Section: BSAR-3D DEFINE THE PARTS OF AN ELEVATOR AND THEIR USES. SPACE PROVIDED.
MACHINE ROOM - holds the elevator's drives and
controllers and is where you will find the main control systems for the elevators as well. DRIVING MACHINE – It is a power unit that applies the energy necessary to drive an elevator. MOTOR GENERATOR - It is to convert a building’s alternating current (AC) electricity supply into direct current (DC) for powering the DC hoisting machine and controller of the elevator. SUSPENSION ROPES – it is to suspend the elevator cab and make the car go up and down. CAR ROLLER GUIDES – it is to travel along the hoistway rails to keep your elevator car properly aligned as it moves up and down in the hoistway. TRAVELLING CABLE – it is used for power transmission to the elevator car, and communication between the controller, and the elevator car. CAR GUIDE RAIL – it allows for the safe and precise movement of the car and counterweights. HOISTWAY - also commonly referred to as the shaft, shaftway or hatchway is the space in which the elevator travels. CONTROLLER – the controller monitors the systems, receives signals from the elevator and sends out signals that manage the different components. GOVERNOR - is a speed monitoring device on traction elevators that triggers a safety mounted on the car frame when the elevator reaches high speeds in either direction. CAR – elevator car moves in a vertical shaft to carry passengers between the levels of a multistory building. COUNTERWEIGHT GUIDE RAIL- is what allows for the safe and precise movement of the car and counterweight. COUNTER WEIGHT ROLLER GUIDE - Its purpose is to make lifting the load more efficient, saving energy and applying less response on the lifting machine. COUNTERWEIGHT – it plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency of elevator systems. BUFFERS - to provide protection against the malfunction of an elevator control system resulting in the elevator continuing to travel past the lowest stop to the base of the elevator shaft.
