Elevator Safety–Understanding Common Problems and Solutions

At Fuji Elevator Company, safety is our top priority. We understand the critical importance of ensuring that our elevators operate smoothly and securely, providing peace of mind to passengers every time they step inside. In this blog post, we delve into the analysis of common problems related to elevator car accidental movement protection devices and the solutions to address them effectively.

1. Device to Cut Off Brake Power Supply: One crucial aspect of elevator safety is having a mechanism in place to cut off the brake power supply. This device serves as a safeguard, halting the elevator car in case of unexpected movement or malfunction. At Fuji Elevator Company, we ensure that our elevators are equipped with reliable systems, such as contactors or safety circuits containing electronic components, to fulfill this vital function.

2. On-Site Testing and Distance Limits: During on-site testing, it’s essential to adhere to specific distance limits to assess the performance of elevator safety features accurately. At Fuji Elevator Company, we follow rigorous testing protocols. For instance, distances are measured using precise instruments like the Portable Measurement Tool (PMT) for stopping distance and the Ultrasonic Car Movement Profile (UCMP) detection subsystem for detecting movement within set parameters.

3. Downward Deceleration Control: Controlling downward deceleration is crucial for elevator safety. Our engineers at Fuji Elevator Company ensure that the braking components of our elevators do not cause excessive deceleration, maintaining passenger safety during unexpected movements. We adhere to strict guidelines to ensure that deceleration remains within permissible limits, preventing any potential risks to passengers.

4. Balance Coefficient Adjustment: Elevators may encounter varying loads, necessitating adjustments to the balance coefficient for optimal performance. Fuji Elevator Company ensures that our elevators are designed to accommodate different masses efficiently. Whether it’s for a specific site with consistent loads or for varying masses, we provide the appropriate balance coefficient to ensure smooth operation under all conditions.

At Fuji Elevator Company, we are committed to excellence in elevator safety. Through rigorous testing, adherence to industry standards, and continuous innovation, we strive to provide elevators that not only meet but exceed safety expectations. Your safety is our priority, and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that Fuji elevators remain synonymous with reliability, efficiency, and, above all, safety.
