OLD 1970s OTIS elevator machinery - lift motor room tour

[@SamSitar]

these older motors rooms are very entertaining. so many moving parts to see. matt your filming is excellent. the offset brushes act like brakes on a car.

[@gandalf87264]

I love the sound of those big old contactors clicking on and off. I love elextricety 😄 I would like to see a part 2 to this video please?

[@luciennunes6889]

Nice simple 7039 selector, almost relaxing to watch. Thanks for another glimpse into the magical world of the motor room!

[@upanddownadventures]

Lucien Nunes Was this type of selector used in the United States?

[@denandrew5071]

+upanddownadventures It is also used in Italy

[@TarzanAndConz]

Love the motor sound when it changes from high to low speed!

[@GaryReggae]

Very interesting indeed, thanks for sharing. The building I used to work in had very similiar but slightly older (late 60s) lifts in, these included the infamous rotating plate selectors. All very Otis. I note a few electronic components in this controller cabinet wheras ours were entirely electromechanical. Sadly there aren't many of these setups left now.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

yep, there are very few that I don't have. Express U, Otis V, Massive U shaped one for a goods lift, drop key, long drop key, triangular key + a few more.

[@GaryReggae]

Oh, and I'd be very grateful for more videos or any other info on how this stuff works. I've been trying to make a working lift 'game' in Blender.

[@emmareporter4324]

Damn the Motor sounds like harmony

[@ersonthemesa]

Again, thanks for your videos....I enjoy All your close ups, demo relay trips and follow through explanations ....Love your channel channel....Oh, and "Hey" to Chay.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

+Bill Brice thanks, I will get Chay to reply :)

[@TarzanAndConz]

And yes, i would love a part two. By the way: the 15 minute upload limit is long gone. Must have been 2 years ago that it was there.

​@@qeelevators2960 hm?

[@hariranormal5584]

I still, Remember this. FROM so old

[@KIRBZVIDS]

love sound of thease lifts i got one on my channel you might like buddy we drove the lift using inspection control and you can hear it stays in its first speed

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Yes, these have a unique sound to them.

[@Liftenland]

Sorry, I deleted your material kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXXbpaaql71qd68&feature=em-comments kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_CgYeagqmkbbM&feature=em-comments

[@mrmattandmrchay]

@@Liftenland cool, thanks :) KZbin has a 'copyright' section now, which automatically finds channels sharing content. Found my videos all over youtube that I wasn't aware of :) I hope no hard feelings. Matt

[@mrmattandmrchay]

thanks :) take pride in your work is my motto (as well as others lol)

[@qeelevators2960]

EPIC MOTOR!

[@fklabs6813]

The motors do have fans attached to them, but I couldnt hear any fan noises. Are they only running when the motor gets warm?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Good question and I think you've answered it yourself! From the lifts I've seen, the fans normally run at the same time as the motor. Having a thermostat to control each fan on each motor is just something else to go wrong. So they've either not been worked hard enough for the thermostat to kick in, or perhaps they don't work :) These have been modernised now, so guess we'll never know now!

[@upanddownadventures]

I want to see a part 2!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

I've been a naughty boy and uploaded copyright material (music) and "Increased limit not available for this account". I don't really mind as 15 minutes is long enough anyway :)

[@FireController1847]

lol, good job xD

[@qds1085]

hermoso video , una pregunta la maquina es una 15 atl de 2 velocidades , el selector un 7039 g y el control podría ser un 21 n6 c o me equivoco . gracias por compartir

[@theliftchannelandmore7670]

Awesome Motor

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Birmingham Lift channel and tours One of the best motors I've recorded :)

[@patrick7447]

Yes, that motor sound is Cool

[@funcik1]

Btw ... something personal , have you got shaft 'V' key for old gated lifts ? xD

[@VijayKumar-in7zw]

Strong job

[@denandrew5071]

Great technology

[@Oli92Technik]

great one dude! thanks!

[@funcik1]

Im just asking , becuase for textiles in school I will try to do a 'V' key which can be mostly used in old gated lifts... all I know is 1cm on sides and it has 90degress shape ....the thing is when you insert the key to a hole , does it have specifc design (sharp shape) ? or is just flat thing that you have to push inside

[@caroleast9636]

You have to put the key in and then angle it in a specific way to work the lock. It helps if you know how the lock works. My keys were always smoothly rounded at the end, but that was just to save wearing holes in my pocket!

[@claudiamonteiro7702]

só gosto dos antigos e seus sons que me deixam enebriada.

[@ag6371]

Is that the machine room for the elevators that you got scared when you are young?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Yup!

[@emmareporter4324]

mrmattandmrchay I knew it because on the vid with the mod u said the room was remarkably similar

[@mohammeddavis]

It's clean at least

[@urgentkestrel7990]

Do they still exist in 2022?

[@hariranormal5584]

No, this one has already been modernised iirc like 3-4 years from when the vid is present. MrMatt made a update also

[@kansasthunderman1]

Those are European style geared machines with the ring gear below the worm.

[@peterlomas984]

+kansasthunderman1 Yes they are 15ATL machines, AT denotes that it is (above traction) 15 is the distance between the motor shaft (fast speed) and the drive sheave shaft (slow speed) the measurements are in inches.

[@caroleast9636]

The 15 in the designation is the pitch diameter of the wormwheel to the nearest inch.
