What type of motor can I use for this jack ?
It's running from a 12V battery

+1, w/o telescoping handle the jack or motor would need to be on a sliding mechanism. probably bad to have the jack slide back & forth ;)gjonesy said:Unless you have a telescoping arm on the jack that design wouldn't work, and you would have to manually let the jack down. a scissor jack with a reversible electric motor straight shaft input attached to the jack itself would work much better.

A connecting rod would be a better method of connecting the crank to the jack arm. By selecting appropriate linkage dimensions and motor position, the motor torque could be optimised to the lifting part of the rotation cycle. A simple change to the jack handle socket would allow operation by horizontal motion rather than vertical.
That looks like it would work, so long as the ends of the connecting rod were pins that would allow for the directional differences.TheRedDevil18 said:What if I just changed the connecting rod position to something like this
I expect the pressure "release valve" that is wrongly labelled as “pressure relief” valve will be cracked open slightly.gjonesy said:How are you going to lower the jack?
The motor size for an automatic hydraulic jack is determined by the weight of the load it will be lifting. Generally, the motor should have a capacity of at least 1.5 times the weight of the load to ensure it can handle the weight safely and efficiently.
The recommended power source for an automatic hydraulic jack is a 12-volt DC power supply. This is the standard power source for most automobiles and can also be found in many portable power banks or jump starters.
No, only a DC motor should be used for an automatic hydraulic jack. This type of motor is designed to provide smooth and precise movement, making it ideal for lifting heavy loads. Using any other type of motor may result in damage to the jack or unsafe lifting conditions.
Yes, a pressure relief valve is a crucial safety feature on an automatic hydraulic jack motor. It helps regulate the pressure in the system and prevent overloading, which can lead to equipment failure or accidents.
The lifespan of an automatic hydraulic jack motor will vary depending on the quality of the motor and how well it is maintained. On average, a good quality motor should last for several years with regular use and proper maintenance.
