Actuator. A manually operated device that initiates the
						  action of controls or controllers.
Antirunaway (Safety Stop). A safety device to stop and
						  hold the uncontrolled descent of a platform or carrier.
Backstop. A mechanical device to prevent reversal of a
						  loaded vertical or inclined reciprocating conveyor under action of gravity when
						  upward travel is interrupted.
Bracing. Structural members used to stabilize the
						  supporting structure.
Brake. A friction device for slowing down conveyor
						  components, bringing conveyor equipment to a controlled stop, holding traveling
						  equipment at a selected landing, preventing reverse travel, and controlling
						  overspeed due to the action of gravity.
Carrier or Platform. The moving part of a vertical or
						  inclined reciprocating conveyor that supports the load.
Control. The system governing the starting, stopping,
						  direction of motion, acceleration, speed, retardation identification, and
						  function of the moving member in a predetermined manner.
Controller. An electromechanical device or assembly of
						  devices for starting, stopping, accelerating, or decelerating a drive, or
						  serving to govern in the predetermined manner the power delivered to the
						  drive.
Conveyor Vertical or Inclined. A hydraulically or
						  mechanically powered reciprocating device exclusively designed for moving
						  freight (not to carry passengers or an operator) vertically or on an incline
						  between two or more landings and/or between different levels on a single
						  floor.
Counterweight. Weights in a structural frame used to
						  balance or impose a load.
Drive. An assembly of the necessary structural,
						  mechanical, and electrical parts that provides the motive power.
Emergency Stop. A stop resulting from a sudden and
						  unexpected need, and not as part of the normal operation.
Emergency Stop Switch. A device that must be actuated
						  in an emergency situation to stop a conveyor.
Enclosed. Describes the guarding of moving parts in
						  such a manner that physical contact by parts of the body is precluded as long
						  as the guard remains in place.
Guard. A covering or barricade to prevent entry into
						  operating components such as gear, chain, or nip points.
Guarded. Shielded, fenced, enclosed, or otherwise
						  protected by means of suitable enclosure, covers, casing shields, troughs,
						  railings, or by nature of location as to reduce forseeable injury.
Guarded By Location. Describes moving parts so
						  protected by their remoteness from the floor, platform, walkway, or other
						  working level, or by their location with reference to frame, foundation, or
						  structure as to reduce the forseeable risk of accidental contact by persons or
						  objects.
Nip point. A point at which moving or rotating
						  machinery components may entrap persons or objects by nipping, pinching, or
						  squeezing.
