Hydraulic elevators are elevators that use hydraulic power to move vertically between floors. In this type of elevator, a hydraulic cylinder (jack) and a hydraulic pump are used to move the elevator cabin.
In the hydraulic lift, the hydraulic cylinder or the telescopic jack is connected to the cabin and contains a special oil inside. When the hydraulic pump pumps oil under pressure into the cylinder, the pressure created causes the telescopic jack to rise vertically. As the hydraulic cylinder or the telescopic jack goes up, the elevator cabin is moved and moved up.To go down, a switch automatically cuts off the oil pumping inside the cylinder, which causes the telescopic jack and elevator cabin to go down.
Hydraulic elevators are usually used in low-rise and residential buildings. One of the main advantages of a hydraulic lift is its quiet and smooth operation.
In case of power failure, it can be directed to the nearest floor so that the passengers can get off. Also, the hydraulic lift can continue to work using the power of an emergency power source. However, the installation and maintenance of a hydraulic lift is usually a bit more complicated than conventional lifts.There are different types of hydraulic sensors and different samples, which makes their use change. In any place, one of the types of hydraulic elevators is used.
Double hydraulic lift
Two-person hydraulic elevators are suitable for houses and duplex buildings and have very small dimensions. Double elevators require very little space and have high security.
Restaurant hydraulic elevator
This type of elevators is used for restaurants that have more than two floors, and by means of them, food and goods are moved between floors.
Shop hydraulic lift
One of the most practical types of elevators are hydraulic shop elevators, which are used to move people.Hydraulic wheelchair lift
These types of elevators are suitable for people who cannot move and use wheelchairs. It is not possible to use a wheelchair in any place, that's why many of these people use the wheelchair elevator to move between floors.
Store hydraulic lift
Since the stores have a large area, you can use the hydraulic store elevator in these areas.
Simple hydraulic lift
These types of elevators are among the most popular elevators due to their low price and are used in many places.
Mobile hydraulic lift
Mobile elevators are also very popular, but they have a higher price than other models.The design of the hydraulic elevator may be different depending on the needs of the building and specific conditions. However, in general, hydraulic lift design includes the following elements:
Hydraulic cylinder system: This system includes a hydraulic cylinder that has a special oil inside. The cylinder is installed at its connection point with the elevator cabin and moves vertically during the operation of the elevator.
Hydraulic pump: The hydraulic pump is used to pump the oil inside the cylinder and create the necessary pressure to move the cylinder. The hydraulic pump usually works by using an electric motor that is supplied with electrical energy.Control panel: The elevator control panel is responsible for controlling the movement and speed of the elevator. This page is usually located in the same panel of the elevator cabin and is used by people to select the desired floor.
Safety system: Hydraulic elevators must have a proper safety system. This system includes anti-fall safety, safety system for doors, presence sensors, fire extinguishing system and other safety features that are used to prevent accidents and people's safety.
Elevator cabin: The elevator cabin is a part that carries people or cargo. The design of the elevator cabin should be such that it allows people to reach their destination easily and safely.Various equipments: These equipments are usually used in all types of elevators and may include things such as electric motor, iron pulling, thermomotor system, etc.
In the design of the hydraulic elevator, the necessary safety standards must be observed in order to protect the health and safety of the people who use the elevator.Technical specifications of hydraulic elevators
Capacity: 5000 lbs max
Travel height: up to 80 feet
Speed: 150 feet per minute
Drive: Direct Cast / 1:2 RopedNormal type: This type of hydraulic elevator uses underground cylinders and is widely used for low-rise buildings of 2 to 5 floors (sometimes up to 8 floors). The speed of the hydraulic elevator is about one meter per second.
Holeless type: This type of hydraulic elevator was developed in the 1970s and uses a cylinder on the ground. This change of use has caused a change in the price and creating better environmental performance for two to four story buildings.
Roped type: In this model of elevators, the jack or piston is connected to the cabin through the towing wire.
Hydraulic elevators use an oil pressure pump, motor and industrial valve to drive oil into the cylinder and piston, as a result of which the elevator chamber moves.
