- Authors
Heling, Kevin
- Abstract
This article explores the significance of accurately measuring the weight of elevator systems in their design, installation, performance, and maintenance. It emphasizes the use of new materials and technologies in elevator designs and the impact of elevator masses and weights on safety and performance. The article also discusses changes in safety codes and the importance of proper training in weighing installed equipment. It highlights the difference between mass and weight and stresses the importance of accurate measurements in ensuring safe operation and performance of elevators. Additionally, the text emphasizes the potential errors and impacts of incorrect measurements and suggests using electronic testing methods and accurate algorithms to obtain precise data on masses and stopping forces. It also emphasizes the need for proper training and adherence to correct processes to ensure accurate measurements and safe elevator operation. Lastly, the article mentions the importance of knowing and adjusting the weight of elevator cabs after alterations to maintain balance and safety.
