Adding a rope brake, such as a
Hollister-Whitney
Rope
Gripper™, BODE Rope Brake or a Warner Electric system, to an
existing traction elevator can be a complicated undertaking.
RCB Elevator Consulting, LLC
can custom design the solution, including licensed
structural engineering if required, and
Smart Elevator
Tech, LLC
can provide the shop
fabricated mounting and anchorage assembly, with all of the
fasteners and hardware.
The drawing shown above is just
one of dozens of designs. Others mountings include:
above the machine room floor
between the drive sheave, mounted to the machine beams
through the floor
raising the gearless machine
with a new machine support frame, which carries the rope
brake as well
inverted below the machine beams on the rope drop to the
car or counterweight
attached to the basement machine overhead deflector
sheave support frame
attached directly to the machine base frame with a
series of angles, channels and fasteners
mount horizontally between overhead sheaves
