Designing a Lift

Synopsis: A lift mechanism includes many engineering features which illustrate principles taught in the course. The workings of a mine lift at Ellington Colliery are taken as case examples - one based on a traction drive system and the other on a drum drive. Among the items whose engineering mechanics are studied are the cables, drum size, cage motion, safety governors and the role of friction in effecting the drive mechanism.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
