The projection of the mechanism comprises the choice of the optimal geometrical characteristics, those make it possible to work with reliability in any position. Optimization indicates that it is necessary to minimize during all the movement the maximum effort in the jack, element determining in the choice of the hydraulic control or to choose other criteria such as the minimal duration of the operating cycle.
