Introduction to Elevators

What is an Elevator?
Elevator is equipment meant for transporting men and material in vertical plane.
Based on the principle of operation, elevators are categorized as Drum type,
Hydraulic type & Traction elevator and based on the application, elevators are
classified as Passenger elevator, Goods elevator, Bed elevator and Dumb waiters.
Passenger Elevators are generally designed based on the customer’s requirement,

type of application and size of the shaft. Other factors like speed, load, and number of
elevators to be installed in a building are decided based on Waiting Time and
Transportation Capacity requirements.

The elevator works due to the friction between the sheave and ropes. The following
are the critical factors, which influence the traction
1.Sheave material
2.Rope material
3.Type of Groove
4.Car (dead weight of the car)
5.Counter weight
6.Angle of wrap.
Therefore it is important to ensure proper traction.
For the Traction to be effective the following empirical formula has to be satisfied.
T1/T2 > mu * theta

e
Where T1 = Mass of the car side, T2 = Mass of the counter weight

Mu = co oefficient of friction
Theta = Angle of wrap in radians
Machinery Unit:
The power supply fed from the drive unit of control panel drives the motor according
to the speed requirement of the elevator. The output of the machinery then drives the
car body up and down. The motor unit is designed considering the capacity and
speed of the elevator.
Hoisting rope:
The car and counterweight are suspended in the main rope. The ends of the ropes
are fixed to the car and counterweight in case of 1:1 roping and to anchorage points in
case of 2:1 roping. Factor of safety is always greater than 10.
The following influences the speed of the elevator.

1) The motor RPM
2) The gear ratio
3) The diameter of the sheave
The motor is influenced by the Contract load, Balancing percentage, Speed and
system efficiency.
Motor kw = 0.746 * Contract load * speed / (150 * efficiency)
Efficiency of the geared system varies between 40 to 60%

Guides and Fixings:
The guide rails are used to guide the car and counterweight in the vertical direction.
The guide rails are of ‘ T ‘shape. The raw material for the rails are of ST42-S as per IS
2062.
The Rails are planed on the three guiding faces to facilitate smooth guiding of the
elevator car and counter weight. The machined surfaces of the guide rails are
protected using anti corrosive solution and later on after installation at site, cleaned
and lubricated. The rails are grooved on the ends to ensure matching. Tongue shape
is machined on one end and groove is machined on the other end. The tongue and
groove matching ensures swift and accurate installation and smooth ride.
The guide rails are fixed to the elevator shaft or separator channels using Guide rail
brackets. The brackets are made of fabricated sheet steel. The brackets are rigidly
fastened to the elevator shaft or separator channels using expansion bolts (concrete
shaft) and rag bolts (brick shaft) or fasteners. The Guide rails are fixed to the guide
rail brackets using Guide clips.
Minimums of 2 brackets are used for fixing one length of guide rail. The maximum
length of one guide rail is 5000mm.The maximum distance of bracket spacing is
2500mm.
The individual guide rails are fixed together by matching the tongue and groove and
by means of machined rail plates and fasteners.
The guide rail sections and the brackets and their spacing are designed to with stand
the forces due to the safety gear impact due to over speeding of fully loaded car
without permanent deformation or bending due to uneven loading of the car and the
guide rail deflections with in 5 mm under normal operation.
Car Frame and car Guide Shoes:
The Car frame is used to house the Elevator Car. Isolations are provided between the
car frame and the car. This ensures the loads not transferred to the enclosure.
The major sub components of car frame are lower beam assembly, upper beam
assembly, verticals and isolations. The safety gear and the diverters for roping (under
slung) are mounted on to the lower beam assembly. High tensile fasteners match the
lower and upper beams and the verticals.
The load bearing members are designed for a factor of safety of 5 and to with stand
the operation of the safety gear without permanent deformation. The car frame is
guided on to the car guide rails using guide shoes fitted on the car frame. Four guide
shoes are used (two in bottom and two on top)

The renewable guide liners that require minimum lubrication are fixed to the fabricated
guide shoes. Oil cups are provided on the top guide shoes for lubrication.
Car Enclosure:
The car enclosure is made of panel construction. The panel sizes and proportions are
designed for aesthetic appeal of the car. The panels are fixed rigidly to each other and
to platform and car roof by fasteners.
The panels are designed to ensure that there is no permanent deformation and the
deflection with in 10mm, when a pressure of 335 N is applied horizontally at any point
over an area of 5cm2 on the walls from inside of the car towards out side.
The car plat form and the car roof to which the car panels are fixed is mounted on the
car frame by isolations which insulates the noise and vibration.
Car ceiling
Car interior

Car Platform:
The Car Platform is of fabricated construction. The platform is designed for a factor of
safety of 5 considering evenly distributed load over the platform area.
The platform is mounted on the Isolations that ensure the noise and vibrations are
dampened.
Floor finishes as per requirement are given. The interior if done by customer has to be
told in advance as it can have an impact on the total system selection.
Car roof:
The car roof is constructed out of sheet steel. The car roof is designed for the factor of
safety of 5 in bending. The roof is designed to enable at least 2 persons to stand on
the top for maintenance. The car fan for ventilation is fixed to car roof. Car top
balustrade is fixed to car roof. This is a safety guard for the service personnel working
on car top during maintenance.
Car Ceiling:
Car ceiling is provided for aesthetic enhancement of the roof. The Car ceiling made of
panel construction. The material of Car ceiling is chosen to match with the aesthetics
of the car. The car lighting is fixed to car ceiling. The lighting can be of direct type or
indirect type.
Counterweight:
The purpose of the Counter weight is to balance for the Mass of the empty car (sling,
car and car doors) and for the rated load. The balancing for the rated load is done for
50%.
The counter weights are housed in fabricated sheet steel Frame. Counter weights are
made of Grey Cast Iron-Grade FG150-IS210. A screen or counter weight guard is
provided at about 300 mm from the pit floor to about 2200mm covering the width of
counter weight frame.
The counter weight frame is guided on to the counter weight guide rails using guide
shoes fitted on the counter weight frame. Four guide shoes are used (two in bottom
and two on top). The renewable guide liners (plastic), which require minimum
lubrication, are fixed to the fabricated guide shoes.

Over speed governor and Safety gear:
The elevator car frame is provided with progressive safety gear. The safety gear is
connected to car overspeed governor ropes. In case of over speeding of the elevator
in the down direction, the overspeed governor (calibrated to actuate when the speed
exceeds 115% and before140% of nominal speed) actuates the safety gear and the
safety gear grips the car guide rails making the car to stop. The over speed governor
contact fixed to over speed governor and safety gear contact fixed to the safety gear
mechanism actuates during the safety actuation and removes power supply to the
control and drive.
The tension weight for the over speed governor ropes is fixed to the guide rail in the
pit and the governor ropes pass through the tension weight wheels which provide
tension/traction to the over speed governor ropes.
Upon inspecting for any safety issues and ensuring the system for safety the trained
personnel can release the safety by moving the car in up direction.
Buffers:
Spring buffers are provided for Car and Counterweight when the speed of the elevator
is up to and equal to 1.5 m/s. Oil buffers are used for speeds above 1.5 m/s. These
are provided to take the impact of the buffering car.
Elevator Power Doors:
Power operated doors
Power operated doors can be Center opening or side opening type.
Center opening power operated doors
The Car door consists of the Door operator, Doorsill, Doors and fixing accessories.
The landing door can be of fire rated design if required. The door is designed to
withstand horizontal or lateral load according to IS:14665.
The sill is made up of Aluminium
The Car door operator houses the Motor, door control module and the door driving
mechanism.
The Doors are connected to the door operator hanger plates. The door hangers are
fitted with 2 rollers per door, which slide on the track made of formed cold rolled steel.
There are two anti lift rollers provided to prevent the up thrust of the door.

There are electric door contacts provided in each door to ensure that the elevator will
not operate unless the doors are not closed and locked.
The door panel movements are synchronized by means of a roping arrangement. If

we open any one-side door (left or right), the other side door also opens by this
arrangement.
The Coupler mechanism is fixed to the Car door operator, which ensures smooth
synchronization with the landing doors during opening and closing.
Interlocking of the Car door (car door lock): Mechanical lock can be provided in the
Coupler, which ensures the interlocking system of the doors when closed. This
feature ensures that the car door cannot open or forced open when the elevator is not
in Door zone.
Interlocking of the Landing doors: The landing doors are mechanically and electrically
interlocked. The lock latch provides the interlocking system and hence the door
cannot be forced open from the lobby.
A toe guard is provided for the car and also for each and every landing. In the car it is
fixed to the car doorsill. The toe guard projects 300 mm beyond the finished floor level
and prevents trapping between the underside of the car platform and the landing,
during elevator leveling and re-leveling.
The Doorframe consists of 2 vertical jamb panels.
A self-closing weight is provided in all landing doors. In case the landing doors are
opened using emergency key, the self-closing weight, which connects the two doors,
will ensure that the doors close due to the dead weight when left free.

MONOSPACE CONCEPT (Machineroomless Elevator)
The idea is to make things simpler - no machine room any more! Better and faster
drive system that gives a good ride comfort!
The heart of the MonoSpace concept is a component called EcoDisc® - a motor

which has comb-like stator bent into a ring. New materials have made it possible to
make strong and light permanent magnets for electric motors. To give a passenger
the most pleasant ride possible, the elevator must run smoothly and quietly. To
achieve that, the elevator’s control system must function well. Its “brains” must think
fast and its “muscles” must be in good shape. The KONE MonoSpace® controller
consists of two main parts: the elevator computer (the “brains”) and the V3F - inverter
unit (the “muscles”).
The software packages in the controller are standardized and can be used in all
deliveries. Furthermore, there are some parameters to adjust features to the
requirements of the country or to customer needs.
Almost all elevator equipment is located in the shaft.
In the KONE MonoSpace® the controller, drive unit and braking resistor module are
located in the shaft. Only the Maintenance Access Panel (MAP) is located at the
topmost landing. This new type of electrification architecture is called LCE No
Cabinet.
EcoDisc® machinery
Tacho
Sheave
Brake
Guide Rail

A compact design, in which the traction sheave is integrated with rotor, is of this type.
EcoDisc® is an axial Synchronous motor with permanent magnets. Due to the low
Revolutions Per Minutes (RPM) and the lack of a reduction gear it produces less
vibration. The traction sheave is integrated into the rotor. There are two independent
brakes: one brake is capable of holding the car in place with full load.
EcoDisc® has a flat and compact design with fewer moving parts and therefore higher
reliability. It needs no lubricating oil and it has lower power consumption than any
other conventional elevator machinery. The EcoDisc® hoisting unit in MonoSpace™
elevator is placed between the guide rail and the shaft wall.
LCE No Cabinet control and electrification
All parts of the controller are located in the shaft except the MAP panel.
The MAP can be wall mounted or integrated into the landing doorframe.
The controller is of three major units. They are the variable frequency drive (V3F16L),
and LCE control boards plus transformers (Shaft Electrification Panel) are taken into
the separate boxes into the shaft. Switches, fuses and the User interface are inside a
MAP panel, which is located at the topmost landing. This allows easy use and access
to those parts that are most often needed. Notice that the MAP panel can be
integrated into the landing doorframe or mounted on the wall.
Sheave The torque and the speed of the motor will be transferred to the car and
cwt by the means of the rope and sheave. The traction (friction) between the sheave
and the rope ensures the slip is minimum.
Tacho The actual speed will vary due to the load engaged in the elevator. The
tacho generator will sense the actual speed and the same will give the feedback to
the drive. In turn, the drive will increase or decrease the speed of the elevator.
Brake This is to hold the elevator mechanically. Before the application of the
brake the machine will come to 0 rpm by electrically and then only the brake will be
applied and hold the elevator.
Suspension arrangement
Roping goes under the car.
All components are fixed onto the guide rails, so the forces are directed onto the
bottom of pit The height of the pit and the needed headroom above the car have been
minimized by the positioning of the hoist motor and the under-the-car-roping -method.
There are mono stable magnetic switches and plastoferrite magnetic stripes that give
information about the car position.

ECO DISC:
It is a compact design where the traction sheave is integrated in to rotor. EcoDiscTM

is an axial synchronous motor with permanent magnets. Due to the low RPM and the
lack of a reduction gear it produces less vibration. The traction sheave is integrated
into the rotor.

BRAKE:
There are two independent brakes: one brake is capable of holding the car in place
with full load. It meets the new regulation on preventing the car from free-falling
upwards.
EcoDiscTM has a flat and compact design with fewer moving parts and therefore
higher reliability. It needs no lubricating oil and it has lower power consumption than
any other conventional elevator machinery.

3. BASEMENT DRIVES
GENERAL
The basement drives require a comparatively less height from the top
of the terminal floor to the top of the building (headroom = wheel room). The
machine is located at the basement and only wheel room is required to enable
roping.
Due to this benefit these drives are used where there is a restriction in
building height, owing to the building codes in the locality exist and also for
architectural purposes.
The machine can be kept at any level (not only at the basement) and
these drives are called side drive lifts. Because of the reduction in height of the
building, there is a considerable saving in the building cost of the elevator Shaft.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Basement drives or side lifts, has the machine in the basement or at
any level of the building adjacent to the lift shaft.
The hoisting ropes are taken thro’ a pair of diverter from the machine
sheave to the diverting pulleys fitted in the wheel room, which enables the ropes
to get terminate to car and counter weight in 1:1 roping. The machine, in
basement / side drive lifts has an upward thrust when compared to lifts with
machine above arrangement. Suitable joints are used to take upward thrust and

Car Sling

CAR SLINGS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The sling is a supporting frame to which the car platform. Upper and lower sets of
guide shoes, car safety gear and the lifting ropes with or without car divertors are attached.
It supports the lift car with the rated load. Sling is guided on each car guide rail by upper
and lower guide shoes attached to it. Elevator cars are suspended by steel ropes attached
to sling top frame known as cross head or passing around the car divertors fixed to the cross
head. The other end of these steel ropes are passed over the traction sheave and are
connected to the counter weight.
PRODUCT FEATURES
SLING FRAME consists of two horizontal members at top, two horizontal
members at bottom on either side of the two up rights. All members are made of structural
steel and the whole assembly is bolted together.
SAFETY GEAR is a mechanical device for stopping the car (or counter weight) by
gripping the guide rails in the event of the car speed attaining a predetermined value in a
downward direction of travel irrespective of the reason for the increase in speed. Safety
gears are actuated by the overspeed governor and the predetermined value of the car speed

3.9 Travelling Cable Hanger
It provides support for the travelling cables.
3.10 Buffer striker Plates
Buffer striker plate is the plate that is fixed to the lower beam of the sling, which compresses
the Car buffer in case of the over shooting of the car.
3.11 SAFETY GEAR - INSTANTANEOUS TYPE (WITH ROLLER)

This safety gear type is used in elevators with rated speed upto 1m/s. This safety
gear uses a hardened knurled steel roller, guided in a tapered steel jaw for each guide.
This steel jaw has the recess with taper on one side and straight face on the other side.
The roller is mounted on an actuating lever to which the overspeed governor rope is
connected. Movement of the governor rope linkage due to over speed governor tripping
causes the rollers to rise and clamp the guides against the self aligning, straight jaw faces.

4 INTERFACES
4.1 Interface to the elevator controller
The elevator controller is TMS216/ TMS516

with the interface and software very similar to
earlier geared KONE drives.
4.2 Interface to the shaft
V3F-20 has an internal position counting and it

needs shaft information only for synchronizing
the position counter. The shaft equipment are
mainly needed for TMS to make relevelling and
short floor drive. There are normally 3 vane
lines or in case of short floor 4 lines max.
4.3 Interface to the motor, gear and

tachometer
The machinery is always geared. Only a worm

gear will be used.
V3F-20 needs an analog tachometer for speed

and position counting.

Optional Devices

KONE RESCUE DEVICE (KRD)
1. INTRODUCTION:
The KRD is an optional Microcontroller based automatic rescue device for a single
elevator. It is a separate control panel, which can be used with all elevators having AC
Motors.
The KRD unit gives the temporary energy supply to hoist motor, brake and door motor,
when the main power supply is not available. The energy of the device comes from
rechargeable maintenance free batteries, which are housed inside the KRD panel itself.
The KRD brings the lift to the nearest floor either in the case of a power failure or in the
case of elevator controller system failure. In both cases KRD starts up automatically and
drives the elevator at low speed to the nearest floor and opens the door automatically then
the control is transferred to the main power supply.
In case of main controller system failure if the lift is stuck in between floors, after 40
seconds time KRD will start its rescue operation.
2. DESCRIPTION:
Rescue Operation
When the main power fails or lift control system fails, the KRD commences its operation.
The changeover contactors connect the safety circuit and door motor to the KRD unit.
First the KRD will check the position of lift, the lift is at any floor level the KRD will
simply open the door. When the lift is out of floor level then the door will be closed and
kept closed until the elevator reaches the floor.
If the safety circuit is closed, the KRD main contactors connects the traction motor and
electro-mechanical brake to the KRD power supply.
When the safety circuit is closed, the lift is driven for about 3 seconds in the DOWN
direction and stopped. Then the lift driven in the UP direction for 3 seconds and stopped.
During these two drive phases the current drawn by the motor from battery is measured
and compared by the system. The direction in which the current drawn is minimum will
be selected for the rescue operation. This is called most favorable direction selection.
After selection of the most favorable direction, KRD device drives the lift continuously
until it reaches the next landing level. On reaching the floor level, the traction motor will
be stopped by releasing main contractors and the electro-mechanical brake.

After this, the door motor relays will change the door motor supply polarity and the door
will open.
At the end of cycle, the changeover contactors connect everything back to the elevator
control panel and the elevator can start normally when the power supply is restored.
If the main power supply is restored during the KRD operation, it is ignored and the
rescue will continue until the end of cycle, i.e. until it reaches a floor. Level.
3. SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Rescue operation for power breakdown as well as system fault.

- Select most favorable direction (current drawn is minimum)
- User friendly batteries.
Sealed maintenance free batteries.
Compact size, kept inside KRD panel.
- Improved reliability.
Microcontroller based.
Lesser number of PCBs used.
- Field friendly design
Reduced installation / commissioning time.
Easy trouble shooting by error codes shown on digital display.
- Supervision:
Over Current
Over Speed
Inverter Operation.
Note: There are different versions of KRD available to suit the lift motor kW rating,
door type and brake voltage.
4. BENEFITS:
The trapped passengers inside the lift will be rescued automatically without human
interference in case of power failure and also in case of main control system failure /
fault.

LIFT ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEM
1 INTRODUCTION
The lift announcement system is one which announces the floor numbers and some
special messages in the lift itself by using a speaker. The unit normally gives a music
when no floor announcement or special messages is to be given. When the Lift reaches
any floor then this unit gives that particular floor announcement and continues to play the
music from wherever it has lift. This unit has an external speaker provision as well as a
local speaker for hearing the announcements.
The activating signals are active low, that means +24V has to be connected to the
common point and a ground signal has to be connected to the actuation points of floor or
special message inputs. This unit is provided with a connector card where the actuation
points are terminated in connectors. For any floor announcement an active low signal is
to be connected to the corresponding floor point and the slowing down signal point. For
next floor announcement the slowing down signal has to return to high and then active
low. For special messages the corresponding input points only need to be connected to
the active low signal.
2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Lift Announcement System can be made ON or OFF by using a red switch provided
in the front panel of the unit. When the unit is ON a Green LED would glow in the front
panel.
The announcements to be made are stored in the memory. A speaker is provided inside
the unit itself. A black colour switch is provided on the right hand corner. When it is
switched ON, the internal speaker is connected to the circuit in addition to the external
speaker. So the music and announcements can be heard from LAS panel itself. To hear
the messages stored, in the unit, simply press the mini toggle (TEST) switch ON for a
while and release to OFF position. Now all the messages stored will be played one by

one. For the normal operation keep this switch in OFF condition; otherwise all the
messages will be repeated again and again.
2.1 AUDIO CONTROLS
The volume can be adjusted by adjusting a potentiometer provided in the right hand side.
The tone also can be adjusted using the tone control pot provided below the volume
control.
2.2 FLOOR MESSAGES
The system will announce the floor designations. Basements floor announcements are
also possible. The floor announcements are as follows: Basement floor, Ground floor,
First floor, Second floor,….. Sixteenth floor.
2.3 SPEICAL MESSAGES
The system will announce the following 4 special messages in addition to the floor
information.
- "Please allow the door to close".
When the door is not allowed to closed either by pressing the "Door open" button
or by activating door safety edge, the computer will sense and activate this
message after a time delay.
- "Don't panic. Press the alarm button or call for help through the
intercom".
- This lift is from KONE.
- You are using a KONE lift.
3 OPTIONS
3.1 TIME AND TEMPERATURE

In addition to the above features the LAS can also display and announce time and
temperature. This is an optional feature provided at extra cost. For doing this, a remote
display unit will be placed inside the car, which is serially connected to the main unit in
the machine room.
The main unit has a 24 hours clock circuit. There will be time display in the main unit
also. Provision for setting hours, minutes and AM / PM is provided.
The remote display unit has a built in temperature sensor. The temperature will be
displayed alternatively using the same display as what is used for displaying the time.
