How to fill out traction sheave brake test

How to fill out traction sheave brake test:

1. Start by gathering all the necessary equipment and tools needed for the test, such as a torque wrench, brake shoe thickness gauge, and a pen and paper for recording results.
2. Before beginning the test, ensure that the elevator is stopped at the bottom landing and the power is turned off.
3. Begin the test by checking the brake shoe thickness. Use the brake shoe thickness gauge to measure the thickness of each brake shoe. Record the measurements and compare them to the manufacturer's recommended minimum thickness. If any brake shoes are below the recommended thickness, they should be replaced.
4. Move on to inspecting the sheave for any signs of wear or damage. Look for excessive wear, cracks, or any other visible issues. If any problems are detected, the sheave should be repaired or replaced.
5. After inspecting the sheave, move on to testing the brake torque. Insert the torque wrench into the brake torque adjustment bolt and rotate it until it is tight. Note the torque value specified by the manufacturer and ensure that the torque is within the acceptable range. Make any necessary adjustments to the brake torque if it is too high or too low.
6. Once the brake torque is set, perform a static brake test. Apply the brake by manually engaging the brake lever or by turning on the power to the elevator and pressing the emergency stop button. Observe the performance of the brake and listen for any abnormal noises. The brake should engage smoothly and hold the elevator in place without any slippage.
7. Finally, record all the findings and results of the traction sheave brake test in a logbook or maintenance record. Make a note of any issues or repairs that were performed during the test.
