Escalators and Tavelators

The document discusses various vertical transportation systems used in buildings including lifts, escalators, moving walkways, and stairs. It provides detailed information on the components, drive systems, and installation of escalators. Escalators are moving staircases that transport people between floors using motorized steps on a track allowing the steps to remain horizontal. Key components include the landing platforms, steps, truss, and handrails. The step drive system uses step chains connected to a bull gear shaft to move the escalator steps.

people between floors of a building. The
device consists of amotor -driven chain

COMPONENTS OF ESCALATORS
Landing platform: The two platforms
house the curved sections of the tracks,
as well as the gears and motors that drive
the stairs.
The top platform contains the motor
assembly and the main drive gear, while
the bottom holds the step return idler
sprockets.
Steps: The steps themselves are solid, one
piece, cast in aluminum or steel.

The steps are linked by a continuous metal


chain that forms a closed loop.
Each step in the escalator has two sets of
wheels, which roll along two separate tracks.
The wheels are connected to the rotating chains,
and so are pulled by the drive gear at the top of
the escalator.

Floor plate: $t provides a place for the
passengers to stand before they step onto the
moving stairs. This plate is flush with the finished
floor and is either hinged or removable to allow
easy access to the machinery below.
Truss: The truss is a hollow metal
structure that bridges the lower and upper
landings.
$t is composed of two side sections %oined
together with cross braces across the
bottom and %ust below the top.
The ends of the truss are attached to the
top and bottom landing platforms via steel
or concrete supports.
Handrail: The handrail provides a
convenient handhold for passengers while
they are riding the escalator.
$n an escalator, the handrail is pulled along
its track by a chain that is connected to the
main drive gear by a series of pulleys.
