Abstract:
A cable transportation system (1) has rails (3) and a draw cable (4), both extending along a transportation path (P); a drive member (15) for driving the draw cable (4); at least one vehicle (6), which moves along the transportation path (P) and has wheels (17) which roll along the rails (3), and a coupling device (20) for connecting the vehicle (6) to the draw cable (4); at least one passenger station (7) where the vehicle (6) is stopped; and an electric machine (21) located on the vehicle (6) and driven by the wheels (17) to generate electric power.
Abstract:
A cable transportation system (1) having a pull cable (2) defined by a number of strands (7) and drawn along a path (P); at least one transportation unit (3) movable along the path (P) and connected to the pull cable (2) by a coupling device (4); a metal structure (5) located along the path (P) to support and guide the transportation unit (3); and at least one guide roller (6) for guiding the pull cable (2) and supported by the metal structure (5) by means of leaf springs (26, 27, 40) which damp vibration caused by the strands (7) of the pull cable (2) contacting the guide roller (6).
