Otis Elevator Speed Limiter TAB20602K4: Core Safety Component by Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts
In Otis elevator safety systems, the speed limiter is the “first line of defense” against catastrophic overspeed incidents—it monitors the elevator car’s speed in real time and triggers the safety gear (to clamp the guide rail) if the speed exceeds the safe threshold (e.g., 115% of rated speed). The Otis Elevator Speed Limiter TAB20602K4, exclusively supplied by Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts, is a precision mechanical-electrical safety device engineered for Otis mid-to-high-rise elevators (e.g., Gen2, 3300 Series) with rated speeds of 1.0-2.5 m/s. As a leading provider of elevator spare parts and safety components, Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts guarantees this speed limiter meets Otis’s strict safety standards (EN 81-20, ASME A17.1), delivering reliable overspeed detection, durable performance, and perfect compatibility—making it an indispensable safety asset for maintenance teams, elevator service providers, and building facility managers worldwide.
Product Overview and Key Advantages
The Otis Elevator Speed Limiter TAB20602K4 features a mechanical centrifugal structure combined with an electrical switch assembly. Its core components include a high-strength cast iron housing (resisting impact and corrosion), a precision gear train (ensuring accurate speed transmission), a centrifugal governor (triggering the safety mechanism at overspeed), and two electrical switches (one for pre-overspeed alarm, one for emergency stop). Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts implements rigorous quality control: each TAB20602K4 undergoes 10,000+ speed cycle tests (simulating normal and overspeed conditions) and 2,000+ mechanical wear tests, ensuring it maintains sensitivity and reliability even after years of use.
Key advantages of this speed limiter:
- Precision Speed Detection: Accurately monitors elevator speed with a tolerance of ±0.05 m/s, triggering the safety gear within 0.3 seconds when overspeed occurs—preventing car free fall or excessive impact.
- Dual Safety Protection: Combines mechanical (centrifugal) and electrical (switch) protection: the pre-overspeed switch activates an alarm at 105% of rated speed, while the emergency switch cuts power and triggers safety gear at 115%—providing layered safety.
- Perfect Compatibility: Mounting dimensions (bolt hole spacing: 120mm×80mm) and rope groove specifications (groove diameter: 20mm) align 100% with Otis’s original speed limiter brackets and safety ropes, requiring no modifications to the elevator’s safety system.
- Durable Performance: The cast iron housing has an IP54 dustproof and waterproof rating, while the gear train uses high-carbon steel (45#) with anti-rust coating—suitable for long-term use in elevator machine rooms with varying temperatures (-10°C to 60°C).
Step-by-Step Usage and Replacement Guide
The TAB20602K4 is a safety-critical component—only certified maintenance personnel (trained in Otis safety systems) should perform inspection, operation checks, or replacement.
1. Routine Usage (Inspection and Operation Checks)
To ensure the speed limiter functions properly, conduct monthly inspections (as recommended by Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts and Otis safety guidelines):
- Visual Inspection: Check the cast iron housing for cracks, the rope groove for wear (depth reduction ≤1mm is acceptable), and electrical wires for fraying or loose connections.
- Manual Rotation Test: Power off the elevator, disconnect the speed limiter rope, and rotate the limiter’s handwheel by hand—feel for smooth rotation (no jamming) and listen for abnormal noises (grinding indicates gear wear).
- Speed Switch Test: Use a speed simulator (supplied by Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts) to simulate elevator speeds:
-
- At 105% of rated speed: Confirm the pre-overspeed switch activates (check via the elevator’s control panel alarm).
-
- At 115% of rated speed: Verify the emergency switch triggers (power cuts off, safety gear engages).
- Rope Tension Check: Ensure the safety rope is properly tensioned (deflection ≤5mm when pressed with 50N force)—adjust the tension weight if needed (follow Otis’s rope tension guidelines).
2. Replacement Procedure (When Wear or Failure Occurs)
Pre-Replacement Preparation:
- Safety First: Execute the Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedure: Shut down the elevator’s main power, secure the elevator car at the top floor (to relax the safety rope), and place warning signs in the machine room and elevator lobby.
- Confirm Compatibility: Use Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts’ free online tool (via their official website) to verify the TAB20602K4 matches your elevator’s rated speed and model (e.g., “Otis Gen2 2.0 m/s”).
- Gather Tools: Wrench set (14mm/17mm), torque wrench (20-30 N·m), rope cutter, new safety rope (if replacing, supplied by Nanjing Zhuye), and the new TAB20602K4 speed limiter.
Removal of Old Speed Limiter:
- Disconnect the Rope: Remove the tension weight from the safety rope, then disconnect the rope from the old limiter’s rope groove (mark the rope’s direction to avoid reverse installation).
- Disconnect Electrical Wires: Label the two electrical switches’ wires (e.g., “Pre-overspeed: Red-Black”, “Emergency: Blue-White”) and disconnect them from the elevator’s control system.
- Remove Mounting Bolts: Use the wrench to loosen the 4 mounting bolts (M12) securing the old limiter to the bracket, then lift the old unit out of the machine room (use a lifting hook if the limiter is heavy: ~15kg).
Installation of New TAB20602K4:
- Mount the New Limiter: Align the new TAB20602K4 with the bracket’s bolt holes and secure it with the original bolts—tighten to 25 N·m using the torque wrench (over-tightening may distort the housing).
- Reconnect Electrical Wires: Match the labeled wires to the new limiter’s switches (refer to Nanjing Zhuye’s wiring diagram included with the product) and secure connections with wire nuts (prevent loose contacts).
- Reinstall the Safety Rope: Thread the safety rope into the limiter’s rope groove (follow the marked direction), reconnect the tension weight, and adjust rope tension (deflection ≤5mm as before).
Post-Installation Testing:
- Safety System Test: Restore power to the elevator, enter maintenance mode, and perform the “overspeed simulation test” (using Otis’s test mode):
-
- Confirm the pre-overspeed alarm activates at 105% of rated speed.
-
- Verify the emergency stop and safety gear engagement at 115% of rated speed.
- Full Operation Test: Run the elevator through 5 full cycles (lowest to highest floor) to ensure smooth operation—no safety system false triggers.
- Documentation: Record the replacement date, test results, and maintenance personnel’s name (as required by elevator safety regulations). Troubleshoot: If false triggers occur, recheck rope tension or switch wiring; contact Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts’ 24/7 technical support for guidance.
Recommended Replacement Cycle
The service life of the TAB20602K4 depends on usage intensity, environmental conditions, and maintenance quality. Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts provides safety-focused replacement guidelines (aligned with Otis’s safety standards):
- Normal Use (residential buildings, 8-12 hours daily operation, well-maintained machine room): Replacement cycle of 8 to 10 years.
- High-Intensity Use (commercial towers, airports, 18-24 hours daily operation, frequent start-stop cycles): Replacement cycle shortened to 5 to 7 years.
- Harsh Environments (machine rooms with high dust, humidity >70%, or temperature fluctuations >40°C): Replacement cycle of 4 to 6 years.
Key Indicators for Immediate Replacement
- Mechanical Wear: Rope groove depth reduced by >1.5mm (measured with a depth gauge) or gear train jamming (no smooth rotation).
- Switch Failure: Pre-overspeed alarm or emergency switch does not activate at specified speeds (even after adjustment).
- Structural Damage: Cracks in the cast iron housing, bent rope groove, or broken centrifugal components (pose safety risks).
- Regulatory Compliance: Some regions require mandatory replacement every 10 years (regardless of condition)—follow local elevator safety codes.
Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts emphasizes: Never extend the replacement cycle beyond the recommended limit—an outdated speed limiter may fail to trigger safety measures during overspeed, leading to severe accidents. The company offers bulk ordering discounts for maintenance teams to ensure timely replacement (critical for compliance and safety).
