ABSTRACT:
An elevator drive has an electric motor 12 which drives a worm 30 that drives a gear 20,28 on a shaft 22, at right angles to the worm 30. The output shaft is in the horizontal plane, and an elevator rope sheave 10 is attached to this shaft 22. The shaft 22 is mounted on two bearings 32,36, at opposite ends of a single piece case 14. The drive is assembled by first inserting the gear 20,28 through the side of the case 14, then inserting the shaft 22 through one end of the case through the gear 20,28 and into the bearing 36. Then a thrust plate 40 is tightened down on the end of the shaft 22 to hold the shaft in place on the bearing's inner race and also thrust the gear 20,28 onto the shaft 22. The worm 30 is then inserted through the top of the case 14. Both shaft support bearings 32,36 are machined on the same axis.
