Shock absorbers (II): types, location in an elevator
September 17, 2010
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)
September 10, 2010
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?
September 3, 2010
Telescopic pistons designed and manufactured for operation in hydraulic lifts require higher standards than those used industrially.
Advantages of mechanical synchronization telescopic piston
July 23, 2010
Telescopic pistons, which can be 2, 3 or 4 sections, have the advantage of being able to double or triple the elevator travel for the same cylinder length.
Gap: characteristics and requirements
July 16, 2010
The shaft is the space exclusively intended for the movement of the elevator and the counterweight (if it is electric), but it cannot be used for any other installation other than the elevator.
Pit: characteristics and requirements
July 9, 2010
The lower part of the enclosure, below the level of the last stop, is called the pit. The floor must be smooth and substantially level.
Biodegradable fluids
July 2, 2010
Due to the growing interest in the environment and new legislation, biodegradable fluids are becoming increasingly important in the lifting sector. They can be classified into 3 categories according to their base.
Cavitation in hydraulic pumps: what it is, why it occurs and how to avoid it
June 11, 2010
The phenomenon of cavitation occurs when the fluid has difficulty entering (sucking) the pump suction duct, causing the pressure in this duct to drop. If the pressure is lower than the vapor pressure of the fluid itself, this will lead to the formation of bubbles.
What is a home lift, homelift or home elevator?
mayo 28, 2010
We understand Homelift to be any type of small-sized lift or single-family elevator designed to be installed in single-family homes, chalets, etc.
Can I install a hydraulic lift even if there is no machine room?
mayo 21, 2010
Today, thanks to technology, great advances have been made in the elimination of architectural barriers and facilitating access to buildings where the installation of an elevator was previously impossible.
