Types of UPVC Door Handles

Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around the point. When you apply a force at the end of the lever, it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum to the direction of the applied force. This rotates the force and lets you lift or move things that would otherwise require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever can be moved. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point at which you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.

Levers also have various effects based on how the forces are applied. For example, a class 2 lever tends to rotate in the opposite direction to when the force applied to it (like a teeter-totter). The forces generated when you push on the handle of a front door will produce rotational effects that are similar to those.

However, levers don't create energy. They multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a long distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. This allows you to complete more work in a shorter amount of time, and that is why levers are commonly employed to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo.
