Finite element analysis of brake systems used in practise for improvement of elevators

Elevators are the systems that we use in our everyday life and provide a convenient way of reaching a different location from a certain location. These vehicles, which we use every day, have positive features that provide comfort, as well as negative features that include security risk. First of all, when we ranking these risks in order, the elevator cabin falls to bottom or crash the ceiling in elevator shaft. Braking system have been developed with the aim of preventing such accidents, which could be caused by risks. The braking systems used in elevator suspensions in our country are revised to comply with certain standards. İn this study, the braking systems used for the improvement of the elevators were aimed to be questioned from the safety point of view. Brake systems mounted with conventional mounting style and systems with new mounting style are compared for safety reasons.
