The drive wheel (5) is mounted on a bearing allowing rotation onto the first frame part (3) . The power unit (6) rotates the drive wheel. The diverting wheel (7) is mounted on a bearing allowing free rotation onto the second frame part (4) . The transport surfaces (8) are connected to a traction element (9) which is formed as an endless loop, and which is led to pass over the drive wheel ( 5 ) and the diverting wheel (7) . The tightening device (10) is arranged to act between the first frame part (3) and the second frame part (4) to move the diverting wheel (7) linearly away from the drive wheel (5) in order to exert tightening force on the traction element (9) . The travelator comprises identification means (11) for identifying the drive status of the conveyor (1) , and adjustment means (12) for adjusting the tightening force of the tightening device (10) to different force levels based on the drive status identified. In the method the drive status of the conveyor is identified, and the tightening force of the endless traction element of the conveyor of the travelator is adjusted on the basis of the drive status identified.

A travelator, moving ramp or escalator, comprising a power means (1) and a conveyor (2) having a driven end (3) driven by the power means (1) and a non-driven end (4). The conveyor comprises a first drive element (5) and a second drive element (6), which are at a distance from each other and parallel to each other, each being formed as an endless loop. A number of transport platforms (7), such as pallets or stairs, are arranged one after the other and secured to the first (5) and the second (6) drive elements. The first drive element (5) is passed at the driven end (3) over a first driving pulley (8), which is rotated by the power means (1), and at the non-driven end (4) over a first diverting pulley (9). The second drive element (6) is passed at the driven end (3) over a second driving pulley (10), which is rotated by the power means (1) , and over a second diverting pulley (12) at the non-driven end (4) . Placed at the driven end (3) are first synchronizing means (12) for mutual synchronization of the first driving pulley (8) and the second driving pulley (10). The conveyor (2) additionally comprises second synchronizing means (13), which have been arranged at the non-driven end (4) for mutual synchronization of the first diverting pulley (9) and the second diverting pulley (11).
Abstract:
A travelator, moving ramp or escalator for transporting people, comprising a people mover (1) for supporting and transporting people. A balustrade (2) extends alongside the people mover throughout its length. The balustrade (2) comprises a handrail belt (3) implemented as an endless loop and having an upper handhold portion (4) that the passenger can grasp with a hand for support and a lower return portion (5). A drive means (6) for moving the handrail belt comprises a drive pulley (7) mounted with bearings at the end of the balustrade so as to be rotatable about a first axis (8) of rotation, over which drive pulley the handrail belt is bent by about 180 ° between the handhold portion (4) and the return portion (5), and a power means (9) having a drive shaft (11) rotating about a second axis (10) of rotation to impart rotation to the drive pulley. The first axis (8) of rotation and the second axis (10) of rotation coincide coaxially.
