 1 * Product Overview

y The progressive safety gear G01 is designated as follows:

– G refers to the German word “Gleiten” (slide).
– The first digit G01 refers to the size.
– The second digit G01 refers to various modifications as well as to the introduction of
wear-resistant 3G brake plates.
y G01/C is a specific solution with reduced width, which should be considered as a
G01 with s = 3 and BFK = 16.
y G01/C has its own EC Type-Examination Certificate.
y The use of 3G brake plates greatly enhances the performance of the progressive safety
gear G series. Safety gears have to be readjusted when conventional brake plates are
replaced with 3G brake plates.
y The braking force or deceleration of progressive safety gear G series is set by making
appropriate adjustments in the laminated spring assembly (LLV value).
y The braking distance or SLS is the measurement used to determine deceleration.
y The maximum braking time of approximately two seconds must never be exceeded in
the event of a free fall in order to protect the brake plates from excessive overheating.
y When the system is set by means of an acceptance test, the braking force is set at a
higher rate of deceleration to allow for the braking force of the CWT. That way, the
minimum deceleration of 0.2 ... 0.6 g will be achieved in a free fall, where the CWT is not
attached to the car (g = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s2).
y The stipulated by-pass clearance (s) of the system may be up to approximately 0.4 mm
less than the indicated nominal value due to play between the sliding shoe, roller cage
and wedge-shaped jaw.
y The basic form of the entire G series is the same but with slight differences in model
details:
– Type and position of the nameplate
– Number of Type-Examination Certificate and CE Conformity Marking
– Type of LLV lead seal
– Disk spring thickness / disk spring coating
– Roller cages of differing construction and length
– Type and fastening of S and C-bracket
– Aluminum fulcrum nut instead of adjustment tube.

 3 Safety Gear Adjustment

3.1 Factory Adjustment of By-Pass Clearance

Only authorized personnel may remove the adjustment seals applied by the factory.

Pre-adjustment of the progressive safety gears takes place at the factory with regard to the
blade width BFK of the guide rail in order to achieve the required by-pass clearance s. The
pre-adjustment is then sealed with two plastic caps per safety gear. See also section “Upper
Governor Lever Stopper and Actuating Mechanism” in this manual.
The required by-pass clearance s is adjusted in the works free from any play and, therefore,
is a nominal value. The tolerance is ± 0.1 mm. This value can never be achieved on site
because of the play between the various parts (slide jaw, roller cage and clamping wedge).
Therefore, the free by-pass clearance may be up to approximately 0.4 mm smaller on site.

3.2 Adjustment of Value LLV

The adjustment should preferably be combined with the required acceptance test. Minimum
conditions are according to section “Acceptance Test Variants / Test Data” in this manual.

The LLV value is a reference value for the initial adjustment since the car weight and the
tolerances of the length of the disk spring column are often not exactly known. Therefore, in
order to guarantee that the required deceleration is achieved, the progressive safety gear
G series must be submitted to an acceptance test on site for a final adjustment with
correction of the LLV value if required.

3.3 Final Work Adjustment of Values BFK and LLV

When rated speeds are small, the braking marks of the acceptance tests are often hardly
traceable. Therefore, the adjustment of the values BFK and LLV on the progressive safety
gear G series up to VKN = 0.63 m/s is already done and sealed at the factory.
In this case:
y A braking force greater than necessary is adjusted since the regulations allow
decelerations > 1 g at these rated speeds.
y The resulting deceleration of the car corresponds essentially to the distance only that the
clamping wedges slide while overcoming the by-pass clearance until touching the guide
rail. This will be checked during acceptance testing.

3.4 Acceptance Tests / Braking Mark Deviations

y All tests shall comply with the respective braking mark tables in order to guarantee that a
possible free fall with rated load GQ will be stopped by the progressive safety gear
G series.
y The minimum and maximum braking marks of the respective tables indicate average
values of the four braking marks.
y The braking mark lengths can deviate depending on both the adjustment and test speed.
y In a test with equally distributed test load, the incline of the car floor should be no more
than 5 % against the normal position after the acceptance test.
y Only the components that have been approved by the Corporate R&D are permitted.

 4 * Component Information

4.1 Overspeed Governor

1) Tripping speed VCA under consideration of the application limits of the safety gear.
2) The rope pull-through force FC must be at least twice the required static engaging force
FLC of the safety gear on the governor lever. With this the required FC value basically
depends on the retaining force on the governor lever.

4.2 Upper Governor Lever Stopper and Actuating Mechanism

1) The stopper of the governor lever on the actuating mechanism has to be adjusted in
such a way that the tripping of the safety gear is ensured and the spring-type straight
pins in the actuating shafts are not submitted to excessive loads
2) The actuating mechanism consists of a short and a longer actuating shaft (with governor
lever) which are joined by a connecting rod or tube.
3) The actuating mechanism of the car sling types P8K, P9K and W8K and of CWT
applications in general must have a by-pass clearance s = 3 mm (s is the clearance
between the guide rail and brake plates).
4) The actuating mechanism of the car sling type P10K allows a by-pass clearance of
either s = 3 mm or s = 5 mm with the corresponding adjustment.
5) In case of designs on commission, the actuating mechanism has to correspond to the
car sling type.

4.3 Modification of By-Pass Clearance

The clamping wedge width or also the brake plate thickness must not be changed in order
to achieve a different by-pass clearance.
The by-pass clearance must be increased in the factory only by lowering the clamping
wedges, which requires changes also to:
y Actuating shafts
y Governor lever stopper
y Pull rod length
y Safety gear (roller cages, C-shaped brackets or S-shaped brackets)
y Intermediate console for the roller guide shoes
y Influence on undertravel (layout).

 4.4 Guide Rails

y Only T-section guide rails with machined running surfaces according to ISO 7465 are
permitted for the progressive safety gear G series.
– Section size and width of the running surface must comply with the safety gear.
– Steel quality according to ISO 7465. If the steel quality cannot be verified, the
maximum permissible application limits of the progressive safety gear shall be
reduced by 15 %.
y The use of the progressive safety gear G series in existing installations requires that the
blade width of the guide rails be (BFK - 0.2 mm) ... (BFK + 0.1 mm). If non-standard BFK
values are required, dimensional changes to the brake plate or clamping wedges
are not permitted.
y The finishing mode, machined or drawn, of the guide rail running surfaces and the type
of oil for lubrication have an essential influence on the coefficient of friction and thus on
the braking force of the safety gear.
y The finish quality of the running surfaces of new guide rails has to be:
– Ra ≤ 1.6 micrometer (N7 maximum) in longitudinal direction
– Ra = 0.4 ... 6.3 micrometer (N5 ... N9) in transverse direction.

4.5 Guide Rail Lubrication

Common Speed Ranges

Rated Speed (VKN) Lubrication

≤ 2.5 m/s Oiled or dry

1) Light oiling permitted for the purpose of corrosion protection only but automatic lubrication is
not allowed.
Allowed Oils
Only those oils are permitted for the lubrication of the guide rails that are quoted in
N 5999120 E Technical Norms for Oils.
Other oils as for example gear oils and oils with solid lubricants are not permitted because
they reduce the braking force of the progressive safety gear considerably.
Attention should be paid also to the oil instruction label on the cover of the lubricant
apparatus.

 4.6 * Guide Shoes

y The Dimensions and application data are according to K 601881.

y The By-pass clearance is s = 3 mm with the progressive safety gear G01.
y Sliding guide shoes or roller guide shoes are used in combination with the G01.
y If roller guide shoes are used, consider the following:
– Make sure that the running clearance s is always maintained. See drawing below.
– Make sure that the overlapping of the brake plates (1) and the guide rail running
surface (2) is 5 mm. See drawing below.
– Use, if necessary, an applicable retaining guide device to ensure the correct running
clearance s and the correct overlapping of the brake plates (1) and the guide rail
running surface (2).
– A sufficiently long intermediate console is required so that the brake plates of the
safety gear can be exchanged without dismounting the roller guide shoes.
This requirement is not yet fully met. Currently, the braking plates cannot be
exchanged without prior dismounting of the roller cages.

 5 Variants

The constructive mounting of the safety gears on the crosshead/bottom yoke must be
carried out in such a way that a simple access to the roller cages and consequently also to
the brake plates will be possible, so that the required maintenance work can be performed
without trouble (checking and adjustment of by-pass clearance). Normally the safety gears
shall be mounted on the bottom yoke, as required by EN 81-1:1998, if one pair of safety
gear blocks is applied. If more than one pair is to be applied for the car sling, all of them
must be of the progressive safety gear type.

5.1 Non-Standard BFK Values

Non-standard BFK values must be approved by Corporate R&D.

5.2 Double Arrangement

5.2.1 Two Guide Rails

EN 81 allows the operation of two pairs of progressive safety gear blocks on a single
elevator traveling between two guide rails.
y On commission, in addition to the pair of safety gear blocks on the bottom yoke, a
second pair can be mounted on the crosshead for heavier duty or better distribution of
the braking forces.
y In this case, two actuating mechanisms are required, which are jointly operated by a
single overspeed governor. For that, the two governor levers have to be connected with
an adjustable connecting rod and, moreover, a stopper for the governor lever has to be
mounted on the crosshead.
y With this double arrangement the duty can be raised by 100 % up to VKN = 4 m/s and
by approximately 70 % at VKN > 4 m/s if the braking marks of the upper progressive
safety gear cover the lower ones partially.
y Example: Double deck elevator.

5.2.2 Four Guide Rails

EN 81 allows the operation of two pairs of progressive safety gear blocks on a single
elevator traveling between four guide rails.
y On commission, two pairs of progressive safety gear blocks can be mounted in parallel,
which are jointly operated by a single overspeed governor.
y In this case, a common actuating shaft is required as a special design on commission.
y Examples: Theater-wings elevators, motor car elevators, etc.

 6 Protection from Environmental Effects

6.1 Corrosion Protection for Guide Rails

Refer to section “Guide Rail Lubrication” in this manual.

For cars of outdoor elevators, automatic lubricators should be used preferably for a
sufficient corrosion protection. This applies also to the CWT if it is fitted with a safety gear.

6.2 Corrosion Protection for Brake Plates

The brake plates shall be oiled only slightly.

It does not matter if there is a rust film present on the brake plates. However, in case of
heavy rust, all four brake plates have to be replaced.

6.3 Common Corrosion Protection A0 for Progressive Safety Gear

The usual corrosion protection A0 according to Standard Data Sheet 9-45121 of the safety
gears consists of painting of:
y The casted steel parts
y The galvanized or oiled or greased surfaces (with the galvanization according to
“Fe/Zn 5Ad Standard Data Sheet 9-45911” or “A2L Standard Data Sheet 9-45915”)
Application: Dry environmental conditions as found in business or residential buildings.

6.4 Heavy Corrosion Protection D0 for Progressive Safety Gear

y The heavy corrosion protection D0 (according to Standard Data Sheet 9-45123W) for
safety gear is available on commission and consists of:
– Two-component zinc dust prime coating with additional lacquer coating of the
casted steel parts and of galvanized surfaces (Fe/Zn 5Ad or A2L)
– Hard chromium plating of tempered steel surfaces.
y The surface protection of the actuating mechanism is as follows:
– Actuating shafts: stainless steel
– Pull rods: Same as the casings of the safety gear
– Leaf springs, torsional springs, tensional springs: Galvanized (Fe/Zn 5Ad)
– Clamping sleeves: stainless steel
y Application:
– Chemical and/or humid, moist environmental conditions as found in the chemical
industry, in tropical climates, on the sea shore.
– Panorama elevator, outdoor installation, mine hoist, swimming pool, sauna, ship
elevators, sea shore buildings, dams, wharfs, etc.

6.5 ”Rust-Free Construction” of Progressive Safety Gear

On commission, a rust-free construction can be delivered which consists of:

y All galvanized parts being additionally provided with surface condition Fe/Zn 25Ad or
A7L instead of Fe/Zn 5Ad or A2L.
y The bolts of the disk springs being hard chromium plated.
y All screws, nuts, clamping sleeves and locking elements (that is standard parts) being
supplied rust-free.

 6.6 Exposure to Icing

Icing has a negative effect on the functional reliability of progressive safety gears and
therefore requires protective measures:
1) Corrosion protection D0
2) Icing on the safety gear and/or guide rail may be prevented by:
– Automatic lubrication at the top and bottom guide shoe
– Spring-loaded plastic ice shaver above and below the lubricator
– Resistance heating for the safety gears.
– Controller-initiated periodic travels during freezing conditions, for example about
one travel per hour if T = -5 ... 0 °C and about two travels per hour if T < -5 °C.
– Temperature measuring at the coldest spot of the hoistway.

6.7 Heavy Exposure to Dirt

Heavy exposure to dirt (with possibly accumulative effect) has a negative effect on the
functional reliability of progressive safety gears and therefore requires protective measures:
1) Corrosion protection D0
2) Dust guards against:
– Dust storms
– Dust generation from storage facilities for coal, flour, cement, grain, etc.

6.8 Installations with Explosion Hazard Up to VKN = 1.6 m/s

y No sparking has been noticed on SCHINDLER safety gears of the progressive type of
any generation.
y On progressive safety gears,
– The brake plates only heat up during the braking.
– The maximum braking time at a free fall is two seconds approximately.
y The requirements according to T3 of EN 50014 (DIN 57 165 / VDE 0165) are met:
Maximum surface temperature of the operating means = 200 °C
y The requirements according to T4 of EN 50014 (DIN 57 165 / VDE 0165) are not met:
Maximum surface temperature of the operating means = 135 °C.
