Calculation of guides
March 11, 2011
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.

Types of guides for hydraulic elevators
February 11, 2011
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.
Submersible electric motors for hydraulic lifts
December 3, 2010
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.
Working pressure of hydraulic equipment
November 12, 2010
Working pressures depend on the nominal load of the elevator and the piston diameter.
Control and precision of leveling between cabin and floor
November 11, 2010
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.
What is the function of the oscillating plate?
October 29, 2010
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
October 22, 2010
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)
October 15, 2010
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.
Principles of hydrodynamics in hydraulic elevators: Bernoulli and Torricelli
October 8, 2010
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.
Mechanical safety device: for forklifts and car lifts (II)
October 1, 2010
Other safety devices used in heavy load installations, such as forklifts, are access doors, limit switches, etc.
