In order to check traction of the elevator, the load-test is positively necessary on the inspection of elevator in Korea. So actual loads are used in the elevator car for the load-test. However, some of advanced countries in Europe, for example Germany, are using the alternative method with no load test instead of traditional load-test. Commonly hydraulic elevator, compared to passenger elevator is mainly used for loading heavy weights. It requires a great deal of labor to carry out load-test. The reason is why we developed a new inspection skill for the load-test of hydraulic elevator without actual loads. The results of studies show that the new method of the load-test can be replace the traditional load-test.

In a traditional hydraulic elevator, elevator car is descended by down control valve, and the oil hydraulic energy must be lost during the descending stroke. In this paper, hybrid type energy saving unit for a hydraulic elevator is researched to save the hydraulic energy which is lost during the descending stroke. The energy is stored as converted electrical energy, and the saved energy is reused as the auxiliary power for the ascending stroke of elevator car or the main power of other parts. The results show that the output characteristics are stable and good and the research is successful and useful to reuse the saved energy during the descending stroke of elevator car.

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller is designed for speed control of a hydraulic inverter elevator. Mathematical modeling of an elevator actuated with hydraulic system is presented and the friction characteristics of a cylinder is examined, which may cause the abrupt increase of the acceleration in the zero-crossing speed region. Simulation results show that the proposed fuzzy logic speed controller yields a better control performance than conventional PID controller.

In a traditional hydraulic elevator, elevator car is descended by down control valve, and the oil hydraulic energy must be lost during the descending stroke. In this paper, the performance characteristics of the hybrid type energy saving unit, is used to save the hydraulic energy which is lost during the descending stroke, for a hydraulic elevator are studied. The energy can be reused as the auxiliary power. The results show that the performance characteristics, such as the pressure, flow rate, output current and voltage, efficiency, and the energy recovery rate of the unit are stable and good as the energy recovery rate is 54%, and the energy saving unit is useful to reuse the saved energy during the descending stroke of elevator car. Also, it was confirmed that the energy saving unit can be deployed on a commercial scale.

In this study an elevator plant model is made with an electro-hydraulic servo valve and a single rod cylinder. A PID controller, a velocity feedback PID controller and a MRAC controller ate designed. Experimental apparatus including an elevator plant model and these controllers are constructed. In case of experiment, external load which is made with a hydraulic cylinder and a pressure control valve burdens varying load to the elevator plant model being driven. With experiment, the control performances of three proposed control methods are compared.

In this paper, a design methodology of fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydraulic elevator controlled by inverter is presented. The proposed scheme uses a fuzzy sliding mode controller(FSMC), which is designed based on the similarity between the fuzzy logic control(FLC) and the sliding mode control(SMC). The proposed method has advantages that the stability and the robustness of the FLC are proved and ensured by the sliding mode control law, and the computation burden could be reduced greatly. The validity and the effectiveness of the proposed control method have been shown through the real world industrial application results.

To prove the vibration and speed error problems caused by the nonlinear friction characteristics and load variation of the hydraulic system, a PID speed controller and a load compensation controller for the hydraulic inverter-fed elevator are proposed. The load compensation controller is composed by the PI controller and the speed controller is composed by the PID controller. The P,I and D gains of the control parameters are obtained by the frequency response of system transfer function. The Effectiveness of the proposed controller are shown by experimental results, which the proposed controller yields robustness with load variations and stable and good speed and acceleration responses with less oscillations.

In this study, hydraulic systems of the rope brake system of an elevator are modeled to evaluate design parameters that consider friction characteristics such as cylinder pressure, piston displacement, and flow rate. Hydraulic systems of the rope brake system are analyzed using the commercial program AMESim. Analysis modeling data are compared with data obtained from experiments, and the analysis modeling results are found to be reliable. The analysis results will be used to design hydraulic systems of the rope brake system of elevators.

A PID controller integrated with a velocity feedback is designed for fluid power elevator model system in this study. In this case, for outside disturbance load a hydraulic cylinder and a pressure control valve are used. In this method overshoot is reduced and settling time becomes also shorter than the values achieved from the PID controller system only In conclusion a PID controller integrated with a velocity feedback is considered a suitable control method for fluid power elevator system.

A gear pump is a type of pump that displaces a volume of fluid by physical or mechanical action, or positive displacement pump. Power is applied to one of the gears and transmitted to a second driven gear via meshing teeth. This paper describes the hydraulic gear pump for an elevator. In gear pump, since geometrically special forms of gear tooth, 'Pulsations' is always caused in the delivery pressure and quantity. In other words, it is found that the number of delivery pressure pulsation per each revolution is always equal to that of the gear-teeth of the gear, which is coincident with the pulsation of the ideal delivery quantity. Some experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the developed pump.
