OPERATING MANUAL 2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

General

The overspeed governor is a safety device with a type examination certificate

and a test certificate AGB 055/1.
The overspeed governor works on the floating principle with a cam curve and
a roller-guided rocker.
It is situated either in the machine room or in the headrooom.
As soon as the factory-adjusted tripping speed is reached the switch
provided for disconnecting the drive is activated and the governor pulley
blocked.
The engagement force for the safety gear and/or braking device is provided
by a continuous cable, a tensioning weight situated in the pit and the rope
traction thus generated by the traction groove.
The safety gear and/or braking device can operate in both directions (except
for special version SA 8/9 with unilaterally acting blocking device)

Note:
• The safety gear of the car, counterweight or balancing weight shall each
be tripped by its own overspeed governor.
• The tensile force in the overspeed governor rope generated by the governor
when tripped shall be at least the greater of the following two values:
a) twice that force necessary to engage the safety gear,
b) at least 300 N
• The overspeed governor shall only be operated if a rope breaking switch
has been provided which disconnects the drive in the case of inadequate
rope tension or rope breaking.

Standard version
- Drive groove ∅ 300 mm
- 40 ° undercut V-groove (case hardened groove flanks)
- Rope diameter 6 - 8 mm
- With safety contact mounting (IP65), which simultaneously activates an
electrical pre-switch-off at vN > 1.0 m/s according to EN81-98
- A weight-loaded rocker up to vN = 0.5 m/s is used
- Above this value a spring-loaded rocker up to vN > 2.5 m/s is used
- With rope guard (only for traction sheave groove ∅ 300 mm, wrap of 180 ° and
vertical rope departure)
-

Note: For information and description of special versions see chapter 8.

OPERATING MANUAL 2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.2 Functional description overspeed governor

Description applies to the standard version illustrated in fig. 1.

Tripping :
The roller fastened on the rocker is moved towards the cam curve by a
spring.
As soon as a given speed is reached (tripping speed) the roller fastened on
the rocker can no longer move along the cam curve and is moved outward
due to the centrifugal force.
The following process is started :
• The bolt (pos.7) is moved outwards and the contact tappet on the safety
contact (pos.9) is activated.
• The pawl on the opposite end of the rocket (pos. 16) engages in a cam
cast on the governor pulley and stops the revolving pulley. The safety gear
rope which runs in the governor pulley groove is stopped and, thus,
operates the levers of the progressive safety gear or braking device.
• The lever (pos.14) on the overspeed governor moves in direction of
rotation until it stops on the support. The movement of the lever causes
the leaf spring (pos. 12) centered in the locking plate to disengage. The
bolt on the rocket is also pushed aside and retained in this position by the
hat-type spring (pos. 8).

Attention ! The lift shall only be restored to service after eliminating the
cause of failure and inspection of the lift by trained personnel.

Reset :
• Unhook pawl hook (pos.16) by moving the governor pulley.
• Lift leaf spring (pos.12) and reset to centre of locking plate (pos.11).
The pulley (pos.6) on the rocker which is moved by the spring rests on the
cam curve (pos.2).
• Withdraw the contact tappet (pos.9) and reset the safety contact to
operating state.

Function of the pawl on the governor

The pawl on the governor works as additional safety device when travelling in
inspection mode or can be used as remote tripping for speeds vN ≤ 1 m.

On switching on the inspection switch the governor pulley will be blocked by

a pawl operated by means of electromagnet.
Blocking is released as soon as the inspection switch (up- down) is operated.

If the car moves against the inspection limit switch when travelling in
inspection mode, the drive will be disconnected by the inspection switch and
the pawl will engage on the overspeed governor at the same time.
A sensor monitoring the pawl prevents that the drive is connected
unintentionally when the pawl is engaged.

Attention: Do not release the brake if inspection mode is activated !

Function of blocking device

The blocking device is designed as electromagnetically operated disc brake.
If the magnet coil is energized the disc brake will block the governor pulley.
The governory pulley is stopped, the safety gear brakes as soon as the car
starts moving and consequently the car can be stopped.
A mounted sensor monitors the position of the magnetic brake and signals
failure in the case of trouble (safety monitoring).

The blocking device can also be used as additional safety device when the
car travels in inspection mode. The brake blocks the governor pulley as
soon as you switch over to inspection mode. On activating the inspection
switch (up / down) the brake will be de-energized and the wheel will no
longer be blocked.

If the car moves against the inspection limit switch when travelling in
inspection mode, the drive is disconnected and the magnetic brake is
activated at the same time.

Attention: do not release the brake if inspection mode is activated !

Note: the clearance between the armature base plate on the wheel and the
electromagnet which ensures correct functioning if the magnet is de-
energized is adjusted and sealed at the factory.
Do not change this adjustment.

Checking the locking blocking device:

1. Switch on inspection switch on car roof.

Consequently the magnet of the disc brake shall attract and block the
governor pulley.

2. Move car in well in inspection mode.

On pressing the inspection button the brake shall release. As soon as the
button is no longer pressed the brake shall close again. If the car
travelling in inspection mode stops the overspeed governor shall not trip.
Reduce the inspection speed if the overspeed governor trips.

3. Travel to terminal landing in inspection mode.

On reaching the selector vane (recognized well point) the car shall stop
the inspection mode switch off and the brake block the governor pulley.

8.3 Final limit switch-off (NOR)

Description:
The final limit switch-off (NOR) is designed as an emergency supply
limit switch for speeds up to vN max 1,6 m/s.
Two selector forks and a control cam are fastened on a shaft located on
the support of the THYSSENKRUPP governor.
After passing the terminal landing a selector fork is operated by
switching springs fastened on the governor rope by means of rope
grips. The selector fork de-energizes the final limit switch via the control
cam on the shaft.
Manually reset the control shaft after you moved the car to normal zone
of movement in electric recall mode by turning the selector forks
downwards.

The NOR is fastened together with the governor on a base plate on the
machine room floor by means of dowels.
Connection of the final limit switch to the terminal box is already pre-
installed on the base plate. Protection class IP54 for standard version of
terminal box and explosion-protected design (Ex) e G5 for EX version.
