The elevator is a piece of equipment widely used in industry, mining and other fields for transporting materials vertically or inclined. However, in actual operation, abnormal noise and excessive vibration sometimes occur, which not only affects the normal operation of the equipment, but may also cause damage to the equipment. The following are the main reasons that cause abnormal noise and vibration when the elevator is running:
1. Mechanical reasons
1. Bearing wear: The bearings of a hoist that has been used for a long time may wear out, resulting in unstable operation, abnormal noise and vibration.
2. Loose fasteners: Loose or falling fasteners inside the equipment will also cause abnormal noise and vibration when the equipment is running.
3. Chain or belt problems: Loose, worn or damaged chains or belts may cause abnormal noise and vibration.
2. Material reasons
1. Material blockage: When the material transported by the elevator is blocked, the equipment will generate abnormal pressure, resulting in abnormal noise and vibration.
2. Uneven materials: Changes in material humidity, particle size, etc. may cause uneven distribution of materials during transportation, causing equipment vibration.
3. Reasons for operation and maintenance
1. Improper operation: Improper operation by the operator during operation, such as overspeeding, overloading, etc., may cause abnormal noise and vibration of the equipment.
2. Insufficient lubrication: Long-term operation of the equipment without timely lubrication will lead to increased friction, abnormal noise and vibration.
3. Insufficient regular inspection and maintenance: Insufficient regular inspection and maintenance of equipment may lead to wear and damage of internal parts of the equipment, causing abnormal noise and vibration.
4. Other reasons
1. Motor problems: Motor damage or unstable operation may also cause abnormal noise and vibration when the elevator is running.
2. Installation problems: Improper installation of equipment, such as weak foundation, poor equipment alignment, etc., may also cause abnormal noise and vibration when the equipment is running.
To sum up, there are many reasons for abnormal noise and vibration when the elevator is running. To ensure the normal operation of the equipment, it is recommended to perform regular maintenance and inspections on the equipment to detect and solve problems in a timely manner. At the same time, operators should operate the equipment strictly in accordance with operating procedures to avoid equipment failure caused by improper operation.
