CALCULATION OF THE NUMBER OF THE ROPES

1. INTRODUCTION

The objective of this project is to calculate the number of traction ropes that are required for the motor Home Elevator. This motor is designed using the machinery directive U.N.E.-58-120 regulation (cranes and lifting devices), instead of the EN-81 regulation (Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts).

2. CALCULATIONS

CLASSIFICATION TYPE

To make the rope calculation, first of all we have to classify the machine and see at which group belongs to. These classification types are defined in the FEM 9.511 regulation Mechanisms Classification. To find the group, first we have to define the following factors. a- Duty Load. b- Average operating time per working day.

a- Duty load The duty load is evaluated in base on 4 types of service conditions, with the following characteristics: A. Light

Maximum Load: occasionally Moderate Load: regularly Light Load: Small

B. Medium Maximum Load: frequently Moderate Load: Regularly Light Load: Medium

C. Heavy Maximum Load: Frequently Medium Load: Regularly Light Load: Big D. Very heavy Maximum Load: Regularly Light Load: Very big Taking into account the service conditions of the home elevator it is considered as a Heavy duty machine.

b- Average operating time per working day At it is exposed in the FEM 9.511 regulation, the average working time (t) is calculated as follows:

t=

2 * H * N *T V * 60

Where: H= Average lifting height N= Number of cycles per hour (a cycle is a movement of up and down travel) T= working (h) time V= elevation speed (m/min)

In the home elevator case is considered an installation with the data: H= 12m N= 16hours/24cycles=0,67 T=16 h V= 0.15m/s = 9m/min

So, the average operating time (t) is = 0.47

CLASSIFICATION TYPE

We know that the Duty Load is Heavy and the average operating time =0.47, so, from the following table we deduce the classification type of the Home Elevator

Average operating time (hours per day) Duty Load LIGTH MEDIUM HEAVY VERY HEAVY M3 1Bm M4 1Am M3 1Bm M4 1Am M5 2m 0.5 1 2 M3 1Bm M4 1Am M5 2m M6 3m 4 M4 1Am M5 2m M6 3m M7 4m 8 M5 2m M6 3m M7 4m 16 M6 3m M7 4m

As per the table, the machine is in the group M4 1Am

ROPE TENSION

The rope tension is going to be calculated for an installation with these specifications: Load (Q): 375 kg Car Weight (P): 450kg Roping: 2:1 Counterweight Balance: 50%

(Tmax) = (P+Q)/2=412,5 kg. Applying a safety factor of 1.25, 5058,28 N.

515,63 kg or

MINIMUM DIAMETER ROPE CALCULATION

The calculation of the rope diameter is based on the UNE 58-120-91 regulation and it says: d = C S Where: d: minimum rope diameter (mm)

mm
C: rope selection factor [ N ] S: Maximum tension of the rope [N] As we know per the FEM 9.511 regulation, the Home Elevator is classified in the M4 1Am Group and from the table 1 of the UNE 58-120-91 regulation we know that the value of C for an elevation mechanism M.4 type is = 0,095

mm N

Knowing the value of C and once we calculate the maximum tension (Tmax=14347,2 N), replacing the values in the equation we obtain that the minimum diameter rope is:

d = 0,095 5.058,28
dmin= 6,76 mm smin= 35,85 mm2 drope= 4 mm srope= 12,57 mm2

In the case that we use 4mm2 ropes, the number of ropes that are needed:

n=

35,85 12,57

n = 2,85

MINIMUM BREAKING LOAD CALCULATION

The minimum breaking load calculation it is done with the following calculation as it is exposed in the UNE 58-120-91 regulation:

F0 = S Z p
Where: S: Minimum tension of the rope [N] Zp: Minimum ratio of practical use. To calculate the maximum tension in this section, the maximum tension calculated before is going to be divided by the number of ropes, so:

S=

5.058,28 = 1.686,09 N = 1,69kN 3

The value of Zp it is specified in the Table 1 of the UNE 58-120-91 regulation, that says that for a determined elevating mechanism of the group M4 1 Am, the Zp is 4.0. So, resolving the following equation we obtain that the minimum breaking load it has to be bigger than:

F0 = 1,69 4,0
F0 6,74kN The real minimum braking load of 4 mm rope cable is: 12,6kN

MINIMUM PULLEY DIAMETER CALCULATION

To calculate the size of the pulley we use the Table 2 of the UNE58-120-91/1. As per the table the pulley diameter must be 18 times bigger than the cable diameter.

4X18=72mm<100mm

We are using 100mm pulley.
