Escalator Design & Applications

This document provides an overview of escalators, including their history, design, components, safety features, and uses. It begins with introductions that define escalators as moving staircases powered by motors that keep steps horizontal. The history section notes that Nathan Ames invented the first escalator in 1859, and the first commercial version was developed by Seeberger and Otis Elevator Company in 1889. Escalators are used widely in public places like shopping malls, transit stations, and factories to efficiently move people between floors.

INTRODUCTION
An Escalator is a moving staircase
The device consists of a motor-driven
Escalators allowing the step treads to remain
horizontal.

INTRODUCTION(cont.)
Escalators are used around the world to move
pedestrian traffic
Escalators can be placed in the same physical
space as one might install a staircase

DESIGN

factors affecting escalator design are


physical requirements
Location
traffic patterns
safety considerations
aesthetic preferences

Components of
Escalators

The Manufacturing Process


The first stage of escalator construction is to establish the
design
Prior to installation, the landing areas must be prepared to
connect to the escalator.
Make final connections for the power source and check to
ensure all tracks and chains are properly aligned.
Verify all motorized elements are functioning properly, that
the belts and chains

Uses and Application


Department stores/shopping
Public transportation
Factories and other industrial
production environments
Military use

CONCLUSION
In modern automated world without
escalators,it is difficult for us
Several innovations are developed by different
companies such as carrying wheels
