RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Kvasnová, Petra A1 Novák, Daniel A1 Novák, Viktor T1 Chemical Analysis and Mechanical Properties of Selected Safety Components of Lifts JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2016 VO 16 IS 1 SP 149 OP 154 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2016/a/1213-2489/MT/16/1/149 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201601-0031.php AB This paper deals with materials of selected safety components of lifts and it describes their mechanical and chemical testing. It particularly concerns with chemical analysis of two basic types of pulleys from gray and ductile cast iron, and subsequently with the measurement of the hardness and the strength of these materials. The aim of the research was to prove if these types of pulleys, widely used as safety components in the lift industry, meet the current law requirements. Finally, the results of the research are briefly discussed as well as their application in the university education.
