Automation & Robotics ROBO-226 Fluid Power Lab 4: The Bottle Jack Objective: To explore the construction and operation of the hydraulic bottle jack. This experiment aims to provide knowledge about the internal assembly of the bottle jack and the jack is used to investigate the hydraulic basics of Pascal’s Law. Bottle Jack is an experiment aiming to empower students via the operation and construction of
a common bottle jack. The jack is used to investigate the hydraulic basics of Pascal's Law, Conservation of Energy, and the mechanical
principle of a First Class Lever. Lab Procedure: Identify all the components of the disassembled bottle jack. Record the class of lever the bottle jack represents. Identify and note the diameter of the lift piston. Also, note down the below measurements; 1. The maximum lift of the jack in lbs 2. The system pressure required to produce the maximum lift 3. The bore of the lift cylinder d1 4. The stroke of the lift cylinder SL 5. The volume of the lift cylinder V1 6. The bore of the pump cylinder d2 7. The stroke of the pump cylinder SP 8. The volume of the pump cylinder V2 9. The arm distance from the pivot to the pumping piston (IP) 10. The hydraulic amplification factor AH 11. The mechanical amplification factor AM 12. The number of strokes to achieve the maximum lift stroke After identification and measurements, assemble parts of the bottle jack. Equipment List: Handle Lift Piston Pumping Piston Inlet and Outlet check valve Lowering Valve Pivot pin Digital vernier caliper

ix. Am = 24 Questions and Answers: 1: What device limits the cylinder extension? Ans: The cylinder extension is limited by a groove called Maximum lift safety. 2: What device allows cylinder retraction? Ans: The cylinder can retract according to a lowering valve. 3: Where is the reservoir? Ans: The lifting cylinder is guarded by a reservoir. 4: What methods are used for cylinder and piston sealing? Ans: For cylinder and piston sealing, an 'O-ring' is necessary. 5: Does the system have a relief valve? Ans: The "Maximum lift safety" groove serves as a safety control. This security measure will discharge the oil back into the reservoir if the fluid level rises above the set point. Conclusion: The bottle jack's design and purpose were clearly understood once the experiment was completed. In addition, the quantitative method of the bottle jack was explored.
