HOW A HYDRAULIC JACKS WORK.

Hydraulic jacks and many other technological advancements such as automobile brakes and
dental chairs work on the basis of Pascal's Principle. Basically, the principle states that the
pressure in a closed container is the same at all points. Therefore if you have two cylinders
connected together, a small one and a large one, and then we apply a small force to the small
cylinder or piston A, this would result in a given pressure. By Pascal's Principle, this pressure
would be the same in the larger cylinder or piston B, but since the larger cylinder has more
area, the force emitted by the second cylinder would be greater. The pressure stayed the same
in the second cylinder, but the area was increased, resulting in a larger force. The greater the
differences in the areas of the cylinders, the greater the potential force output of the big
cylinder. A hydraulic jack is simply two cylinders connected as described above.

STEP HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM.

1. Hydraulics jacks depend on force generated by pressure.

2. Furthermore, if two cylinders (a large and a small one) are connected and force is
applied to one cylinder, equal pressure is generated in both cylinders.
3. Next, because one cylinder has a larger area, the force in the larger cylinder produces
the more higher force, although the pressure in the two cylinders will remain the
same. Hydraulic jacks depend on this basic principle to lift heavy loads. The pump
plunger is used to move oil through two cylinders.
4. We need to pull back the first plunger, which will opens the suction valve ball within
and draws oil into the pump chamber.
5. After that, the plunger is pushed forward, the oil moves through an external discharge
check valve into the cylinder chamber, and the suction valve closes, which results in
pressure within the cylinder.
SYSTEM DESIGN.

Figure 1

This is the illustration for hydraulics jacks. When the piston A is pushed downward, the
piston B will move upward. So, the load will move upward.

Figure 2

The real hydraulics jacks. If we compare figure 1 and figure 2, in figure 2 the small piston
will became piston A and the larger piston will become piston B.
