Control and precision of leveling between cabin and floor
An extremely important aspect in the operation of an elevator is the precision with which a certain floor is reached and maintained during passenger transit.
Less is more
The Elevators Blog was born 18 months ago, and since then every Friday we publish an article about hydraulic elevators and related topics. Now we will publish the articles every two weeks on the blog. If you have any suggestions or would like us to talk about a specific topic related to hydraulics, leave us a comment and we will […]
What is the function of the oscillating plate?
The swash plate is a component located on the top of the piston, and its main function is to join the cabin and the rod. In the case of direct action installations (1:1), this joint must be flexible.
Modernizing the elevator improves its safety and reduces its energy consumption
40% of the elevator fleet on the market today are installations that are more than 20 years old, most of which need to be modernized in order to comply with the new regulations and directives in force (2006/42/EC, in force since December 2010).
The principles of hydromechanics (II)
Archimedes' Principle: states that a fluid exerts a large force (lift) on an object placed in the fluid. The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Mechanical safety device: for forklifts and car lifts (II)
Other safety devices used in heavy load installations, such as forklifts, are access doors, limit switches, etc.
Features of a forklift
The elevator must be operated from a panel located on any floor (door button panel), and each floor must have a button to redirect to the other floors.
Shock absorbers (II): types, location in an elevator
According to EN 81.1, there are three types of shock absorbers: energy storage, energy storage with return motion damping, and energy dissipation.
Function of shock absorbers. Types of shock absorbers (I)
What are they?
Shock absorbers (buffers in English) are an organ designed to serve as a deformable end-of-travel stop and consist of a fluid or spring braking system (or other equivalent device).
How do hydraulic synchronization telescopic pistons work and where can they be installed?
Telescopic pistons designed and manufactured for operation in hydraulic lifts require higher standards than those used industrially.
