Technical Analysis & Application of Single-Line Pulsating Circulating Passenger Ropeways

Single-line pulsating circulating passenger ropeways are reliable transport for mountain and canyon scenic spots with poor ground access. They cause little environmental damage.

1. Operating Mechanism & Speed Regulation

Key parts: drive station, deflection station, tensioning unit, hauling rope, supports, sheave assemblies and passenger gondolas. Motors drive drive wheels to circulate steel ropes, supported by intermediate-support sheave groups.

Stepless speed control: - 0.3-0.4 m/s on station approach for safe boarding of seniors and children - 3-4 m/s after departure for higher efficiency - Maximum permitted speed: 4.0 m/s.

2. Advantages and Application Scenarios

1. Strong terrain adaptability: Cross mountains, rivers and valleys. Low-impact construction for eco-sensitive zones.

2. Comfortable riding: Fully-enclosed wind-resistant gondolas; low-speed boarding improves safety.

3. Cost-effective: Short construction cycle, moderate investment and maintenance. Suitable for ~1 km medium-short routes; hourly one-way capacity: 300-500 passengers for small-and-medium scenic spots.

3. Main Equipment Components

Station-Mounted Electromechanical System

Includes main drive, auxiliary rescue drive, multi-stage brakes, speed monitor and door-control mechanisms. Auxiliary drive serves rescue; multi-level brakes enable emergency stops.

Line-Support System

Supports and sheave assemblies hold and guide ropes, preventing rope jumping or derailment for stable long-term operation.
