OVERVIEW

This project involved the 3D modeling and functional design of a screw jack lift table, developed entirely in Creo Parametric. The objective was to create a mechanically stable lifting platform capable of precise vertical motion while sustaining load-bearing requirements. The design emphasized manufacturability, ease of assembly, and mechanical efficiency, integrating key concepts of power transmission and structural rigidity.

HighlightS

  • Designed a fully parametric screw jack lift table model in Creo Parametric with realistic mechanical motion.
  • Applied design principles of lead screw mechanisms and bearing-supported shafts for smooth vertical translation.
  • Conducted geometric and motion verification to ensure alignment stability and minimize off-axis deflection.
  • Optimized the platform for balanced load distribution and reduced frictional losses in screw-nut engagement.
  • Developed an assembly-ready design with proper constraints, mechanical joints, and motion simulations.

SKILLS

Creo Parametric Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Motion Analysis and Mechanism Verification

Additional Details

Screw Jack Lift Table

  • Designed and modeled a screw jack–based lifting table in Creo Parametric to achieve smooth vertical motion for medium-load applications. 
  • Incorporated trapezoidal lead screw and nut mechanism ensuring self-locking and stable lifting performance. 
  • Conducted motion simulation to verify uniform load distribution and optimized screw pitch for minimal input torque. 
  • Created detailed engineering drawings with dimensional accuracy, tolerances, and fits suitable for workshop fabrication. 
  • Applied DFM principles by selecting mild steel for the frame and high-carbon steel for screw-nut assembly.
  • Recognized for precision modeling and technical completeness during evaluation.
