A camera on a box, filming... (definitely helps if you like lift machines!) 

They didn't even put a VFD yet, still 2 speeds

This is from the 2000s

Quite warm air coming out the other side of that motor

mrmattandmrchay - probably because it’s geared traction and it has to move so fast.

Yes, in the end it was straight to bed, then back on site early the next day. Working abroad - airport>>site>>hotel>>site>>home (+a few lift visits!!)

What is it supposed to be tied/linked onto? (serious question :) )

it isnt supposed to be obstructed in any way, if the lift goes through the top or bottom its there to knock the power off on all 3 phases, its been tied up because its moving in som kind of way.

its usually brake slide on the top floor with an empty car, depending on how the lugs on the rope have been adjusted, the lift will slide higher because of the counterweight, theres something wrong with the brake, oil or the linings are worn, or its not adjusted right.

Netherlands. Thanks for msg

Yup this is Netherlands

Sorry no idea! I guess some bits were supplied from an English speaking country

If I were to choose a modern day lift, then Mitsubishi. Old lift, might have to agree with you there.

Oliwer Gumowski probably not but it might be an over run switch

Seems like some sort of a switch, I thought for a second it could be a sensor of some sort....

It's an overrun switch. It's a static cable running from top to bottom of the shaft. The lift has a ring that travels along the entire length of it but never moves it. If the lift goes too high or low, then there is a nut which cannot travel through the ring and the cable is pulled in one direction. Inside the box in motor room is a trip switch which shuts down the lift which has to be manually reset.

mrmattandmrchay yay I was right lol

Looks like it's been tied down.. with a piece of rope ??

Nope, name doesn't sound familiar.

Thanks

The part that rocks back and forth is constantly accelerating and decelerating as the lift moves. There's a part of the switch that rests on the rocker. When the lift passes a certain speed, the rocker accelerates so much that it flings the switch off and trips its contacts.

Cool thanks

yeah, quite a boring controller that one.

@@mrmattandmrchay Very difficult to find faults. There should be an LCD display in it

Cool. Yeah i was there two days to visit a site.

👍👍 in delft there are a lot of old lifts. Really weird models from kone

This is a 2/1 rope system. The ROD things are the start of the ropes >>> to lift car, around a wheel >>> back to motor room >>> around the drive sheave (motor) >>> Down to counterweight >>> around another wheel >>> Back to motor room. That's why the lift moves at only half the speed that the drive sheave is moving.

Barney Barnett no

Many thanks! Now corrected :)

So zo dat is toeval

Wauw

Easy... European customers including some international ones - how do you think I filmed the Saudi Arabia video? :) Very handy for filming lifts!

But is it Belgium or The Netherlands? I guess Belgium based on the building style.

@@highvoltage1523 yes. Might be Antwerp. All the buildings close to Schiphol (Netherlands) are very modern.

Foxy flywheel

Paw Patrol NSFW thanks

Paw Patrol NSFW what exactly is the function of it in the lift?

Foxy to slow down the lift

Foxy because there is a large heavy mass it slows down the spin of the lift

Uhm... remind me? ;)

@@mrmattandmrchay I commented on most of your videos, and I sent you a video of a hydrologic elevator

Michal M your first

@@DriftingSofa yay!!!
