Types of UPVC Door Handles

Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the lever, it tends to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the applied force. This rotation multiplies your force and lets you lift or move objects that normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum amount of movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended the greater the mechanical benefit. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum's point and the end of the lever.

Levers can have different effects depending on the way the force is applied. A lever in class 2, for example is prone to rotating in the opposite direction when an effort force is applied. If you push the door's handle, the forces will produce rotational effects similar to this.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you apply by making a small amount effort applied over a long distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance. This allows you to complete more work in a shorter period of time, which is why levers are commonly employed to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo. This is also the basis behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools like crowbars, fishing rods, hammer claws and even your own legs when you stand on the hand brake of your car.
