Notes About This Catalog Section

Terminology, Sizing Standards, and Use
 The primary measurements shown for parts are
based upon their design drawings.
 Most measurements are provided in both Impe-

rial units (for the United States) and metric units
(for Canada, Mexico, etc.). If only one form of a
measurement is provided, assume Imperial units
(generally inches) unless otherwise stated.
 Most Imperial measurements are rounded to the

nearest tenth or hundredth of an inch and most
metric measurements are rounded to the nearest
millimeter.
 The term “vintage” refers to the period of time in

which the original equipment was manufactured. If
installation records are not available, the vintage of
a component may be determined from a vintage tag
& Governors
Wire Rope
affixed to the component. Shown on the right are
examples of vintage tags used on Otis equipment
over the years.

Wire Ropes and Belts

Wire Rope Ordering Hints
Prior to contacting UNITEC, please secure the following information concerning your wire rope speci-
fication:
• Rope application (hoist, compensation, governor, drum, other)
• Rope diameter
• Rope lay and hand (e.g., right regular lay)
• Material of rope (steel, EH steel, iron, bronze)
• QTY of strands per rope (e.g., 6 or 8)
• Existing rope data tag info and rope info from top of car crosshead data plate
• Age of equipment (if Otis, provide the Otis sales/machine number)
Lang lay rope has the individual wires within the 6 or 8 strands, directed in the same hand orientation
as the lay of the strands.
& Governors
Wire Rope
The result being the individual wires would make more of a crossing contact on the sheave groove
rather than an “in-line” contact as in regular lay applications.
Lang lay rope is often (not always) found on Otis Jobs incorporating the use of sheave liners.
Present Otis policy is to use lang lay rope as the valid replacement rope on all sheave liner applica-
tions.
DUAL-TENSILE ROPE NOTE: Sheave hardness varies between elevator companies and sheave
design, as well as with age of the equipment. Generally speaking, sheaves designed and cast in the
early 1900s thru the 1970s and 1980s did not carry near the hardness as more contemporary ma-
chine, Comp, Overhead, Top Car/Counterweight, or Governor sheaves.
Accordingly, UNITEC does offer dual tensile rope. This rope is code compliant, carries the same
ultimate breaking strength as the standard traction design rope, but carries softer outer wires on the
strands. As a result, this Dual-Tensile rope is much more forgiving when installed on older softer
sheaves. It must be noted that there is not a rope on the market that will resolve sheave wear prob-
lems which have not been corrected at the root of the problem. If sheave grooves are worn and or
uneven, brand new rope will accelerate the wear even more. Be sure to consider UNITEC for a quote
on new sheaves if older sheaves are worn beyond serviceable condition.

Early Bail Type and Flyball Governors

& Governors
Wire Rope

NOTE: Servicing flyball governors more and more has become a business decision, which must
take into account wear in related members which would not be resolved even by replacing some of
the simpler common replacement parts. Generally speaking, if the governor has been shown to not
operate properly due to wear of the governor bevel gears, spindle shaft, clutch gear wear or even
wear in the pin bores in the cast base of the governor (each of these scenarios involves substantial
part lead-time, cost and labor—often more than a complete new governor). UNITEC does supply new
governor assemblies as follows: Apollo-12 in. (3/8˝ rope), Samson-12 in. (3/8˝ rope, 200 FPM to
800 FPM), JDA20610AAA 16.5 in. (1/2˝ rope, type 7063E), and JDA20610AAA 24 in. (1/2˝ rope,
7063F) type governors.
R Type Governor
Identification Notes: ‘R’ Type Governors have gone through 3 or 4 design versions over the years.
Earliest governors had 1-1/4 in. sheave shafts with a grease groove in the shaft. No bushings were
present on these governors originally. It is no longer cost effective to rebuild these early governors.
Replace the entire governor from this earliest vintage with a type B6866B1 or B6866B2.
Intermediate vintage ‘R’ governors (~1957) began incorporating bushings in stand, sheave and dog
& Governors
Wire Rope
wheel and had 1 in. diameter shafts pinned in stand. It is possible but time-consuming to rebuild this
version governor. Do not attempt to do so if sheave is worn—rather install a new governor.
Replacement of just a sheave on all but the latest version ‘R’ governor is neither possible nor recom-
mended. All pre-1966 ‘R’ type governors had sheave shafts pinned by square head bolt in stand.
After 1965, shafts were secured via knurled end on 1 in. shaft. Though not sufficient for latest code
compliance (no up overspeed trip protection as well as not having the necessary switches as stan-
dard), ‘R’ type governors are still produced and available through UNITEC for those applications
where Modernizations are not being performed.

NOTE: Servicing flyball governors more and more has become a business decision, which must take
into account wear in related members which would not be resolved even by replacing some of the
simpler common replacement parts or even the more expensive components. Generally speaking,
if the governor has been shown to not operate properly due to wear of the governor bevel gears,
spindle shaft, clutch gear wear or even wear in the pin bores in the cast base of the governor (each of
these scenarios involves substantial part lead-time, cost, and labor often more than a complete new

200 FPM to 800 FPM), and JDA20610AAA 16.5 in. (1/2 in. rope, 7063E) type governors, as pos-
sible replacements for your flyball governor application.
Use the following unique features to distinguish EA/EAO governors from FA, FAO, FSAO governors:
EA/EAO:
• Usually used between 400 and 600 FPM and incorporate bronze sheave shaft sleeves
• Has a 2-piece spindle stand (split bevel gear housing area) and ball thrust bearing at both bottom
and upper guide areas for spindle shaft
& Governors

FA/FAO/FSAO:
• Usually used between ranges of speed 90 and 300 FPM (different for the three different gover-

• Poured Babbitt sheave shaft journals for both support of sheave and rope vertically as well as
side thrust of sheave hub
• 1-piece spindle stand
• Split bronze upper spindle guide sleeve and either ball bearing or Babbitted lower spindle shaft
