4. PROJECT CONSTRUCTION

[1] First we arrange one sliding channel and fix it on a

wooden frame.

[2] We use 8mm iron rode and cross on between 2

bearing stand. Then we fix one Pinion gear in between
2 bearing stand. This pinion gear rolls over rack
mechanism which is fixed on sliding channel.

[3] We attach one DC gear motor with rod shaft gear

for sliding movement to the entire set.

[4] We attach one syringe with sliding channel. Sliding

Now we take four 50 ml plastic syringe as hydraulic

6. CONCLUSION:-

After construction of this project we reach to this

conclusion that we can easily remove the reserve fluid
tank, fluid motor and manual plunger valve from our
heavy earth mover vehicle to reduce its cost. We can
implement this concept in robotic arms, conveyor, load
lifting ramps and heavy load turning table. We can
improve this concept by adding on gear boxes in
between the motor and rack pinion assembly. This
technique can reduce the heavy cost cutting in
hydraulic control machines.
