In the residential development, statutory regulations are framed for lifts requirement for fire fighting and rescuing of people when a building is on fire. Lift application consists of commercial, hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, residential and car park. Wherever it’s installed, it is a faster way of going to the particular floor.

Their carrying capacities are generally rated limited to 500kg. Henceforth, they are usually used to transfer small items with a short vertical travelling distance.

Slow-speed de motors and ac motors, expensive and massive are necessary to maintain the necessary torque to directly drive the large-diameter sheaves. The larger-diameter sheaves conform to the bending radius of elevator steel ropes. A safety code of limitation for good practice for long rope life and is established at a minimum of 40 times the diameter of the wire rope used. The slow speed of the direct drive gearless traction machine is depending on the elevator installed.

Gearless Lifts ii. Geared Traction Lifts b) Hydraulic Lifts 121 Gearless Lifts The gearless traction elevator consists of a large, slow-speed (50 to 200 rpm) de motor of four to eight poles directly connected to a drive shaft of about 750 to 1200mm in diameter, Fig 1.2.1 ~ Typleal Gearless Machine “Titeeineiogy ereee ics beAveat 12.2 Geared Traction Machines Fig 1.2.2 ~ Typical Geared Machine The geared traction elevator machine utilizes a reduction gear with a high-speed motor to drive the traction sheave. A high speed ac or de motor drives a worm and gear reduction unit which in turn drives the hoisting sheave. The result is having the slow sheave speed and high torque for elevator work. ‘A brake is applied by spring to stop the elevator or hold the ear at the floor level The geared traction machine is used for elevators and dumbwaiters of all capacities from 10-14000 kg of more at speeds of 0.1 to 2.5m/s.

Elevator manufacturers detailed specifications on construction requirements have to be referred. The elevator designers will have the information of the lifts reaction forces and loading which will in turn determines the support requirements. This information is also required by the Structural Engineer who designs the wall where the support is to be anchored to. The structural loading of the lift is also required for his design. “Ut een rrr vata Dy BCA ACADEMY 1.3 Lift Installation 1.3.1. General Installation Notes To make an elevator platform travel up and down smoothly and safely, certain structural requirements must be met. Each elevator must have guides or rails that keep it in a sub-statically vertical path and provide the columns from which an elevator maybe supported if not continued operation becomes unsafe. Support is accomplished by means of safety application, which consists of a device below the elevator platform to stop and hold the elevator on the rails if an over-speed occurs in the down direction. During safety application, the entire weight of the elevator is arrested and transferred to the building structure through the rails. The safety devices are designed to stop an elevator that has a structural weight of 3600 kg + a passenger load of 1800 kg or more. The operating lift may be travelling at 1 m/s or more, by clamping it on the building structure through the guide rails will require sizable rails and rail supports. In additional to the rails, rail supports or brackets must be provided.

This is a structural base composed either of wood and angle iron or all steel. The dimension of the internal lift car's platform is controlled by the lift capacity. The dimension can be referred to the Singapore Standard 550 — Code of Practice for Installation, operation and maintenance of electric passenger and goods lifts. The platform should be cushioned on elastomer pads, on a sound isolation sub-frame. The platform and its sound isolation frame rest on the safety plank, which also supports the elevator safety device, clamps that will stop and hold the elevator on the rails in case of an over speed downwards. The safety plank must be designed to absorb the impact from the elevator buffers located in the pit. When the elevator stopped at the lowest floor, it would travel an excess of a few cm over before striking the buffer. The buffer is designed to stop the elevator if it travels at its operating speed past the lowest floor. The buffer absorbs the kinetic energy of the elevator despite the rough landing it within safe limits.

Such isolation is elastomer pads but require additional rail space. The supporting structure must be constructed to withstand the force of a safety application and the lifting forces on the elevator as well as the weight of the mechanism that will operate the doors. The requirement minimum clearance between moving pieces of equipment in hoist-ways are required to comply with manufacturers’ specifications and requirements. Cars must have installed ventilation apertures in the upper and lower parts. The effective area of ventilation apertures situated in the upper part of the car should be at least 1% of the nett car platform area; the same also applies for the apertures in the lower part of the car.vito -taey BCA ACADEMY 1.3.6 Counterweights Counterweights and their guides are usually located behind the car. However, there are some elevators have counterweights at the side, Some of the reasons are as followed : a) deep lift car such as in hospitals bed litt b)through door lift whereby lift has doors in the front and back o)limited hoist way depth They are normally made of cast iron or steel.
