20) Are rectangular blocks of cast-iron or cut steel plates staked in a frame that is supported at the
opposite ends of the cables to which the car is fastened.
counterweights
21) Is the vertical passage way to the car & counterweights.
Shaft
22) Are available with pre-engineered units with speeds of 500 to 1200 ft/min. They offer the
advantages of:
Gearless Traction Machine
23) Are designed to operate within the range of 100 to 450 ft/min, restricting their use to medium-
rise building.
Geared Traction Machine
24) A safety is designed to stop an elevator car automatically before the car speed becomes
excessive. The action of one such device is controlled by the _______.
Governor
25) Their purpose is not to stop a falling car but to bring it to a partially cushioned stop if it would
over travel the lower terminal.
Buffers
26) Are located a few feet below and above the safe limits of the elevator car.

27) CRITERIA FOR ELEVATOR SELECTION

1. [INTERVAL
2. [HANDLING CAPACITY
3. [TRAVEL TIME
28) The elevator solution involves transporting large groups of people from
the street lobby to an upper lobby called a sky plaza. At this point the
passengers transfer to another elevator to continue their upward journey.
Sky-Plaza Systems
29) an old technique, recently revise to answer the needs of tall buildings .
the double deck car increases shaft capacity, decreases the number of
local stop and increases the rental area available.
Double deck elevators
30) In contradiction to the traction type, this hydraulic or plunger elevator
Is raised and lowered quite simply, by means of a movable rod rigidly
fixed to the bottom of the elevator car.
Hydraulic Elevators
31) is a conveyor transport device for transporting people, consisting of individual, linked steps that
move up or down on tracks, which keep the treads horizontal.
Escalators
32) is used to do just what its name implies: to elevate, or lift, freight, or goods. It is built to carry
goods rather than people, though some do both to allow operators and those loading goods
along for the ride.
Given its distinct purpose, a freight elevator is typically larger and can carry more weight than a
passenger elevator. A freight elevator is often custom designed for the warehouse, shopping
center or other large-scale facility it will serve. The designs are based on needed dimensions,
the amount of weight it will carry and how goods will be loaded and unloaded, whether it be by
hand, car or industrial truck. A heavy-duty freight elevator can hold a truck and can handle as
much as 100,000 pounds (45, 359 kilograms), using a dual rope system for support.
Freight Elevators
33) There is a fresh air intake housed on the roof contains a blower to drive
air downward through escalator floor openings, while the exhaust fan
on the roof creates a strong draft upward through an exhaust duct, this ducts
in turn draws air from the separate ducts just under the ceiling of each
moving stairway floor opening.
Sprinkler Vent
34) Four methods of affording protection in case of fire near escalators
are available:

1. [rolling shutter
2. [smoke guard
3. [sprinkler vent
35) is one with an incline not exceeding 5 degrees, where the
the principal function is horizontal motion.

36) is a device with an incline limited to 15 degrees, where vertical
motion is as important or more important than the horizontal component
Moving Ramp
37) is a vertical transport vehicle that efficiently moves people or goods between floors of a building
Elevator or Lift
38) can operate without the use of cables or hydraulics.
Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators
39) An elevator cab is typically borne by six or eight hoist cables, each of which is capable on its
own of supporting the full load of the elevator plus twenty-five per cent more weight
Cable-borne elevators
40) use the principles of hydraulics (in the sense of hydraulic power) to pressurize an above ground
or in-ground piston to raise and lower the car.
Hydraulic Elevator
41) Elevators and lifts used in mines,The method involves destructive testing of a segment of the
cable.
Mine-shaft elevators
42) All elevators, whether traction or hydraulic, require a machine room to store large electric
motors (or hydraulic pumps) and a controller cabinet. This room is located above the hoistway
(or below, for hydraulic elevators) and may contain machinery for a single or a group of
elevators.
