1. Structure of MRL Elevator
1.1Features of MRL Elevator
Usually, elevator components like traction machine, controller and speed governor etc are placed in exclusive machine
room. To save building total height and lower the construction cost, MRL elevator places the traction machine and speed
governor in the inner side of the overhead and the controller next to overhead hall door. Thus, no machine room needed

another row of guide rail brackets (refer to Fig 4-4) when there is no specific requirements in the drawing. For some
places, like when encountering guide rail connecting plate, the spacing can be a little large, but not more than 2500mm.
Fig. 4-4 Guide Rail Bracket
Notes: The space bewteen guide rail bracket shall refer to the requirements on layout drawing,
2000mm shown on above pic is only for reference.
4.6.5 Each guide rail should at least have two guide rail brackets.
4.7 Guide Rail Brackets Installation
Choose the best methods from following installation solutions according to each elevator’s design and actual conditions.
4.7.1 Hoistway with Pre-embedded Iron
4.7.1.1 Clean the concrete on the pre-embedded iron surface. If the pre-embedded iron is into the shaft wall, then winkle
from the concrete.
4.7.1.2 Check the positions of the pre-embedded iron according to the guide rail brackets installation plumb line. If the
position deviates and can’t meet installation requirements, the iron plate can be re-welded on the pre-embedded iron. The
thickness of the iron plate should be more than 16mm and length less than 300mm. When length is over 300mm, the ends
should be fastened to the shaft wall with expandable bolts whose diameter is more than φ16. The overlap joint length of
the added iron plate and original pre-embedded iron should be not less than 50mm and requires three sides full welding.
4.7.1.3 Guide rail installation:
a) The benchmark line setting out from the model should be double checked before guide rail installation (distance
between benchmark line to guide rail bracket surface should be 1~3mm; distance between two lines should be
80~100mm, among which one is benchmark line subject to guide rail center and the other one is auxiliary line for guide
rail installation).
b) Measure the actual height of each guide rail bracket to the wall and process according to the serial No.
c) Confirm the guide rail bracket positions and make level and alignment according to the guide rail bracket center line
and auxiliary line. After that, do the welding.
d) The unflatness of the whole guide rail bracket should be mot more than 5mm.
e) In order to guarantee the firm contact of guide rail bracket plane and guide rail, the verticality tolerance of the bracket
end face should be less than 1mm.
f) The guide rail bracket should have firm contact with the pre-embedded iron. When doing welding, inner and outer full
welding should be adopted and the welding height should be not less than 5mm. The weld joints are required to be full
and no slag inclusion or air vent is allowed.
4.7.2 Use expandable bolt to fasten the guide rail brackets: When there is no pre-embedded iron on the concrete hoistway,
it’s better to use expandable bolt to directly fasten the guide rail brackets. The specification of the expandable bolts used
should be in accordance with the layout drawing. If there is no requirements from the supplier, usually the specification
should be not less than φ12mm.
a) When drill the holes for expandable bolts, the position should be accurate and vertical to the wall with proper depth.
Usually it is better that the protection sheath outer end face align with the wall surface after fastened by expandable bolts.
b) If there is a big verticality deviation of the wall, partly trim a little bit to make the contact gap between wall and guide
rail surface not more than 1mm and after that firmly filled up with thin pad.
c) Process the guide rail bracket according to the serial No.
d) When the guide rail brackets are all ready, make level and alignment. Firmly fasten them with expandable bolts.
4.7.3 Use through-wall bolt to fasten the guide rail bracket:
a) If the hoistway structure is of brick wall, it’s better not to use expandable bolt to fasten the guide rail bracket and there
is no pre-embedded iron. Drilling through holes on the shaft wall and fasten the iron plate with through-wall nail is
recommended. When using through-wall nail, pads should be used to reinforce the strength at shaft wall outer side which
is closing to the wall. After that, use through-wall bolt to fasten the guide rail brackets.
b) Processing and guide rail installation methods and requirements are totally the same as the situation when with
pre-embedded angle steel.
4.8 Quality Issues that need Extra Attention
4.8.1 If the guide rail brackets fastened by expandable bolts loosen, adjust the guide rail brackets positions upward or
downward and re-fasten with expandable bolts again.
4.8.2 The welding between welded guide rail bracket and guide rail bottom clamping must be done with just one time
trail. No patch welding is allowed after guide rail adjustment in order to guarantee the adjustment accuracy.
4.8.3 After adjustment of combination guide rail bracket, the joints must be welded to reinforce its strength.
4.8.4 The guide rail clip, fastening screw used to fasten the guide rail must mate with the guide rail. Welding or directly
use screw (without guide rail clip) to fasten guide rail to the guide rail bracket is not allowed.
4.8.5 When adjusting the guide rail, in order to guarantee the adjustment accuracy, measuring point should be set at guide
rail bracket and the middle of two adjacent guide rail brackets.

9.5.2.3 If the buffer for car (or counterweight) is made up of two units, the two buffers should be on the same horizontal
plane, with deviation not more than 2mm.
9.5.2.4 Oil buffer piston rod verticality measuring: the different between measured a and b should be not more than
1mm and measuring should be done two direction forming 90°right angle.
9.5.2.5 Add metal shim between buffer bottom and buffer base to adjust the buffer. The area of added shim should be
not less than the 1/2 area of the buffer bottom. Fasten the foundation bolts of the buffer base with spring washer or
double nut after adjustment. The turnbuckle should show 3~5 threads.
9.5.2.6 The travel distance of car down beam and counterweight bottom striking plate to buffer S1 & S2 should meet
requirements in image inspection.
9.6 Speed Governor Rope and Tension Device Installation

9.6.2 Get the tension sheave according to the size in installation drawing. Set out plumb line A from car rod down rope
hitch center to its corresponding tension sheave rope groove center a (the verticality from speed governor to car rod
upper rope hitch center has already been done during speed governor installation), meanwhile set out plumb line B from
speed governor rope groove center to tension sheave rope groove center in the other side b; adjust the tension sheave
position until deviation between plumb line A and center a within 5mm, deviation between plumb line B and center b
within 15mm. After that, the position of tension sheave can be confirmed.
9.6.3 Directly hang the speed governor rope onto the speed governor sheave and tension sheave and do the measuring.
Cut off the rope according to actual needed length and make rope ends. The method to make rope ends is same as the
methods for main steel rope ends. Fasten the rope ends to car rod plate.
9.7 Traction Rope Compensation Device Installation (if equipped)
9.7.1 Installation Instructions of Elevator Balance Compensation Chain
a) Solve the compensation chain spiral or winding problems caused during batching when doing installation, in case the
outer coated rubber or plastic layer might crack or strip under this twisting situation.
a) Solutions of spiral or winding phenomenon: After hanging the compensation chain to the car bottom, slow drive the
car to top and measure the needed length of compensation chain and cut off; batch the compensation chain on the
ground and lift it more than 1m above the ground and hang there in static for 24 hours. After the winding problem is
gone, hang the compensation chain to the other end. After several days’ running of the elevator, check if there is still
spiral or winding problem; if yes, repeat the process again until problem completely solved.
c) The guiding device center line should be in the same plumb line as hanging point, and avoid the compensation chain
be on the same plumb line as hanging point; in case accidental fault might caused by the enhanced friction between
compensation chain and guiding device.
d) The minimum distance h between guiding device installation point and compensation chain bending bottom should
be 1m, in case the bending radius might be undersized and the chain might break because of the resistance to motion
caused.
