• An elevator is a permanent lifting vehicle
  assisting two or more landing levels. It
  comprises a car for transportation of goods or
  passengers, running at least partly between rigid
  guide rails, vertical or biased to the vertical
  by less than 15 degrees.
• Elevator parts India is highly in demand, and
  manufacturers fabricate these different elevator
  parts with keeping all guidelines in mind.
• All elevators are not designed in the same way.
  Elevator function and features may differ from
  one elevator to another
• Below, we will discuss the basic parts for a
  conventional elevator included in all traction
  elevator types.

Basic elevator components

• The conventional elevators include the following
  essential components
• Car
• Machine system
• Hoistway
• Control system
• Safety system
• Elevator car
• The elevator car is the conveyance that moves
  between the different elevators and stops
  carrying goods and passengers it is typically a
  massive steel structure encircling a cage of wood
  and metal panels.
• Elevator car types
• Conventional elevator cars can be categorized as
  per the number of locations and their entrances
  which are as follows
• Open through cabin
• Normal cabin
• Diagonal cabin

Elevator Car Components

• Elevator parts India manufacturers fabricate
  elevator car that comprises these following
  parts
• Car sling (a metal substructure joined to the
  means of suspension)
• The elevator cabin and
• Mechanical accessories that include guide shoes,
  car door and door operator, and door protective
  device

• 1. Car sling
• In the elevator, the car sling is the load
  carrier, and its isolating vibrations function
  due to running.
• Car sling types
• The suspension (1-1) and (2-1) are the two main
  types of car sling. However, they may come with
  or without the breaking system.
• Car sling primary components
• Upper transom
• The upper transom is the respite element of the
  car. It can be either (1-1) or (2-1) type by
  using 360mm polyamide pulleys. It is also
  fabricated to support roller guides or sliding
  shoes. Braking system catch clamps are also
  installed in the upper transom.
• Lower transom
• The lower transom is the car flooring carrier by
  way of the precisely assembled pressure springs
  installed in the more insufficient isolation
  unconventionally. Safety gear catch clamps are
  also installed in the lower transom, and a
  shearing linkage system performs their impelling
  action.
• Side frame
• The convertible height side frame is connected
  together and secured to both the lower and upper
  transom.

• 2. The elevator cabinet
• Ceiling, walls, and floors shall completely cover
  elevator cabinets the only admissible opening is
  the emergency trap door, car door, and
  ventilation apertures.
• Car floor
• Car floor possess adequate mechanical strength to
  retain forces which will be exercised during
  safety gear operation, regular operation, and the
  act of the car to its buffers
• Floor size is the exact size of the car in width
  and depth. The floor extension determines side
  portal depth, door opening, and location. The
  floor will be adjourned and protected by PVC
  covering or granite or marble stone, and it can
  also be personalized according to the client's
  requirements.
• Car ceiling
• The purpose of car ceiling fabrication is to
  support two individuals at the time of
  maintenance operation without permanent
  distortion. Car ceiling is also prepared to
  support the balustrade, emergency trap door, and
  blower fan.
• Front panels
• The front panel construction determines door
  opening location and height. Mainly there are two
  front panels types, upper and side panels.
• Car operating panel (COP)
• A car operating panel is a panel installed in the
  car comprising the car operating controls like
  door open and close, call register buttons, alarm
  emergency stop, and other vital buttons or
  switches necessary for operation.

• Handrail
• The handrail is of two types, the flat type
  handrail and the cylindrical handrail. The
  purpose of the handrail within the elevator car
  is to offer a support element for the passengers.
  In most cases, an elevator car is offered by a
  handrail at one, two sides, or on all sides of
  the camp.
• Anyhow one side of the car consists of a handrail
  installed to use the elevators for passengers,
  including disabled persons. Every handrail has
  its finishing style like painted in chosen color
  as per the client's needs or stainless steel
  styles.
• False ceiling
• The primary lighting source in the elevator car
  is indeed a false ceiling multiple designs for
  elevator lighting are available.
• However, the most common lighting elements used
  in elevator lighting are spotlights and
  fluorescent lighting. It is a combination of two
  types and can also be used as well.
• Emergency trap door assembly
• Emergency trap door can be conveniently unbolted
  from inside the car by employing a triangular key
  from the outside of the car, by turning the link
  without a key.
• Electrical safety switches joined to the side
  frame of the trap door provoke the elevator to
  stop if the locking ended to be effective
  restoring the elevator to service will only be
  feasible after willingly relocking.
• 600x400 mm is the emergency trap door size to
  enable the rescue and departure of passengers.

• A car roof will be offered along with a
  balustrade or railing where the free distance
  between the shaft wall and the car ceiling will
  increase to 0.3m.
