The installation of a hydraulic lift has, among other advantages, a high level of safety, a lower cost thanks to its energy efficiency and maximum optimization of space.
Now that we have defined the different types of guides for hydraulic lifts, in an article published two weeks ago, we will explain how to calculate them.
Guides are rigid profiles with a specific section whose mission is to guide the cabin or the balancing mass (counterweight) in hydraulic and/or electric elevators throughout the entire journey.
The electric motor defines the performance of the system, allowing high power to be transmitted with high operating precision. The most common location of the motor is submerged in the fluid of the hydraulic power plant tank.
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.
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.
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.
Hydromechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the forces acting on fluids (liquids and gases). Hydromechanics is divided into hydrodynamics, which studies fluids in motion; and hydrostatics, which studies fluids at rest.
Other safety devices used in heavy load installations, such as forklifts, are access doors, limit switches, etc.
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.
