Design and Analysis of Hydraulic Scissor Lift Using PTC CREO Simulate

Abstract

This paper is mainly focused on calculation of the forces acting on the different joints of the Hydraulic Lift when it is extended and contracted. Generally, a hydraulic scissor lift is used for lifting and holding heavy weights or heavy components. The design is carried out by considering Hydraulic lift as portable, compact and suitable for mild load types. Drafting and drawing of the hydraulic scissor lift is carried out using PTC CREO for modelling of the parts and the final assembly and then model is imported to the inbuilt simulation software of the PTC CREO i.e. CREO Simulate for meshing and static analysis. Von Mises Stress and Maximum Displacement were given the emphasis and all other responsible parameters were analyzed to check the compatibility of the design values.
