Hydraulic elevator system

What is hydraulic elevator?

A hydraulic elevator is an elevator driven by a hydraulic system. It uses a pump station to push hydraulic oil into the hydraulic cylinder, which then moves the elevator car up and down. Hydraulic elevators are currently the most popular and most popular home and villa elevators on the market.

Hydraulic elevators are usually used as home elevators for 2-4 floors, and we recommend that the maximum lifting height should not exceed 12 meters. The working principle of hydraulic elevators is to achieve lifting and lowering operation through a hydraulic system. Hydraulic elevators include hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic pump stations and control systems. The hydraulic pump draws hydraulic oil from the oil tank and presses it into the hydraulic cylinder, and the piston in the hydraulic cylinder moves accordingly, thereby pushing the elevator up and down. The hydraulic valve controls the flow direction of the hydraulic oil, allowing the elevator to rise or fall when needed. The control system monitors and adjusts the operation of the elevator to ensure its safety and stability. The entire system is powered by hydraulic pressure, allowing the elevator to run smoothly.

What are the characteristics and advantages of hydraulic elevators?

Compared with other types of elevators, hydraulic elevators have the following characteristics and advantages:

Simple structure: The structure of hydraulic elevators is relatively simple, consisting of hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic pumps and control systems, and is relatively easy to maintain and repair.

Easy installation: Hydraulic elevators do not require deep pits, and for outdoor shafts, concrete or steel structure shafts can be built by themselves, so the installation is relatively simple and suitable for places with low building heights.

Smooth operation: Hydraulic elevators run smoothly, the lifting speed is relatively stable, and the ride is comfortable.

Energy saving and environmental protection: Hydraulic elevators only consume a small amount of hydraulic oil during operation, which can save energy compared to traditional elevators.

Low cost: The manufacturing cost of hydraulic elevators is relatively low, and the maintenance cost is also relatively low, which is suitable for some places with limited budgets.

In general, hydraulic elevators have the advantages of simple structure, easy installation, smooth operation, energy saving and environmental protection, and low cost, which are suitable for some low-rise buildings or places that need to be economical.

What are the shortcomings of hydraulic elevators and how to solve them?

Disadvantages:

1. The common hydraulic elevators on the market use ordinary steel structures, which are very prone to rust and corrosion after a long time of use, which greatly affects the daily use of the elevator.

2. Most manufacturers of hydraulic elevators use guide wheels for rail operation, and the guide wheels will be damaged after a long time of use, which also greatly affects the use of hydraulic elevators.

3. There may be noise when the hydraulic elevator rises.

4. During the installation process, the hydraulic elevator may have wiring errors and cannot match the distribution box.

Solution:

1. The overall structure of our elevator uses a hot-dip galvanized structure, which is much more corrosion-resistant and rust-proof than ordinary steel.

2. Our hydraulic elevator uses guide shoes, which do not require any lubricant to assist in movement. There are two oil pots on our guide rails to assist.

3. Our hydraulic elevator uses the latest ultra-quiet pump station with almost no noise.

4. Our distribution box is independently developed by us. We connect all the wires in the distribution box in advance and clearly mark each wire. After the customer receives the equipment, he only needs to install it according to our markings.

What are the advantages of Huichuang Lift's hydraulic elevators compared to other factories?

1. Hot galvanized structure, which is more anti rust than painting.

2. Governor and tensionor, same as passenger elevator,  which can make the cabin stop immediately if the speed is over 0.4m/s.
3. 1:3 design, it means when the cylinder move 1m, the cabin will move 3m, travel speed can reach 0.3m/s, which is faster than 1:2.
4. We have our own team to develop and manufacture control box, this is the heart of lift, ours no need to connect too many wires, only some plug to fill in, very simple and clean.

5. Kone U61 leveling device, which is more smoothly than mechanic limit switch.
6. Nylon guide wheel, which is more durable and silence than steel wheel. Wheels covered by steel plates, apart from damage.

7. Wire rope, which is more stable and silence than chain.
8. Oil return tube, as a backup tube for hydraulic oil if the main tube breaks, and it can make the air out of the oil cylinder.

9. T78 passenger elevator rail, more durable than T75.
10. Our shaft adopt 50*50*2.2mm aluminum alloy material, and multiple color options.
11. All structure bolts connected, no need welding.
12. Multiple COP&LOP options, can customize your logo or picture.

13. Standard cabin fan, bottom safety sensor, handrail,light curtain.

How to choose an elevator that is more suitable for us?

Please contact our technicians. Our technicians will customize the elevator for you based on the actual situation of your site: the number of floors, floor height, installation space, whether shafts are needed, and other customized requirements, and customize the drawings for your elevator for your reference.
