Publisher's Synopsis
Describing how to achieve the mechanical aspects of the design of an electric elevator, this book also discusses why the designs are implemented in a particular way.;The principles and concepts of all mechanical components of an elevator are discussed in detail, supported wherever necessary by mathematical analysis. Care has been taken to utilize any state-of-the-art technology applicable worldwide and drawn from current manufacturing practice in Europe and the USA.;The book contains many self-contained chapters which deal with each major mechanical component in depth. All chapters contain detailed drawings and a large number of photographs. Adherence to national and international standards has been particularly emphasized. Methods of calculation of component features are included and the careful selection of components has been stressed.
