| Dedication to safety 
Schindler 9300 meets or exceeds all the requirements all
the requirements of national and international standards including ASME A17.1, CAN/CSA-B44
and EN 115. In fact, many of Schindler's forward-looking concepts for greater safety have
been adopted by code.
Start-Up checks
All main contractors and safety switches are checked
automatically at every startup. Moreover, the zero position of the key switch is checked
to eliminate the risk of starting the escalator on reconnection of the mains supply after
a power failure.
Active Safety Brake on Drive Shaft
The active safety brake prevents runaway situations by
engaging immediately upon activation of the broken drive chain contact on the speed
monitor. Additionally, it locks the step brake firmly after each stops.
Direction-Sensitive Brake
Direction-Sensitive Brake
In case of an emergency stop, a much smaller braking force
is required for upward travelling than for downward traveling escalators.
Schindler is the only manufacturer to provide all its
escalators with a direction-sensitive brake that reduces its braking torque to one third
when ascending.This provides a more gradual deceleration.
Handrail Guiding System
Same proven pressure belt driven system to ensure proper
propulsion.
Step Guide Pad
Step Guide Pad
A low-friction guide pad on each side of every step keeps
the gap between step and skirting at a minimum constant width. This, combined with other
Schindler safety enhancements, minimizes the risk of entrapment, and also protects the
skirting form scratching. This also reduces wear of the rollers since they have no lateral
guiding function.
Step Monitor
Step Monitor
A proximity sensor checks the presence of every step.
Step Axle
Continuous step axles absorb the bending stresses of the
step band that arises during operation, and prevent these bending stresses from being
transferred to the step chain.
Patented Combplate Switch
Increased safety can be achieved by a switch which detects
both horizontal and vertical movement of the combplate. |
