An elevator is a device that moves vertically. This means that in the event of a problem, it can be assumed that Earth's gravity will overcome the cabin and cause it to fall. Remember that the presence of defects in the elevator can cause irreparable injuries. In fact, the installation and operation of the building elevator is the beginning of a long way for its permanent maintenance.
In general, there is no system or mechanism that does not require periodic service, maintenance, and inspection, especially systems whose safety plays an essential role in the overall functioning of the system, and their failure causes possible risks to life.
Maintenance of the elevator
General and partial inspection of the parts installed in the elevator and continuous monitoring of the overall performance of this system is called elevator maintenance. Every lifting device should be checked and inspected regularly and at least once a month by trained and experienced people. For example, if a part is about to fail or wear out, it should be replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may damage other parts of the elevator and cause irreparable damage. For example, a worn tow wire will corrode the engine's tension plates and idler plate. If the safety brake of the elevator is not adjusted, this defect may even cause the towing rope to break and the elevator cabin to fall.
Generally, it is obvious that if a part or parts are about to fail or wear out, if not Timely replacement or repair, the possibility of failure of other parts or their failure may cause irreparable damage to the whole system. In the worst case, even life-threatening events are possible. Suppose the steel ropes (ropes) of the elevator are on the verge of wearing out. This abrasion or corrosion of the tension wires causes corrosion of the engine tension plates and waste, therefore the tension plates are also exposed to wear and if the safety brake of the elevator (parachute) is not activated and not adjusted, the rupture of the tension rope causes rupture. The fall of the elevator will cause irreparable loss of life and money.
What are the benefits of periodic service and maintenance?
- Increasing the useful life of the elevator
- Identifying worn and defective parts and replacing them on time
- Reducing the possibility of financial and life losses
- Reducing the costs of spare parts< /p>
Elevator Service Actions:
1. Inspection, lubrication and adjustment of elevators in a regular and systematic program
2. Maintenance and replacement of damaged and rotten parts
3. Periodic safety tests
< 4. Periodic elevator service
Elevators have very complex systems that are made up of various parts and they need periodic maintenance and repairs for passenger comfort and movement without problems.
