Spanish term or phrase: Equipo impulsor
Hi everyone,

This is part of a lift. For now, I'm thinking "hydraulic power unit".

Anyone who's an expert on lifts/a mechanical engineer?

Thanks!

For hydraulic lifts the space in which the power unit is situated and the pit shall be designed in such a way that it is impervious, so that all the fluid contained in the machinery placed in these areas will be retained if it leaks out or escapes.

What is an elevator power unit and what are its key elements?
An elevator power unit is an integral component found on all types of hydraulic elevators. A power unit serves two critical purposes: it pushes the piston (elevator jack) up and also enables oil to return to the elevator’s tank as a car travels down. The typical elevator power unit module consists of the following five components:

Tank: Elevator tanks typically feature 12-gauge steel construction and a means for checking the oil level
Pump: Most pumps are either belted, and foot mounted or submersible and connected directly to the motor
Motor: The motor within a power unit could be either AC or DC-powered, and most feature a built-in thermal detector
Control Valve: The control valve operates electrically and has an opening and closing mechanism that lifts and lowers the elevator car
Silencer: Also known as a hydraulic muffler, the silencer is included to suppress noise

Page 115

The pump and pump motor shall be mounted on one robust bedplate or within the power unit assembly if it is suitably rigid. The motor pump and bearing(s) shall be so mounted and assembled that proper alignment of these parts is maintained under all normal operating conditions. The power unit shall be generously rated and shall operate with minimum noise and vibration. The unit shall be mounted on vibration insulators above the machine room floor. A silencer unit shall be fitted in the hydraulic system to minimise the transmission of pulsations from the pump to the car and the elimination of airborne noise. An oil filter shall be fitted on the pump inlet. A stopcock shall be provided to enable the filter to be cleaned or changed without significant loss of oil. The pump motor shall be of the single speed squirrel cage or slip ring type and it shall run with minimum noise and vibration. It shall be capable of a continuous duty cycle of at least 45 motor starts per hour.
