Abstract: AN escalator is a mechanics moving stair way common in place with a lot of foot traffic or where a convention al staircase would be a very long and tiring to climb. it can be seen malls shopping complex parking escalator are often installed in pair with an up escalator and adown escalator adjacent to each other while single escalator may be changed to go up and down according to the direction of heavier traffic at different time and day. escalator is similar that of conveyor but can be move inclined to move from one end of an escalator also include a handrail that moves in conjunction with the stairs. These gears have chain that loop around the gear and run down each side of the escalator. The handrail that rider use for balance and safety on their ride up or down escalator are powered by the same system that power the faster the shaft revolves the metal ball swung out by centrifugal force a should the lift speed exceed a predetermined figure the governor actuates a brake.
