New Sliding Clip Push Through Force and Seismic Applications

摘要

To satisfy the growing demand for improvement in ride comfort of elevators the sliding clip is replacing the traditional one in high rise applications. MONTEFERRO has developed a fixing system as an alternative to the traditional clips, also applicable in seismic areas. In this system, the guides to be fixed are clamped between a round base and forged clips. Thanks to rubber elements interposed between the screw and shank nut it is possible to regulate the push through force. The study has been developed through a FEM analysis simulating extreme operating conditions and utilizing the stress and deformation results.
