Elevators that facilitate multi-storey city life provide convenience in vertical human and cargo transportation. The main power source motor that enables the elevators to operate allows the elevator to move. There are two types of geared and gearless elevator motors. While geared elevator motors provide movement in a box, the gearless elevator motor works directly connected to the pulley. Electric or hydraulic elevator is preferred according to the floor height.
How does the elevator motor work?
The motor, which tries to provide the movement of the drum with elevator ropes by applying a magnetic force, works by acting on the rope pulley with force. The elevator motor is placed in the space at the top of the floors. When the motor starts to work, the cabins connected to the steel rope pulleys move either upwards or downwards.
The motor, which is effective in the operation of the elevator, lifts an average of 40% of the load by moving the steel rope pulleys. The motors of the elevators must be powerful because they are coded to be adjusted on each floor and are constantly recirculating.
In Which Elevators Elevator Motors Are Used
Elevators, which are the easiest way to transport cargo and people; It is used in vehicles such as high-rise buildings, mobile transportation, escalators, escalators, escalators. Alternating current and direct current elevator motor types are selected depending on the usage feature. The elevator motor must be purchased according to ISO 8100 and EN81 international standards.
Elevator Motor Maintenance
Elevator failures can develop due to many reasons. Such as overloading, misuse, steel rope wear, cabin interior and exterior door problems, floor buttons and motor malfunctions. Problems are eliminated immediately by professional teams in this field. The elevator motor must be selected correctly to increase the load carrying capacity.
Elevator maintenance should be done regularly. Elevators that provide comfort must therefore be reliable. Periodic elevator maintenance every 3 months, not during the breakdown process, provides a reliable environment. Thanks to these maintenance, the life of the elevator is extended and the risk of failure in the early process is eliminated.
Elevator efficiency increases thanks to elevator motor maintenance. Elevator motors that are periodically maintained within the scope of legal obligation provide long life and energy efficiency. Motor maintenance is important in terms of detecting deformation situations in advance. Elevator motor fires are also prevented at this detection stage.
What are Elevator Motor Equipments?
Elevator motors that should be selected suitable for different types of elevators;
· Interior and exterior car door systems
· Brake systems
· Cable systems
· Buttons (passage between floors, emergency call, etc.)
· Sensors
· Pulley It constitutes a whole with pulley equipment.
Elevator motors manufactured in accordance with the size of the elevator and the load capacity it will carry must be in world standards. Otherwise it creates danger. Installation should be done professionally for buildings with elevators.
What Should Elevator Motor Selection Be According to?
First of all, elevator motors that provide energy efficiency are preferred, but they should be directly proportional to the capacity of the elevator. 1500 kg should not be loaded on an elevator motor capable of carrying 1000 kg.
