Technical bulletin No.
02/2021
Description of activities to carry out
1) Overspeed governor:
a) Put the unit in a safety working condition (maintenance mode)
b) Carry out ordinary checks on the device, of service manager’s pertinance, in particular on
pulleys paying attention to their wear.
Example: Proof of appropriate condition is the protrusion of the steel cable with respect
to pulley diameter (see picture1); on the other hand a wear index is the thickness of the
pulley side shoulders (see picture 2 and picture 3).
In case of wear the unit must be stopped and you will have to contact your After Sale Dept.
Manager to let you have the necessary replacement parts.
Considering that the pulley wear can have an impact on the correct working conditions of
the unit, while waiting for instructions by Vimec, stop the unit, as a precautionary
measure. As regards alluminium pulleys which are no more installed sicne 2013, please
refer also to Technical Bulletin No. 04/2013 about checks of material wear.

Further advice about pulley race wear, to be carried out by service engineer, and that we are
explaining in advance in relation to the new version of our new manual that we are going to issue
soon
Look carefully at the race surface in the contact area with the rope, it must be perfectly smooth without
any mark left by the rope
Check of race wear on traction pulley
Smooth surface without tracks

and/or marks : pulley OK
In case you notice the rope track, replace the device.

Rope marks: please check ridging left
by the wires of the rope strands.
Replace the part
To rub on the race surface the bit of a small screwdriver could be helpful:
• If the surface is regular or smooth the pulley can be considered Ok

• If the surface shows hollows or you can touch the ridging lefts by the wires of the rope
strands, the device must be replaced.
Check of race wear on traction pulley
Contact surface is polished and

without marks : pulley is Ok
If you see the rope track replace the device
Rope track on the race bottom:

replace the part
c) The lower traction pulley is fixed by a grub screw (see photo 4), pull it out with a 2,5 mm
Allen key (see photo 5) and put in the new grub screw supplied to you. DO NOT USE any
grub screw different by the one supplied by Vimec.

PHOTO 5
Should you find any difficulty in pulling the grub screw out or should you not be able do it
that means that it could be damaged. If so the unit must be stopped and you will have to
contact your Vimec Aftersale Dept. engineer for despatch and replacement of the
necessary parts. As it is known and taking into consideration wear of this part could have
an impact on the correct working condition of the unit, while waiting for instructions by
Vimec, stop the unit as a precautionary measure
After replacing the grub screw, use a permanent marker to draw carefully a visual check-
line (see photo 6) to be able to check eventual changing of position in the course of time:

d) Service engineer has to check overspeed governor steel rope integrity and that its path is
correct (see drawings below)
The rope must be :
1) Without any broken wire
2) Without any fold
3) Without oxidation
In case the rope condition does not satisfy one of the above-mentioned points replace the rope
The rope must be tightened as per instructions in our use and maintenance manual of the unit.
In case it is not stretched properly, tighten it as per our use and maintenance manual of the unit.
e) Check that the plastic shim under the spring of the overspeed governor, that was put to make
installation easier, has been removed (see Photo 7)
Photo 7
f) As per service engineer’s competence, check the correct installation of the whole
overspeed governor and of the safety gear as specified in the unit manual
g) As per service engineer’s competence, carry out the check of the overspeed governor and
safety gear activation as specified in the unit manual.
For all wear effects our After-Sales Dept will submit you an offer for the parts to be
replaced.
Wear checks as per service engineer’s competence, of safety gear
• Service engineer has to check the roller of safety gear: that has to show a
properly sharped and pointed knurling.
In case by touching it you find knurling has “flattened”, replace the couple of devices.
KO
OK
• As per service engineer’s competence check the safety gear setting; that must be
in compliance with what prescribed by the unit manual.
For all wear effects our After-Sales Dept will submit you an offer for the parts to be
replaced
2) Reduction gear motor oil

As per service engineer’s competence, check the oil level in the reduction gear and top it
up as per enclosed instructions (instructions about oil top up in reduction gear E10). We
are repeating these instructions as written in our Technical Bullettin No. 02/2014 and in
our manuals
3) Check Brake’s Gap setting

a) Correct setting of the brake (minimum gap 0.30 mm; maximum gap 0.40 mm)
Picture A
b) Carry out the tests in three different positions as specified below
Picture B
If the 0,45 mm thickness gauge goes through, the air gap must be set (SEE INSTRUCTIONS)
If the 0,45 mm thickness gauge does not go through, the air gap must not be set
Air gap setting
- Unloose nut 2 keeping screw 1 fixed

- Set the air gap by intervening on screw 1,
0,3 mm and 0,4 mm air gap GOES
THROUGH (we remind you that 0,45 mm
thickness gauge DOES NOT GO THROUGH
(maximum allowed gap)
- At the end of setting, tighten nuts 2 by
keeping screw 1 fixed
- Setting must be carried out UNIFORMLY
on all 3 screws
CHECK, AS PER SERVICE ENGINEER’S COMPENTENCE, SAFETY GEAR ACTIVATION
Before carrying out the overspeed governor and safety gear check you have to verify that all screws of
overspeed and safety gear system are properly tightened.
The test of the system must be carried out with no load (empty cabin).
After activation of mechanical safety gear, safety gear roller tracks must be smooth to the touch and
must look like the ones in the picture below. There must be NO hollow on the rail, there must be NO
sliding mark (slipping).
Roller trace on the rail must be well shaped and short.
Marks must be visible in the same way on both rails.
OVERSPEED GOVERNOR AND PFB SAFETY GEAR – Stop between 150 and 300 mm
DYNATECH OVERSPEED GOVERNOR AND SAFETY GEAR – Stop between 300 and 600 mm
(in case you find different ranges please set activation mechanism of the safety gear as per our
manual. For other cases please contact Vimec After Sales Dept. Manager of your area )
Hereunder see two pictures as an example

Correct mark, well shaped and short
INCORRECT mark, knurling not well marked and with hollow on the rail.
In this case go on with safety gear setting and/or replacement.
Conclusions
Important: write down all checks you carried out as per our above-mentioned instructions on your
working report and specify also the unit working hours. Working report will have to be countersigned
by the customer, if possible.
Write down on your working report the engineer’s working hours (tests described can be carried out
by a single engineer and the average working time we foresee is 2 hours. For additional charges please
ask your After Sales Dept. Manager for authorization in advance.
Send your working report per e-mail to the address UPGE10@VIMEC.BIZ
After approval send invoice of your working hours on site, the invoice MUST compulsorily mention
part No. UPGE10 + unit order and serial No.
We kindly ask you to carry them out with the outmost celerity
