Abstract:
A drive system for an elevator installation includes a drive and a drive suspension for fastening the drive to a support element of the elevator installation. The drive suspension includes a rotary joint for tiltably mounting the drive on the support element and an adjustment device for setting a tilt of the drive about the rotary joint. The support element can be a guide rail wherein the drive system is arranged in an upper end region of the elevator installation.
Abstract:
A method and a mechanism for releasing a hydraulically actuated elevator brake system wherein the brake release mechanism includes a rotary pump, a crank handle to manually turn the rotary pump, a fluid supply port, a fluid return port, an output port for connection to a cylinder of the brake system, a rapid exhaust valve having an inlet port connected via the rotary pump to the fluid supply port, a cylinder port selectively connectable to the output port, and an exhaust port connected to the fluid return port. By turning the rotary pump, for example with the crank handle, a continuous flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid is delivered through the rapid exhaust valve and onto the brake cylinder, thereby releasing the hydraulic brake system.
