Note
It is not possible to define one single measure for the distance (x) between the governor
lever (in normal position) and the upper governor lever stop, which would apply to any
combination of safety gear type and tripping mechanism.
In order to guarantee that the safety gear engages securely and independently, the upper
governor lever stop (see table above) has to be adjusted so that a minimum gap (y)
between the governor lever and the governor lever stop is maintained after the brake part
(for example: wedge) has made contact with the guide rail.

Checks
Caution
• Within the elevator safety system it is to ensure that the overspeed governor will be
tested before the safety gears.
• If the elevator system contains safety gears on the car and the counterweight side, make
sure that the counterweight safety gears will be tested first.
4.1 Regulations
Danger
It is forbidden to perform the safety gear test of the car safety gear with no load in the car.
Note
• The braking mark distances for progressive safety gears given for the counterweight
(with no test load) correspond to the braking mark distances of the previous Schindler
test on car side (with test load 100 % of rated load).
• The braking mark distances are based on a load balancing factor KG of car and
counterweight of 50 %. Consider that for a smaller KG (for example: 40 %) the braking
mark distances are longer and for a larger KG (for example: 60 %) the braking marks
distances are shorter.
4.1.1 EN 81-1
EN 81-1: 1998 According to EN 81-1, the goal of the engagement test before putting the elevator into
operation is to check the correct installation, correct setting and the reliability of the
complete assembly, comprising car, safety gear, guide rail and guide rail fastening.
The engagement test must be performed as follows:
Braking Marks
A = RF series braking marks
B = GED series braking marks (SLR) / similar braking
marks result from Thyssen safety gears
C = G series braking marks (SLS)
Note
For intermediate values of the rated speed VKN, use linear interpolation to calculate braking
marks SLR or SLS.
Note
The braking mark distances for GED Series are based on a load balancing factor KG of car
and counterweight of 40 ... 50 %.

Note
The LLV values of the two safety gears within a pair may be different.
General No Step
1 Measure the effective LLV value on both safety gear blocks.
2 To make any necessary adjustment in the braking distances, turn the hex securing
tube to increase or decrease the braking distance.
3 Remove sealing wire and seal (3) and loosen the fastening screw of the hex
securing tube (2).
4 Move the hex securing tube (2) aside.
Correction of
No Reason Correction
Normal Force
1 SLS too long Decrease the pretensioned disc spring length LLV by turning
the hex securing tube (2) and repeat the test.
Rule of thumb: One turn (= 2 mm) means a correction of
approximately 5 % to 10 % of the braking mark distance SLS,
but recommended correction is ± 3 mm.
2 SLS still too long Replace the safety gear pair with a new one, adjusted to the
next higher GKU range. Correct the GKU value on the type
plates.
3 SLS too short Increase the pretensioned disc spring length LLV by turning
the hex securing tube (2) and repeat the test.
Rule of thumb: One turn (= 2 mm) means a correction of
approximately 5 % to 10 % of the braking mark distance SLS,

next lower GKU range. Correct the GKU value on the type
