First we will look at how the natural speed for any given load
can be changed by valve selection. Generally, the smaller the selected valve the slower the
cylinder movement. When selecting for a higher speed however, the limiting factor will be the
aperture in the cylinder ports (Fig 9)
cylinder port size. Larger bore cylinders are designed with port sizes large enough to allow fast
maximum speeds.
In many applications however they are required to operate at relatively low speeds. For
an application like this, a cylinder can be driven from a valve with smaller sized ports than those
of the cylinder. Once a cylinder/valve combination has been chosen, and the load is known, the
natural maximum speed will be dependent on pressure. For an installed cylinder and load, an
experiment can be carried out. Connect a control valve that will cause the cylinder to self
reciprocate. Then start the system running at low pressure and gradually increase it. The cylinder
will cycle faster and faster until a limiting speed is reached. This is the optimum pressure for that
application. Increase the pressure further and the cylinder starts to slow down. This is caused by
too much air entering the cylinder on each stroke. More time is therefore taken to exhaust it and
results in a slower cylinder speed With any fixed combination of valve, cylinder, pressure and
load, it is usually necessary to have adjustable control over the cylinder speed. This is affected
with flow regulators, and allows speed to be tuned to the application. For the majority of
applications, best controllability results from uni-directional flow regulators fitted to restrict the
flow out of the cylinder and allow free flow in. The regulator fitted to the front port controls the
outstroke speed and the one fitted to the rear port controls the in stroke speed. Speed is regulated
by controlling the flow of air to exhaust which maintains a higher back pressure. The higher the
back pressure the more constant the velocity against variations in load, friction and driving force.
On the other side of the piston full power driving pressure is quickly reached. Many flow
regulators are designed specifically for this convention.
SEALS
SEALS
There are a variety of seals required within a hydraulic cylinders Single acting non
cushioned cylinders use the least, double acting adjustable cushioned cylinders use the most
A sliding seal such as fitted to a piston, has to push outwards against the sliding surface
with enough force to prevent compressed air from escaping, but keep that force as low as
possible to minimize the frictional resistance. This is a difficult trick to perform, since the seal is
expected to be pressure tight from zero pressure to 10 bar or more. There is a large difference
between static and dynamic friction. Static friction or break-out friction as it is sometimes called
builds up when the piston stops moving. Seals inherently need to exert a force radially outward
to maintain a seal. This force gradually squeezes out any lubricants between the seal and the
barrel wall and allows the seal to settle in to the fine surface texture. After the piston has been
standing for a while, the pressure required to start movement is therefore higher than it would be
if it is moved again immediately after stopping. To minimize this effect, seals should have a low
radial force and high compliance. High compliance allows the seal to accommodate differences
in tolerance of the seal molding and machined parts without affecting the radial force by a great
degree.

CHAPTER 5
WORKING
The principle of hydraulics where in fluid force is applied on the piston to move the load
is applied here .The working of the hydraulic scissor lift is simple in operation. It consists of tank
or reservoir where hydraulic oil is stored which is 13 liters of capacity. Hand pump mounted on
the top of tank is used to displace the oil from tank to the cylinders with the help of hoists pipe.
Due to the pumping action the oil from the tank will move from the tank to the rear end
of the cylinders and applies the oil pressure force on the face of the piston head which moves the
piston rod in the forward direction there by lifting the upper platform as per the requirement
needs of the project. A relief valve which is inbuilt into the pump and oil tank is used for the
purpose of relieving the pressure which helps to bring back the piston in original position due to
gravity. C channels frame are used and circular pin is been used for distributing the pressure as
well as the external load.

period of time & it can be a great companion in any engineering industry dealing with rusted and
unused metals.
The device affords plenty of scope for modifications, further improvements & operational
efficiency, which should make it commercially available & attractive. If taken up for commercial
production and marketed properly, we are sure it will be accepted in the industry. It has plenty of
scope if the device is made larger in size.
