Elevators are one of the most widely used lifting machines today. With the rise of the heights of buildings, it is a necessity to produce elevators, which are frequently used in residential buildings, shopping centers, and workplaces, in a way that protects human health and life safety. It is very important to ensure safety in the elevator system.
Elevators, which provide transportation between floors in buildings, work by moving the steel lines connected to the elevator motor up or down the transport room where people or loads are located. The reason for the use of steel ropes in the working system of the elevator is quite simple. The cabin and counterweights are hung by steel lines. Ropes are one of the most important elevator equipment that provides vertical movement. Since it is the main complement of the elevator transport system, it should be produced from very high quality and durable materials to ensure human health and life safety. International Elevator Standards also attach great importance to the safety of elevator ropes. The rules to be observed in the production are detailed. They are very reliable carriers when ropes that meet the requirements of the standard and are suitable for the structure and carrying capacity are used.
Elevator ropes should be selected in accordance with the project at the beginning of the project. Elevator ropes that can carry the system to be installed according to the conditions of each building should be used. Even the temperature of the working environment where the ropes will be used is effective in choosing the right elevator rope.
Elevator ropes are classified according to the winding shape of the wires in their cords. They are called straight-wound and cross-wound lines and are classified in two ways.
- According to the arrangement of the wires forming the cords
- According to the way the cords are wrapped
In the production of ropes, the wires that make up the cords must be produced according to the standards.
In the selection of elevator ropes, one of the main carrier elements of the elevator, the maximum pulling force created by a single rope should be well calculated. The place of use where the installation will be installed, the desired speed in the elevator and the maximum pulling force values that will occur in the rope are important calculations. Safety value should be determined correctly in engineering studies. Each result should be evaluated in relation to the other.
As CEO ELEVATOR, we attach great importance to safety in elevator facilities. Elevator steel lines can wear out over time with use. May be exposed to electric current. It can be exposed to high heat. CEO ELEVATOR, which exists in all areas of the elevator, thoroughly evaluates the possibilities of all these negative factors at the place where the elevator installation will be installed. Performs the selection of the rope that is suitable for the conditions in which the elevator will operate.
