Hello everyone, I'm new on this forum. I am planning on building an automotive hydraulic scissor lift. I think I have everything planned out except for the placement of the hydraulic cylinder, as far as I have done research, the further up along the scissor arm I place the cylinder the less force is required but more more stroke is needed, and vice-versa the lower you go. just to clarify there will be "2 posts" so two separate lifting platforms, so when the car rolls onto it, one can walk underneath it. here are the specifications of the lift:
Length of arm, from base to the top, Full length = 2.07m
Base length = 2m
Initial angle of scissor arm to the base = 15.4 degrees
initial height from the ground the top platform = 0.55m
maximum angle of scissor arm to the base = 60 degrees
maximum height from the ground to the top platform = 1.8m
maximum vertical movement of the platform = 1.25m
Real-world weight = 1500kg
Weight used in calculations (for safety sake) = 2500kg
Material used is steel, 210GPa
If you see any imperfections, or things that can be improved, feel free to point it out. Any help is greatly appreciated!
