Abstract
Abstract This paper is concerned with the performance of the governor during the period of free fall of the car upon a failure of the hoisting ropes. In two examples, one in connection with a medium-speed and the other with a slow-speed elevator, the performance of the governor is determined together with the inertia forces necessary for a rational design. For purposes of comparison, the same governor is used in both examples, adapted to the different car speeds by suitable gearing to the driving sheave.
