ESTIMATED LIFE CYCLE OF THE MAIN

COMPONENTS UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS

Estimation based on compliance with the following points

1. tkE maintenance with own protocols.

2. Traffic medium or medium/high. Clean environment. No outdoor.
3. Valid for Free lubrication chains (Ecological) 10 years life. (Outdoor) chain, 5 years life.
4. These data maybe have an oscillation of +/- 20% of lifetime depending on:

• Traffic intensity (also influences if there is frequency inverter)

• Rise
• Environment (Dirt, outdoor, seepage…)

We should take into account that these materials are deemed necessary to replace a 20-year life due
to operating wear, but there are other components needed to replace according to the wrong use as
can be combs, steps, rollers, handrails ... (list of parts in general)

1. MECHANICAL MATERIALS

Replacement of rubber motor coupling and

7 check the motor status 5 years
(It is included 4 in the unit life)*

Gear box reparation (washers, sprockets,

8 Gasket…) 10 years
(It is included 1 in the unit life)*

Gearbox oil replacement (It is included 4 in the

9 5 years
unit life)

Reparation of handrail traction items (It is

10 5 years
included 4 in the unit life)

Unit cleaning and necessary adjustment of the

11 different components 5 years
(It is included 4 in the unit life)

Replacement handrail guides curved (It is

12 10 years
included 1 in the unit life)

13 Step rollers 10 years

Note: Free lubrication chains (Ecological) 10 years. (Outdoor) chain.5 years.

* Points to take into account. We consider that in approximately 25% of the units, could be needed its realization.

Concerning to the Electrical components we have not any estimation regarding the life cycle.
There is not any study about it, due to it is impossible to predict which will be the durability of the
different items (All of them compound of electrical and electronic parts).
