Study on Measuring and Adjustment of Elevator Balance Coefficient

Abstract

Balance coefficient is one of the most important properties of traction type elevator. The value of balance coefficient not only affects the comfort when passengers take the elevator, but also determines the service life of the elevator, which makes it of great significance to set a proper value of balance coefficient when the elevator is assembled. This article briefly describes the definition of balance coefficient and introduces some widely used approaches of measuring balance coefficient. It discusses the basic principle of measuring approaches and analyses the pros and cons of each approach. Through measuring the balance coefficient, provide the recommending measures to hidden danger. Suggestions on daily maintenance is offered to the elevator maintenance unity. Fast approaches of measuring balance coefficient should be considered as the main development directions in the future.
