GUMYOUNG GENERAL Rope Gripper
1. Rope Gripper
Since high-rise buildings and elevators became part of our living place, various kinds of elevator
accidents have increasingly endangered human lives, and securing safety is highlighted as an
unavoidable issue faced in our modern civilization.
Among these different kinds of elevator accidents, elevator cars leaving a floor with the doors
opened or overspeeding suddenly in the up or down direction have been directly threatening our
lives and safety. In order to prevent such accidents in advance, it was regulated in Canada, first
in the world, to install auxiliary safety braking devices to elevators, and then it was also legislated
and effective in the USA, EU, China, Korea, etc. Now, it is an international trend to proceed with
legislation and intensify regulations according to the increasing significance of the safety braking
devices.
Since 1996 when the acknowledgement of the prior protection against such danger was not
completely matured, GumYoung General concluded an exclusive sales agreement and an
technical collaboration agreement with Hollister-Whitney in the USA holding the highest
technologies specialized in the field of elevator parts and equipment over 100 years. We were
dedicated to the introduction of "Rope Gripper" to the Korean market, and completed the
localization of "Rope Gripper". Now, we are manufacturing auxiliary safety braking devices for
elevators with the safety and reliability of the quality secured by obtaining both CSA certificate
and CE certificate uniquely in Korea.
Our "Rope Gripper" has greatly contributed to stopping elevators to protect passengers against
accidents in advance by gripping the suspension ropes when the "Rope Gripper" gets an
abnormal signal from the elevator controller caused by electrical or mechanical malfunction. Our
"Rope Gripper" is the most suitable safety braking device if an ascending or descending
elevator overspeeds faster than the rated speed or the elevator leaves a floor with doors opened.
One of excellent features of the "Rope Gripper" is to use springs along a stationary cam to
obtain a mechanical advantage and apply adequate pressure to the elevator suspension ropes
without any damages to elevator structures, traction machines, sheaves and others. Also, the
"Rope Gripper" is able to prevent accidents caused due to a slipping trouble between the
traction sheave and ropes. This cam action causes a changing mechanical advantage and is
designed to compensate for lining wear and lengthening springs, providing a constant force on
the elevator ropes, even with the spring extended to less than half their original compressed

value.
The "Rope Gripper" keeps main ropes in a proper space between two linings with grooves
wore in and can be installed and operated easily. Further, even in the unlikely event of excessive
lining use, the "Rope Gripper" stops elevators immediately and safely clamping the ropes
tightly. The "Rope Gripper" activates mechanically when an emergency condition exists, and
resets the system hydraulically when the abnormal condition is removed.
Our "Rope Gripper" has been installed in high-rise and state-of-the art buildings as well, and
completely prevents overspeeding and running with doors opened, which complies with elevator
inspection standards, and also has received much recognition of a stable operation feature for a
long time without additional maintenance after installation.
1.1 Operation
1.1.1 Open Position (Normal Status)
When the Rope Gripper is in its open position, the springs are fully compressed and
prevented from extending by an electric solenoid trigger mechanism. When the electric solenoid
is de-energized, the springs will extend forcing the movable shoe against the ropes.
1.1.2 Gripping
When an emergency condition exists (overspeed or the elevator outside of door zone with doors
opened), the contact on the elevator controller will disconnect the electric solenoid releasing the
trigger mechanism, to grip the suspension rope and stop the elevator.
As the springs extend, the oil is forced from a cylinder into a tank allowing a smooth shock
absorbing action.
The contact on the Rope Gripper will open so that power to the elevator motor will be
disconnected and/or remain disconnected until the Rope Gripper is once again reset.
GumYoung (2)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
1.1.3 Resetting
To reset the Rope Gripper after it has been set (gripping ropes), a contact on the elevator
controller will close indicating all signals are normal. The pump motor will be energized along
with the electric trigger solenoid. Then, a hydraulic dump valve is closed and oil will be pumped
into the cylinder causing the springs to compress and move down the cam. The plunger will
retract into the cylinder compressing the springs. When the Rope Gripper reaches the open
ready position, a microswitch will disconnect the pump motor and the electric solenoid will keep
the brake in the open position. A contact on the Rope Gripper will indicate that the elevator
can run.
< Gripper Unit > < Pumping Unit >
REMARK
In the unlikely event of excessive use, the shoe lining may wear so that the shaft extends to near
the end of the cam, however, a microswitch is provided which will prevent resetting of the Rope
Gripper and will not allow the elevator to run until the Rope Gripper is re-adjusted.
As the linings wear, the rotating shaft will go higher up the cam although the springs become
weaker in this condition, the mechanical advantage becomes greater allowing a constant
pressure of the linings on the ropes.

1.2 Safety
An elevator Rope GripperTM is a safety braking device invented by Hollister-Whitney Elevator

Corp. in U.S.A. and patented in over 10 countries including U.S.A. and Korea. Hollister-Whitney
has been specialized in elevator products and equipment for over 100 years, which is one of
leading companies in the elevator industry.
Hollister-Whitney obtained safety certification from CSA International in Canada where it was
obliged to install elevator auxiliary safety braking devices by law, first in the world. Furthermore,
the safety and reliability of the product quality was secured once again by acquiring EC Type-
Examination Certificate, i.e., CE Certificate.
Since Hollister-Whitney started the sale of Rope Gripper TM in 1990, the perfect function and
high quality has been proved continuously. EU, Canada, and Hong Kong already regulated the
installation of elevator auxiliary safety braking devices by law, and it is also under such regulation
in Korea since 2000.
Rope GripperTM completely meets the requirements of the elevator inspection standards of
Korea, and basically prevents accidents so that elevators can run safely and comfortably.
1.3 Superiority
Rope GripperTM is a device to protect passengers from danger and injuries due to an elevators
overspeed caused by any failure of a brake, an elevator brake controlling system, or parts
controlling the car speed in the up and down directions. If an ascending or descending elevator
overspeeds suddenly or when the car leaves a floor with the doors opened due to a trouble with
the traction sheave or slipped ropes, Rope GripperTM stops the elevator safely clamping main
ropes, which is an epochal invention preventing elevator accidents that was unavoidable before.
The Rope GripperTM :
z Can be installed and tested easily in any elevator system whether to be already set up or not.
z Stops the car smoothly but with much force, and hardly causes damage to main ropes and
other elevator parts.
z Activates by force of extending springs, and resets hydraulically not to allow interference of
operation.
GumYoung (4)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
z Stops the car safely during a power failure, and resets the system automatically placing the
car on normal operation when power is restored.
z Detects an emergency condition and applies within 1,200mm if the car leaves a floor with
doors opened.
z Activates only when an emergency condition exists, and linings rarely wear, which doesnt
require frequent replacement of linings.
z Indicates the time for replacement of linings because of a sensor perceiving linings wear.
z Patented in U.S.A., Russia, Finland, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Japan, Norway, Poland, and
Korea.
z Continuously proved the perfect function and high quality in various countries including
U.S.A., EU, and Hong Kong for over 10 years since 1992.
1.4 Reliability
We made a technical collaboration agreement with Hollister-Whitney in 2002, and acquired the
highly advanced knowledge from Hollister-Whitney related to the overall production including
materials, designing, manufacturing, assembling, and testing through technical training for 72
days.
During the localization process of Rope Gripper TM, we first analyzed the drawings and made
the best efforts to secure high qualities of the parts so that we could pursue the security of the
product quality. Also, we tried to obtain the reliability of Rope GripperTM with a sense of duty of
providing customers with products that could affect human life, and closely examined the
reliability through aging test of completed products.
After tower tests in Hollister-Whitney, performed twice in 2002 and 2003, met the requirements
of the standards, we applied for safety certification to CSA International in Canada having the
supreme authority in elevator safety certification in the world, and finally obtained the CSA
certificate of compliance.
We also obtained EC type-examination certificate, i.e., CE certificate in Apr of 2004, and Rope
GripperTM became the only Korean product holding both of certificates at the same time. In
addition, we set up a quality management system to keep continuously stabilized qualities for
customers safety, and we acquired ISO 9001:2000 certificate in Jul of 2004.

2.4 Control Circuits
2.4.1 Rope Gripper OPERATION
Gripper trip switch contacts (GTS & GTSX) on the elevator controller must open with the
ascending car overspeeded or with doors opened outside of the door zone.(Manual reset is
shown in the below suggested circuits).
When Rope Gripper is in the loaded position, not in the manual opening mode, these
contacts are closed, indicating that the elevator can run.
GumYoung (13)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
OPEN READY POSITION (keeping the Rope Gripper opened)
Rope Gripper shoes are open (not grabbing the ropes).
Power to Rope Gripper is constantly maintained. (Gripper trip switch contacts (GTS &
GTSX) on the elevator controller are closed).
The electric trigger solenoid is magnetized by power supply and holds the Rope Gripper in
the loaded position.
The micro switch contact on the Rope Gripper is closed transmitting the signal indicating
that the elevator can run to the elevator controller.
ACTIVATION
Power to Rope Gripper is disconnected when the contacts (GTS & GTSX) on the elevator
control open.
The electric trigger solenoid is de-energized activating the Rope Gripper.
The micro switch contact on Rope Gripper opens signaling the elevator controller to
disconnect power to the motor and machine brake circuits.
Rope Gripper shoes close, stopping the car by grabbing the ropes.
AUTOMATIC RELOADING
Contacts (GTS & GTSX) on the elevator controller close indicating all conditions are normal
and the Rope Gripper returns from the activated position to the loaded position.
Power is restored and oil is pumped into the cylinder by the hydraulic pump causing the
springs to compress and the shaft to move down the cam to be in the loaded position.
When reaching the loaded position, a contact opens disconnecting power to the hydraulic
pump.
The electric solenoid is energized keeping the Rope Gripper when in the loaded position.
A micro switch closes allowing the elevator to run.
MANUAL OPENING
During a power failure the Rope Gripper will activate and when power is restored it will
automatically reload and put the elevator back into service. If the car is to be moved during a
power outage, a manual pump is provided to open the Rope Gripper.
First, a hydraulic valve must be manually closed and then using the hand pump will move the
Rope Gripper towards the loaded position releasing the ropes. If the hydraulic valve is left in
the manually closed position, when power is restored a micro switch contact will prevent the
elevator from running.

HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
2.4.2 Rope Gripper SUGGESTED CONTROLLER CIRCUITS (PATENTED)
The above wiring diagram shows suggested controller circuits to activate the Rope Gripper
and stop the car. The indicated controls are designed to conform to the requirements in
CAN/CSA B-44, Clause 3.12.9 (c) and (d).
Grounding these controller circuits, the Rope Gripper power supply with protective devices,
and one line of contacts wired to other lines, prevents the function of the protective devices from
being ineffective. All relays listed below are covered by this protection. Relays GTS and GTSX
are wired in parallel with the contacts connected to the Rope Gripper power supply.
The failure of either relay will cause the Rope Gripper to activate.
(1) DLT-Door Lock Relay Timed Contact
Closes when the door lock contact closes. The DLT opens having a slight time interval after the
door lock opens (approx. 1/4 sec.). If the door lock is clipped momentarily, it prevents the
Rope Gripper from activating.
For conformance with CAN/CSA B-44, Clause 3.12.9 (c) and (d), if this relay fails to de-
energize, the elevator must be prevented from restarting with doors open.
(2) DZ-Door Zone Relay Contact
Closes when the elevator is in the door zone where the doors can open. The DZ opens when the
car leaves the door zone. For conformance with CAN/CSA B-44, Clause 3.12.9 (c) and (d), this
relay should be monitored so that if it fails to operate in the intended manner, the elevator must
be prevented from restarting.
(3) PF-Power Relay Contact
Opens approximately 30 seconds after power is provided, and allow GTS to keep self holding.
This relay is de-energized during inspection operation and energizes approximately 30 seconds
after the inspection mode is changed for the automatic operation. This will allow an automatic
reset to be possible avoiding a nuisance manual reset when a mechanic comes out of the car
after placing the station, on top of the car, in the automatic operation.
GumYoung (15)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
(4) GTS & GTSX - Rope Gripper Trip Switch & Auxiliary Relays
Both relays are energized for normal operation and de-energized to activate Rope Gripper
(gripping the ropes). When an overspeed occurs, or when the car leaves the floor(door zone)
with the doors open, the Rope Gripper operates. At this time, GTS should reset the relay by
a push button or manually to prevent the car from running until a mechanic inspects and resets
the relay.
NOTE : The CAN/CSA B-44 code requires activation of the Rope Gripper when the
ascending car overspeeds. For further safety, the circuits shown above were designed to operate
the Rope Gripper overspeeding in both the up and down directions.
2.5 Installation and Test Manual

HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
2.5.2 INSTALLATION OF Rope Gripper
(1) Be sure security set screws are touching and holding the rotating shaft in the loaded position
as shown.
(2) Remove both connecting arms by removing the four snap rings.
(3) Remove movable shoe assembly.
(4) Mount model #620 or #622 Rope Gripper to mounting channels with M12 bolts through
the mounting angles as shown on drawing #620-DIM or #622-DIM. Mount model #624, #625,
#626, or #626-SPL Rope Gripper to mounting channels with M16 bolts through the mounting
angles as shown on drawing #624-DIM, #625-DIM, #626-DIM, or #626-SPL-DIM.
(5) Align the Rope Gripper so that the stationary shoe lining barely touches the ropes from
top to bottom and from side to side. Slight misalignment may cause uneven and excessive lining
wear.
(6) Securely fasten "Rope GripperTM" angle bolts (5 bolts per side). Make sure they are very tight.
(7) Double check alignment making sure the ropes tough the stationary shoe lining evenly.
(8) Replace movable shoe assembly.
(9) Replace connecting arms with chamfered corners facing inside and secure the four snap
rings.
(10) Find best location for Pumping Unit. Unit can face forward or backward and can be placed
on either side of Rope Gripper.
CAUTION : SHIPPING CAP ON THE PUMP UNIT MUST BE REMOVED AND DIPSTICK INSTALLED,
OTHERWISE PUMING UNIT MAY BE DAMAGED. (THE DIPSTICK IS SHIPPED STRAPPED TO
INSIDE OF PUMPING UNIT.)
(11) Male hydraulic quickconnect will fit through knockout hole on side of Pumping Unit. While
pulling up ring around female fitting push male fitting up until ring can push down securing the
GumYoung (17)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
fittings together.
(12) Wiring on Rope Gripper can be changed to opposite side by removing greenfield and
pulling wire into Rope Gripper and out opposite side.
(13) Wiring from Rope Gripper to Pump Unit is colorcoded:

White: RG2, Black: RG3, Red: RG4, Orange: RG5, Blue: RG6, Green: Ground
(14) Connect terminals RG1, RG2, RG5, and RG7 to elevator control. Check control diagram for
proper connection.
(15) After wiring and hydraulic connections are complete, with valve stem in automatic position
turn on Pump Unit test switch. Trigger solenoid on back of Rope Gripper should energize
and push down trigger. If it doesn't, check control wiring. When it energizes, loosen security set
screws. If arms move backward, use hand pump or jump terminal 3 to 4 to temporarily operate
electric pump. Security set screws must be completely removed or damage may result when
activating Rope Gripper. Set screws can be stored in bottom of Pump Unit.
(16) Unit is now ready for test and lining wear in.

2.5.3 TESTS AND CHECKS AFTER INSTALLATION
(1) Test
1) With the Pump Unit valve stem turned to the automatic position and test switch on, the Rope
Gripper should be in the ready position not clamping the ropes.
2) Turn off the test switch. This activates the Rope Gripper and clamps the ropes.
Be sure, when clamping the ropes, that contacts on the Rope Gripper stop or prevent power
from being applied to the motor and machine brake.
3) Turn the valve stem in the Pumping Unit to the manual operation. The manual microswitch
contact should open preventing the elevator from running. Turn the valve stem back to automatic
and the manual contact should close allowing the elevator to run.
GumYoung (19)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
(2) Testing All Circuits
The following three tests should be made while the car is running in slow speed.
Test both the up and down directions.
During each test the Rope Gripper should
A. Grab the ropes

B. Stop the Car
C. Open the control safety circuits disconnecting power to the motor and machine brake
1) Turn off the pump test switch and observe A, B, and C above.
2) With the car outside of the door zone, open the door or open the door lock circuit and
observe A, B, and C above (SEE NOTE).
3) Manually open the governor overspeed switch and observe A, B, and C (SEE NOTE).
NOTE : The control circuits may require a manual reset before the Rope Gripper reloads.
The Rope Gripper is now ready for operation.
(3) Fluid Level
With the Rope Gripper in the loaded position, the level should be approximately 1" up the
dipstick.
(4) Gripper Lubrication
Apply a thin layer of a general purpose grease lubricant to the cam surface, the trigger and latch
GumYoung (20)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
mechanism, and the four movable shoe guides.
(5) Brake Ready Micro switch and Trigger Mechanism
When reaching the loaded position the brake ready microswitch contact will open turning off the
pump. At this point the trigger should be engaged as shown.
With the solenoid energized and the trigger resting on the latch, the solenoid plunger should
slightly touch the trigger. Lift the trigger to check for play. If there is play, loosen the lock nut
and turn the allen head screw until play is just removed.
2.5.4 LINING WEAR IN (* It must be done.)
(1) Reason for Lining Wear-in:
Unless linings wear properly deep by force, there can be little contact surface between the
linings and ropes, and the ropes may not be prevented from sliding during the operation of the
Rope Gripper.
For the best setting between linings and ropes considering the diameter and pitch of the
GumYoung (21)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
elevator's main rope, lining wear in should be done according to the following simple procedure
after the installation of " Rope Gripper "
(2) Procedure of Lining Wear-in:
1) Run the car in the slow speed from top to the bottom.
2) At this time, wipe down the ropes removing dirt or excess oil and grease.
3) Jump terminals RG5 to RG6.
4) Run the car in slow speed from top to bottom with the test switch "OFF".
5) The Rope Gripper will clamp the ropes

with a light pressure and the linings will begin
to wear. As the linings wear, the rotating shaft
will move backwards in its slot and will turn the
corner and begin to move up the cam as
shown.
6) Once the rotating shaft has completely

turned the corner of the cam, it will move
upward quite quickly. Then, release the
clamped ropes by rapidly turning the test
switch from OFF to On.
7) When the upper sides of the connecting arms reach the lining wear line drawn on both sides
of the Rope Gripper, stop wearing linings. Then, open the main brake with the ropes
clamped by the Rope Gripper. If the ropes are prevented from sliding, the lining wear-in is
completed.
GumYoung (22)
HOLLISTER-WHITNEY
2.5.5 LINING REPLACEMENT (ADJUSTING AND MAINTENANCE)
As the lining wears, the rotating shaft will move towards the end of the cam. Near the end, the
excessive wear microswitch contact will open and the Rope Gripper will not automatically
reload.
Lining Replacement
Reload the Rope Gripper using manual operation.

Once in the loaded position the security set screws should be installed and tightened so they
touch the rotating shaft.
For new linings follow the procedure under [2. Installation of Rope Gripper]
The existing lining can be used by removing the bolts that hold the blocks to the movable
shoe, placing lining wear shim spacers under the blocks and reinstalling and tightening the bolts.
With the movable shoe connected and the valve stem in the automatic position, turn "ON" the
Pumping Unit and carefully remove the security set screws. Use hand pump if necessary so that
rotating shaft does not move backward when removing the security set screws. The Rope
Gripper is now ready for operation with the rotating shaft in position near the bottom of the
cam.
When needed, be sure new linings are installed as soon as possible.

2.5.6 Safety Test Procedure
- For compliance with Canadian CAN/CSA-B44-94, B44-96, B44-2000 safety code for
elevators
(1) Power Interruption Test
Run the car at a slow speed and turn off the toggle switch on the side of the Pumping Unit, and
this will activate the Rope GripperTM disconnecting power to it and causing it to clamp the main
ropes and stop the car. When the Rope GripperTM is activated, the ELEVATOR CAN RUN
microswitch will open and signal the controls to interrupt power to the driving motor and machine
brake. Then, the elevator C/P using the contact can notice the operating condition of the Rope
GripperTM.
(2) Ascending Car Overspeed Test
With an empty car, overspeed the car in the up direction while keeping the machine brake open,
and the governor overspeed switch will activate the Rope GripperTM. The Rope GripperTM will
stop the car before the counterweight strikes the buffer or at least reduce the car speed to the
speed for which the buffer is designed. If it is impractical to overspeed the car, run the car up
empty at a high speed with the machine brake held open and manually trip the governor
overspeed switch. The Rope GripperTM will cause the car to slow down and stop. The governor
can then be tested to make sure the governor switch opens at the correct overspeed setting.
* Caution : When overspeeding, please check if the governor overspeed switch activates
properly.

(a) a loss of electrical power to the unintended movement detection and control means shall
cause the immediate activation of the emergency brake as required in 2.19.2.2(b);
(b) the occurrence of a single ground, or the failure of any mechanically operated switch that
does not meet the requirements of 2.26.4.3, any single magnetically operated switch, con-
tactor, or relay, or any single solid state device, or software system failure, shall not render the
detection means inoperative.
(2) The failure of any single mechanically operated switch that does not meet the requirements
of 2.26.4.3, shall not render the detection means inoperative.
(3) When a fault specified in 2.19.2.2(a)(1)(b) or 2.19.2.2(a)(2) is detected, the car shall stop
at or before the next landing for which a demand was registered, and shall not be permitted to
restart.
(4) Once actuated by unintended movement, the detection means shall remain actuated until
manually reset, and the car shall not start or run unless the detection means is reset.
(b) upon detection of unintended car movement, stop and hold the car, with any load up to
rated load [see also 2.16.8(h)], by applying an emergency brake conforming to 2.19.3, with
GumYoung (51)

(f) be designed so that the factors of safety based on the maximum stresses developed in the
parts subject to load during the operation of the emergency brake shall comply with the
following:
(1) Where an emergency brake is activated only when protecting against either an ascending
car overspeed condition or unintended car movement with the car and hoistway doors open,
the minimum factors of safety, when applied during the retardation phase of emergency
braking, shall be not less than those specified in 2.17.12.1.
(2) Where an emergency brake is activated during normal stops of the elevator, the minimum
factors of safety, when applied during the retardation phase of emergency braking, shall be not
less than those specified in 2.24.3.1 and 2.24.3.2.
(3) Where an emergency brake acts on the suspension or compensation rope system
(a) the factor of safety with respect to the breaking strength of the ropes shall not be less than
5 at any time during the retardation phase; and
(b) it shall be designed to prevent appreciable damage or deformation to the ropes resulting
from its activation.
(g) be arranged to be tested in accordance with the requirements specified in 8.10.2.
2.19.3.3 Marking Plate Requirements. The emergency brake shall be provided with a marking
plate indicating the range of total masses (car with attachments and its load) for which it is
permitted to be used, the range of speeds at which it is set to operate, and the criteria such as
rail lubrication requirements that are critical to the performance.
2.19.4 Emergency Brake Supports

All components and structural members, including their fastenings, subjected to forces due to
the application of the emergency brake shall be designed to withstand the maximum forces
developed during the retardation phase of the emergency braking so that the resulting stresses
shall not exceed those permitted for the applicable type of equipment as follows:

9.10 Ascending car overspeed protection means

A traction drive lift shall be provided with ascending car overspeed protection means
conforming to the following:
9.10.1 The means, comprising speed monitoring and speed reducing elements, shall detect
uncontrolled movement of the ascending car a minimum 115 % of the rated speed, and
maximum as defined in 9.9.3, and shall cause the a to top, or at least reduce its speed to that
for which the counterweight buffer is designed.
9.10.2 The means shall be capable of performing as required in 9.10.1 without assistance
from any lift component that, during normal operation, controls the speed or retardation, or
stops the car, unless there is builtin redundancy. A mechanical linkage to the car, whether or
not such linkage is used for any other purpose, may be used to assist in this performance.
9.10.3 The means shall not allow a retardation of the empty car in excess of 1gn during the
stopping phase.
9.10.4 The means shall act:

a) to the car; or
b) to the counterweight; or
c) on the rope system (suspension or compensating);or
d) on the traction sheave (e. g. on the sheave directly or on the same shaft in the immediate
vicinity of the sheave).
9.10.5 The means shall operate an electric safety device in conformity with 14.1.2 if it is
engaged.
9.10.6 When the means has been activated its release shall require the intervention of a
