I. INTRODUCTION

The elevator is a type of vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people or goods between floors (levels, decks) of a building, vessel or other structures. Elevators are generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables or counterweight systems like a hoist, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston like a jack. Elevators are prevalent throughout many multi-level structures. They control the flow of foot traffic between various floors of buildings, they allow disabled persons to access upper-level floors, and they facilitate the movement of large items (such as furniture and office equipment) between various levels of the building. The elevator system exists to help users get from one floor to another in the building. It is particularly useful for those with physical handicaps who may find it difficult or impossible to use the stairs. It is also quite useful for moving large or heavy objects between floors. The elevator control system is an integral part of the elevator system which, as its name suggests, controls the various components of the elevator system to ensure the system functions properly. In agriculture and manufacturing, an elevator is any type of conveyor device used to lift materials in a continuous stream into bins or silos. Several types exist, such as the chain and bucket bucket elevator, grain auger screw conveyor using the principle of Archimedes' screw, or the chain and paddles/forks of hay elevators.

    Wheel and axle is two disks or cylinders, each one with a different radius. They are used in a chain reaction where the wheel has something done to it to make the axle turn. They are used in cars and door knobs. An inclined plane is a plane that’s inclined at an angle. They are used to make work easier over a longer distance. They work by making someone go further to have less strain from being horizontal or vertical. Some examples of this is a hill, slides, and ladder. A lever is a bar that helps move heavy loads. They can transfer effort and work. They work by pushing on one side with weight on the other. Copies of this is teeter totters and wheel barrows. A wedge looks like a slice of cake or pizza but is usually wood or metal and is 3D. They are used to cut wood and can do many other things like hold doors open. They work by separating or holding items together. A screw is a cylinder with an inclined plane wrapped around it. It does work by pressing things together or putting things together. For example, they can press fruit making juice and books. A pulley is a wheel with a rope that lifts heavy weights. This can make work easier when oneself wants something from off the ground higher. They do work by getting pulled on one side to bring the object up. They can be used in construction to move like metal and…

    Otis’ original elevator ran on a steam engine connected to gears and ropes, but later elevators was also run by hydraulic plungers. It consisted of a platform, cables, and shaft that served as the foundation of the elevator, and ran all the way up to the top floor of his building. When powered, the elevator would move upward or downward. The most significant part of the invention was the elevator brake. The brake was basically a steel wagon spring that was attached to the bottom of the platform and top of the shaft and cables. Normally, if one of the supporting cables snapped, the lifting device would fall straight to the ground and most likely cause damage. However, thanks to this new invention and brake, the spring would release pressure and snap open, and fall into beams placed in the shaft, stopping all movement. This new invention worked perfectly, and after demonstrating his new design in 1854, almost every business and building in urban area was ordering and installing Otis’…

    First is the chain lift; a type of lift hill found on roller coasters. It is the most common method of lift hill, and has been used for hundreds of years. A chain lift is propelled by one or two motors under the lift hill. As the motor turns, it moves the chain. When the train enters the lift hill the chain dog attaches itself, and it propels the car forward. Second is the catapult launch-lift; a relatively new part that sets cart in motion, instead of building up potential energy it quickly creates a large amount of kinetic energy. The most popular systems are either a Linear Induction Motor which use electromagnets or the Rotating Wheels method which use thousands of spinning wheels to propel the cart. Last are the brakes; a series of clamps are positioned on the track at the end of the ride, these clamps close in on metal fins under the ride that gradually use friction to slow the ride…

    Kone - Monospace

    1. Introduction Kone is currently facing a precarious financial situation in an industry that competes on price rather than differentiation. Should the situation persist, losses for 1996 will be imminent. With the launch of Kone MonoSpace in Germany, however, the company hopes to make profits as it expands its product line in this very critical market. Germany’s elevator market is the largest in continental Europe and with a market size of 15,500 units in 1995, it is more than the market sizes of the Netherlands, France and the UK combined. The German market is, thus, critical because of its sheer market size and its potential to bring Kone back into a profit making business. This report seeks to address the key considerations of the MonoSpace launch in Germany, its launch strategy and implementation process. 2. MonoSpace’s Value Propositions Currently, MonoSpace can only be used in low-rise buildings because it can not operate on buildings with more than 12 levels. Value propositions of the MonoSpace include: 1. Machine-room-less A machine room is typically 25% of the total elevator cost for geared traction and slightly less for hydraulic elevators. Without the machine room, developers will have more area to rent out or sell. 2. More comfortable ride “ EcoDisc” offers a more comfortable ride as compared to a gearless traction elevator, the most expensive option for an elevator. 3. Extremely energy efficient The energy saved is considerable, ranging between one third to half of other elevator systems. In addition, electrical fuses required for the MonoSpace were $42 a year, significantly cheaper compared to $559 a year for geared traction elevator fuses and $1,119 a year for hydraulic elevator fuses. 4. No oil required Potential fire and environmental hazards are eliminated, as is the cost of oil. 5. Shorter installation time Requires 60 hours less time compared to the simplest traditional elevator 6. Lower construction and installation cost Cost savings can amount…

    Levers manipulate the torque involved and enable construction engineers to lift heavy loads. A pulley serves its basic purpose, which is to distribute the amount of weight needed to lift an object. Inclusion of electronic components has made cranes even easier to operate because the control remains no more manual. A hi-tech crane will essentially be a combination of simpler systems integrated together.…
