How to make a homemade jack with your own hands. Jack with your own hands (rolling, screw, wheels, hydraulic) - how to make a homemade jack for a car. Important specifications

Good afternoon. I have a rhombus jack, I lost a handle from him, she was made in the form of a hook. Lift the car with such a jack without a handle is not very convenient. In two- three stores asked about the handle, they had no such, it was decided to come up with something else. Therefore, it was decided to upgrade this jack so to speak. Especially since you need to put summer wheels, the winter has passed.

So, we take the Bulgarian and gently scold this ear, where it was necessary to put a hook handle, in order to spin the jack.

So I saw the eye.

Now we need to find, or rather choose the head that we welded instead of our ear. So I picked up such a head, additionally do nothing with her, you just need to privar well.

Now we take the welding machine and weld the head.

It turns out like this.

After welding, I crawled this place a little, too did not turn it out so that there are some iron for hardness.

With such a head, it is easy to twist a jack and raise the car, especially convenient to twist as a rattling.

Yesterday I tried the jack in the case, changed all four wheels, put the summer tires, with the jack work it became simple and easy to work.

Well, it seems to be everything, if anyone will help this article will be very happy. The idea was spied by Alexey from Tambov.

Take on such "creativity" prompted me the statement about the "hard" of the work of the correspondencers of foreign homemade. Let's call it a "pen".
Whatever complicate your task, I performed it from Vidio-plot.

I'll say right away, may the author forgive me and let him look for his creation on the Internet. I submit to your "court" your already "creation".

Each motorist, with the purchase of a car acquires a jack for servicing. Jacks are different, both purely mechanical and pure hydraulic. But they all have the main drawback, these are ease of use. Install a jack for a car without bending a "three-diet" is impossible. There are more advanced, for stationary use, but the cost of such "offshore". That's about such a jack and we are talking.
The author of the homemade joined two types of jacks together. That's how it happened.

Design features.
For its design, the author used a ready hydraulic jack, making a fixture to it. The whole design consists of a thick-walled channel for 80. Made from the whole billet. The bends of the design were achieved by the slot of the side walls and further boleting. From the photo, the device of supporting rollers (wheels) is clearly visible, I do not see the meaning to stop on them. For the direct support on the car body, a rubber support is fixed, it can be used from the supporting pillows of the spring, engine ... Folding up to the desired sizes.

For installation and fixation of the jack, welded (fastened) to the lower channel metal plate, having the size of the base of the jack and thickness in the 5mm area. The main focus will be on the rancher.

To fix the jack, two holes for 8-10mm drilled in its foundation, and at the base of the welded platinum under the jack, two guide pins are installed. That allows you to securely fix the jack and at the same time freely withdrawing it.
A piston finger from the car, crops in the size of the internal width of the chapeller welded to the main rod of the jack. This finger relies on the moving part of the device and that the jack could not "slip", from both sides of the finger inside the chaserler weld the limiters of two metal plates with a thickness of at least 8-10mm. With this finger should rotate easily there.

For the stiffness of the design of Kosinki. It would not increase the weight of the device, they are not made of solid metal. Also welded a handle for the convenience of use.

Running the device under the car, you, as usual with the help of the handle, start the rise of the main rod of the jack and also lead the lifting lever into motion.

Due to the increased lifting lever, it is possible to fully raise the entire raised side. Both wheels do not rely.

This is probably all about the features of manufacturing this design.

To give the homemade "View", it must be painted.

What will you need for the manufacture of such a "rolling" jack:
0. Head.
1. Ready hydraulic jack.
2. Swsheller thick-walled for 80, in the area of \u200b\u200b1.5m.
3. Metal plates thick from 5 to 10mm, 150-200 cm square.
4.Metallic "Kregush" with a diameter of 12-16mm. 1-1.5 meters.
5. Piston finger of the car.
6. Rubber "Pillow".

Tool
1. "Bulgarian"
2. Welding.
3. Plumbing tool.

Having a drawing at hand - a jack of helical, do it yourself, make it from the stewlers of steel bent equestrian GOST8278-83.

The jack of screw consists of the following details:
Base
Bald shoulder
Upper shoulder

Screw mechanism

BASE

We will produce from the sorting area of \u200b\u200b2.63 (cm²). Four through holes drill with a diameter equal to the diameter of the pin. When drilling, strictly withstand the middle-sighted distance between them. If necessary, the base can be attached to a wider removable platform.

Bald shoulder

We will produce from the sorting area of \u200b\u200b1.99 (cm²) by analogy with the base.

Upper shoulder

We will produce from a sorting area of \u200b\u200b2.28 (cm²) by analogy with the lower shoulder.

Emphasis

We will produce from a sorting area of \u200b\u200b1.99 (cm²) by analogy with the upper shoulder.
From above, fasten rubber gasket.

Screw mechanism

1. Shaft - Screw. We will produce from a metal rod with a diameter of twelve millimeters. On the one hand, the M12 thread, with another retainer, which is attached to the shaft with a pin through the through hole on the shaft.

2. Axis - focus. Regarding which the lower and upper shoulders rotate.

Axes on both sides are pins with cylindrical flat heads that are attached with the axis with the help of spop.

In one stop drilled through a hole with a diameter of ten millimeters, in the other - the internal thread M12 is cut.
3. Fixator. Fixes the shaft from its rotation and provides the ability to transmit torque to the shaft.

Operating characteristics of the jack of the screw made by their own hands.

The car is now almost every person. For some, he acts as earning - this is a taxi, buses, trucking, etc. Someone is needed just for movement. But for true car enthusiasts, the car is the most close friend who helps in difficult moments and never fails. They take care of her, carefully referred, on time. Often, such people in life are friends with appliances and love the tool. They like to do something with their own hands, because it brings great pleasure. Often, there are any useful and interesting things for the car.

For example, a good thought will make a jack. Indeed, without this device can not do any motorist. Many, of course, will now say that it is easier to go and buy in the store. But for a true mechanic, building such a thing, especially for its car, will not be difficult. It is just important to know how to make a jack, and from what it will consist.

Before starting to make a jack for the car with your own hands, you need to decide what kind of design it will be. To do this, you need to know the main varieties of these devices that can be found in stores:

• Rack. This species is used for a long time. It is based on a long metal rack with holes, lever and ratchet with perpendicular to the end. Waving the lever down, the ratchet along with it raises the severity. Waving up - it works, knocking himself into one of the nearest holes on the rail along with the cargo. The cycle is then repeated again;

• Screw. The most common jack among domestic motorists. It can be represented in different ways, but the principle of operation is the same - rotating, the screw raises or lowers the dynamic part. It is often made in the form of a durable lever attached to the moving mechanism, which in turn goes through the brackets in the case. There is also a rhombic jack. It is much more practical and is a hull in the form of a diamond, which is made of four moving parts. The stand is attached at the bottom, and at the top is the lifting platform. Through the side mounts the long screw passes. If you turn it, the figure will either fold, or stretch up, raising the cargo;

• Hydraulic. Most often, such devices can be found from truckers who raise heavy axes of trucks when replacing the wheels. They can be represented in different ways and have a different principle of work, but the meaning of everyone is the same - there is a hand pump, which is created by oil pressure in the main cylinder. Under its action begins to climb the platform with severity. These jacks are characterized by high lifting capacity, as well as a large mass and height;

  

  Hydraulic jack

• Pneumatic. Something resembles an air cylinder, which are installed on the pneumatic suspension of the car. Simply put, this is a small platform on wheels (maybe without them), which is attached by a hollow thick-walled rubber pillow. Through the fitting is served air from the compressor or cylinder. Created pressure, and the pillow begins to rise.

  

  Pneumatic jacks

These are the main types of jacks that are used most often. They are classified precisely according to the type of force used (mechanical, hydraulic, etc.), but there are many varieties there. For example, hydraulic devices are dumped, cylindrical, trailed, duplex. That is, the kind of jack is one, and its types are several. Therefore, there is a large selection in order to independently make your own model using the prototype.

Skills required in the manufacture of a jack

Immediately it is worth saying that the needlework is not easy and requires certain skills. In our case, it is almost all the abilities that a beginner mechanic should have:

• welding - The most basic, what is required when working with the metal. As the design will be collected from scratch, it will only need to weld. And to do it, it is necessary to qualitatively so that a solid product is as a result;
• cut - It is enough to be able to cut iron with a grinder. Well, if there is a cutting skill with oxygen torch;
• treatment - without the skill of the use of a file or grinding machine will be difficult;
• tokar a business - In principle, you can do without it, but if you are interested in this, it will be much easier in the manufacture and processing of some parts;
• painting - The thing made with your own hands should be painted.

If you have the above-listed skills, then in the process of making a jack, there should be no problems. The higher the level of owning the tool, the better the product will turn out.

In order to make a jack, there must be a suitable tool. The first thing is welding, since it will take place with it. It is desirable that it was semi-automatic apparatus With carbon dioxide. Then the seams will be much smaller and there will be no extra slag. The second that is no less important is bulgarian. Well, if there is a small and large in the assortment. With their help, you will cut blanks from steel. Also need drill, because you have to do not do one hole. So that with ease of processing iron parts, you must electric sharpened. It is key in the process of fitting. In addition, it is desirable to have more hand tools: Files, Nadfili, Bruks, Hammers, Screwdrivers, Rashpili, Lerbs with a set of taps, sledgehamps, vice, etc. The larger at hand there will be devices, the easier the manufacturing process will seem.

The more tools have in the presence, the easier it is better to get a jack

Lathe In any case, is an excellent assistant, but not everyone has it. In principle, you can cope without it, but if you have such an aggregate in the garage or workshop, it will be much faster. After all, using the milling installation it is easy to sharpen or process any detail. For example, bolt or rod. In general, your machine will be very by the way.

It is also worth talking about the material. It can be bought on the market or in the paragraph of accepting scrap metal. The second option is much cheaper, because on the receptions of the scrap all the metal rusty and beaten. For operation, it is not suitable, but as the donor the most. Preferably, of course, more to buy more. After all, depending on what jack you want, you may need additional mechanisms or fasteners that can not be made. Therefore, be prepared for the purchase of some components on the market.

The basis (and lifting lever, and the lifting pad) of the hydraulic jack can be made from a channel. For lifting force, an ordinary hydraulic bottle jack is used. For the movement of the jack, you can attach wheels (you can replace bearings, rollers or something similar).

Device of the homemade hydraulic subframe jack

Bottle jack is recommended to be installed on the moving pad "swing", since during the operation, the jack is a little changes its angle, and some compensation of movements is required. The playground should sway a little from the side to the side. You can make it from the same channel, drilled through a hole in the lifting basis and putting the "swing" to the bolt so that a small gap of 0.5-1 cm remains between the base and the platform.

Mobile platform for a bottle jack

To increase the strength of the structure, it is preferably on both sides of the foundation to make separations from the rods. The thicker the rod, the better. They are welded to the base.

The device works from a bottle jack. When it moves a special handle-rod, it rises that he moves up the lifting lever.

The process of operation of the self-made hydraulic subframe jack

The drawing of such a hydraulic jack for making it is presented in the image below:

As an example, consider a pneumatic device that the easiest way to do. So, you will need:

In principle, such a self-made device can already calmly raise any passenger car. It is enough to substitute a pneumatic cylinder under the platform on the bottom and connect the high pressure hose to the fittings. Feeding compressed air, the pillow will start climbing together with the machine.

Principle of operation of a self-made pneumatic jack

For convenience, such a jack can be finished, inventing him a reliable platform with wheels. Thus, if the balloon is taken on the disassembly, the device of its own manufacture is in almost a penny.

The most important question remains. Is it worth doing a jack in general? Answers to it can be different, however, weighing all the nuances, you can come to the final conclusion. To begin with, it is worth dealing with the cost. It is clear that no one will buy a tool for making, nevertheless need material and some details that still have to purchase. The new factory jack is quite possible to buy for 5,000 rubles. Washing on homemade will depend on what it is type and type. So, making hydraulic will be most expensive, but above the considered pneumatic is the cheapest.

In general, the cost of the jack is not so big to break his head and do it yourself. If it is indifferent to you, it is better not to be thrown for it and buy a new one in the store. But, if the process itself is interesting, and you want to make something to make something, then this is a great idea to check your skills. It may be possible to even save 1-2 thousand rubles. That is, when there is a desire to do - try, wisely and achieve a result. But if the process of making a jack is uninteresting to you, then it is better to postpone this matter.

The main thing that needs to be remembered is security measures. Any tool in inexperienced hands can cause serious injuries. Do not forget to also wear safety glasses when processing metal and when welding to warn eyes.
