What is an Elevator?
An elevator is a vehicle with a cabin that moves vertically or horizontally between guide rails to carry people or loads. With the construction of higher and deeper structures, elevators are of great importance so that people and loads can reach the upper and lower floors.
Elevator parts that make up the elevator; elevator motor, elevator brake systems, elevator control systems, elevator cabin, elevator doors, floor, elevator speed controls, electric elevator buttons, elevator ceiling, computer technology, alarm buttons for emergencies, lighting, and communication systems, backup power supplies.
EMA Elevator manufactures Rail Connecting Consoles and Elevator parts.
What are Elevator Rail Fastening Systems?
Elevator rail connection consoles are the units formed by the fasteners used for mounting the elevator rails to the wall.
What are the types?
According to the technical differences of the elevator, there are also different types of elevator rail fastening systems.
1) Side Weight Lift Brackets:
It is a type of elevator rail connection console used in shafts where the elevator counterweight works on the right or left of the car and where the width is greater than the depth.
2) Rear Weight Lift Brackets:
It is a type of rail connection console used in wells where the elevator counterweight works behind the cabin and the depth is greater than the width.
3) Cross Weight Elevator Brackets:
It is a rail connection console used in narrow shafts where elevator car and counterweight rail are connected to the same console.
4) Hydraulic Elevator Consoles:
It is a hydraulic lift rail connection console system for hydraulic lifts.
5) Fitlift Elevator Console:
Fitlift elevator rail connection console is used for L-frame elevators.
How is it produced from what material?
Elevator rail connection consoles are produced from steel plates. Its production is usually carried out in presses with open and closed metalworking molds.
What are the required standards?
EN 81-20 elevator construction and usage safety standards, which are valid in our country and most of the world, deal with the required strength values, but functionality is as important as strength in rail fasteners. As a standard, an elevator console must have certain strength values. For this, raw materials with a certain quality certificate should be used. According to the standard, there should be no welded manufacturing in the elevator consoles. It should be made resistant to corrosion for many years.
