ABOUT
TRAVELATOR
TRAVELATOR IS A SLOW MOVING
CONEYOR MECHANISM THAT
TRANSPORT PEOPLE ACROSS
HORIZONTAL OR INCLINED
PLANE OVER A SHORT TO
MEDIUM DISTANCE. MOVING
TRAVELATORS CAN BE USED BY
STANDING OR WALKING ON
THEM.
 TYPES OF TRAVELATOR OR A MOVING
WALKWAY
A)According To Inclination Angle:
1.Zero degree inclination "Horizontal" moving walkways or travelator
2. Up to 15 degree inclination "Inclined" moving walkway or travelator
B)According To the Flat Moving surface
1.Pallet Type - A continuous series of flat metal plates join together to form a walkway.
2. Moving belt - These are generally built with mesh metal belts or rubber walking

surfaces over metal rollers.

which comprises a stationary first frame part and a second
frame part that moves in relation to it. The drive wheel is
mounted on a bearing allowing rotation onto the first
frame part. The power unit rotates the drive wheel.

MECHANISM
Main Components-

PALLET PALLET CHAIN GEARS, MOTOR, DRIVE CHAINS

 1.The pallets are connected to pallet chain which runs on a track.
2. An axle with gears is used to connect the pallet chain with the motor.
3. The drive chain enables the movement of gears, hence making pallet chain
to move.
4. More gears are added with a drive chain known as handrail drive, for the
movement of handrail in the same speed as pallets.
5. All these parts are placed inside a strong metal frame called as truss.
