Investing in a top-quality elevator, with speed control is beneficial to the elevator, the building and the people who use it. Enjoy a smooth, jerk free, comfortable ride, and ensures that the life of the lift and all its components is optimised as much as possible.
Have you ever travelled in a lift and been taken aback when the lift either starts or stops with a jerk?
While a jerk can be discomfiting to the passengers in the lift, it is indeed harmful to the mechanical and electrical components in the lift and reduce the operational life of the lift. Additionally, the wear and tear caused by the jerk can cause the lift to either unexpectedly stall or need continuous overhauling.
Professional Elevators designs and manufactures elevators that move smoothly, at constant speeds ensuring that your ride in the elevator is as comfortable as possible. In fact, as you can observe in the video below a coin placed on its edge on the handrail of the elevator, does not fall when the elevator moves between floors. The smooth and noiseless operation on our elevators ensures that the coin does not fall at all.
One jerk at a time: Harming your elevator
When an elevator moves fast, or accelerates suddenly, it results in the elevator being noisy. This can be annoying to passengers travelling in the lift, and more importantly to the people living near, or operating the lift.
As discomfiting as it may seem, as mentioned earlier this is extremely damaging to the elevator system as well. Fast elevator speeds cause immense friction between the moving and fixed components of the elevator, and result in accelerated wear and tear of all the components in the lift and can cause the lift to fail faster.
The sudden jerk experienced by the elevator, when its either starts or comes to an abrupt halt causes vibrations and results in creating an impact force on all components. When the components of the elevator experience this impact continually, or suddenly in one go, they tend to get fractured or break suddenly. This ultimately leads to the elevator needing overhauling, that can simply be avoided if the right speed control systems, and components are in place.
Although, not common, this vibration can also cause problems to the structure of the lift shaft and building if the structure is weak, ultimately resulting in cracks on the surface of the building.
Improving your elevator’s performance: Speed Control
In contrast to traditional lifts or elevators, the robust elevators designed by Professional Elevators are equipped with cutting edge control systems, that ensure that the speed of the elevator is maintained at an optimum, and jerks are eliminated. Professional elevators ensures that your ride in our elevators is as smooth as possible by using a combination of top-class motors, specially engineered components that reduce friction and most importantly a well designed control system that prevents the lift car from speeding over the optimum speed of one meter per second.
This in turn ensures that the frame, electronic components, and mechanical drives are not subjected to sudden impact. The optimum speed minimized the fatigue and load on the static and moving components on the elevator, and reduced friction between the components of the elevator, ultimately prolonging the life of the components of the elevator, and the longevity of the elevator!
It also protects your building and shaft from the damaging effects of sudden impact, by absolutely preventing any sudden impact from occurring whatsoever.
