Projeto de elevador de cargas industrial

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a geared traction driven freight elevator of 1000kg capacity to be installed inside an industrial building for cargo movement between the ground floor and a mezzanine according to client’s requirements based on a real descriptive memorandum from a request. A brief exposition about lifting and transporting machines, strength of materials, electric motors and related design codes. Cabin, counter-weight, steel ropes, sheaves, pulleys, traction machine, guide rails and safety devices were designed following the NBR14712:2013 and its related codes. Together with the elevator design an independent steel structure was also designed to support the whole machine’s weight and enclose the elevator’s pit. The project’s cost was also estimated for both. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to verify the cabin, counter-weight and independent structure and validate the designs.
