KINETIC ENERGY, AND ASME A17.1 2000  FOR ELEVATOR DOOR SYSTEMS 

  

Requirement 2.13.4.2.4 of ASME A17.1 2000 stipulates that a data tag must be attached to the 

door operator or car crosshead. If you are in a jurisdiction that has adopted the 2000 code, you 

need  to  read  and  understand  this  requirement,  and  all  of  the  related  requirements.  (see 

attached)  

  

The data tag is required to show:  

- The minimum closing code time for the door system that will result in average kinetic 

  energy of less than 7.37 foot-pounds.  

- The minimum code closing time for the door system, when in nudging, that will result 

  in average kinetic energy of less than 2.5 foot-pounds.  

  

The  attached  data  tables  are  designed  to  give 

GAL

  customers  the  information  necessary  to 

comply  with  these  requirements.  If  you  use  all 

GAL

  equipment,  and  follow 

GAL

  instructions, 

these  sheets  will  give  you  the  minimum  closing  code  time  for  all  of  the  normal  door 

configurations, sizes, and operator models available.  

  

Notes:  

Code Closing Distance / Time 

 

On  side  opening,  the  code  distance  starts  2”  from  the  jamb  and  goes  to  2”  from  full  close. 

(opening size – 4”) On center opening, code distance starts 1” from the jamb and goes to 1” 

from  full  close.  (still  opening  size  –  4”)  Times  shown  are  minimums  for  the  code  closing 

distance  

  

Average Kinetic Energy (7.37 ft lbs) 

 

This  is  the  requirement  for  which  the  times  shown  on  the  data  tables  were  calculated.  The 

rotational inertia of the motor and operator is included in these calculations. 

GAL

’s calculations 

include equipment rigidly connected thereto and accommodate all hangers, rollers, clutches, 

closers, releases, and any normal reopening devices  

  

Actual (peak) Kinetic Energy (17 ft lbs) 

 

Using 

GAL

 equipment and following 

GAL

 instructions, you will not exceed the requirement for 

actual (peak) KE.  

  

Nudging Kinetic Energy (2.5 ft lbs) 

 

If taking the minimum closing code time for your application and doubling it, you will have a 

safe time to use for the requirement under nudging. (Note – this is a very conservative time, if 

you want to close your door more quickly while in nudging, call 

GAL

 for an absolute minimum)  

 

 

Non Standard Systems 

 

A non-standard application, like three speed doors, or panels that are so heavy or light that 

they fall outside the range shown on the data tables, you can call 

GAL

 and we will calculate 

closing code time for your job.  

 

 

 

 

The  following  paragraphs  are  excerpted  from  ASME  17.1  2000.  They  are  provided  here  for 

your convenience only.
