Q001: During a monthly traction-machine inspection on a 1:1 roped elevator, you
note that the brake armature does not fully seat when power is removed, leaving a
0.5 mm air gap. According to ASME A17.1, which of the following actions is
required?
Options:
A. Increase brake-spring compression by two full turns
B. File the armature face flat and re-install
C. Adjust the brake solenoid stop so the armature seats metal-to-metal with no
residual gap - CORRECT
D. Apply light machine oil to the armature face to improve seating
ANSWER: C
Q002: A hydraulic passenger elevator with a single-bottom jack shows oil
accumulation in the PVC casing sump equal to 3 cm depth over 24 h. There is no
visible oil on the outside of the casing. According to the 2026 mechanical code,
which statement is correct?
Options:
A. The jack must be replaced immediately
B. The casing is considered “not leaking” and only routine monitoring is needed
, 2
C. Any measurable oil in the casing sump constitutes a reportable leak and requires
jack replacement or liner insertion - CORRECT
D. Oil up to 5 cm is acceptable if the elevator still levels correctly
ANSWER: C
Q003: While installing a roped gearless machine, you measure the brake torque
with a spring scale and obtain 95 % of the rated machine-brake torque value
stamped on the nameplate. Which adjustment is required?
Options:
A. Back the spring adjuster off 1/4 turn
B. Increase spring compression until torque equals 100 % of nameplate value -
CORRECT
C. Decrease spring compression to 90 % to prolong brake-lining life
D. No adjustment is necessary until torque falls below 90 %
ANSWER: B
Q004: A 2-stage hydraulic elevator uses a 6 in. bore cylinder for the plunger and a
4 in. bore cylinder for the inner stage. If system pressure is 150 psi, what is the
approximate total lifting force generated when both pistons are active?
Options:
A. 2,830 lbf
B. 3,770 lbf
C. 4,710 lbf - CORRECT
D. 5,650 lbf
ANSWER: C
Q005: During a periodic inspection, the car-mounted emergency brake on a
traction dumbwaiter is found to engage when the governor trips at 125 % of rated
speed. Which code section governs this test requirement?
Options:
, 3
A. ASME A17.1 Rule 204.2a
B. ASME A17.1 Rule 205.5 - CORRECT
C. ASME A17.1 Rule 1001.2
D. ASME A17.1 Rule 303.4
ANSWER: B
Q006: A machine-room-less (MRL) traction elevator exhibits a 6 mm horizontal
run-out on the drive-sheave groove when rotated manually with power off. The
manufacturer’s tolerance is 3 mm. Which repair method is acceptable?
Options:
A. Machine the sheave in place using a portable lathe - CORRECT
B. Install oversize ropes
C. Increase governor speed to compensate
D. Apply epoxy filler to the groove
ANSWER: A
Q007: A spring-buffer rated for 4,000 lb at 125 % compression shows a permanent
set of 5 mm after a drop test. The original free length was 300 mm. According to
ASME A17.1, which action is required?
Options:
A. No action; permanent set < 2 % is acceptable
B. Replace or recondition the buffer - CORRECT
C. Adjust the buffer spring pre-load
D. Reduce car speed to 75 % of rated speed
ANSWER: B
Q008: While aligning a rail bracket to within 1/16 in. tolerance, you measure a
3/32 in. gap between the bracket and the rail base. Which tool is most appropriate
to achieve the specified tolerance?
