    摘要: A tool for replacing an escalator drive shaft comprises a first tool and a second tool. One side of the first tool is adapted to be assembled on an original shaft adapter, and the other side of the first tool is adapted to be assembled on a new shaft adapter. The second tool is adapted to be assembled on the first tool. A central axis of the first tool coincides with a central axis of the original shaft adapter, a central axis of the second tool coincides with the central axis of the first tool, and the central axis of the first tool coincides with a central axis of the new shaft adapter. A positioning reference of the original drive shaft is accurately transferred to the new drive shaft by the first and second tools, so that the new drive shaft may be accurately assembled to the position of the original drive shaft with respect to the truss after replacement.

    摘要: A method for mounting a conveyor chain for a pallet belt of a moving walkway is described. Provided elongated connecting elements for fastening pallets are coupled in one coupling process to one another and to chain links, which are coupled to one another, such that the connecting elements are arranged one behind the other parallel to the extension direction of the conveyor chain, each of the connecting elements is coupled at a front end to an associated first one of the chain pins, and at a rear end to an associated second one of the chain pins, wherein a connecting element spacing distance between the first and second chain pins is an integer multiple of the chain spacing distance.
