If you are afraid of escalators, here is how to overcome that fear. Edit Steps 1 Observe how other people are using the escalator. 2 Approach it deliberately, slowly. Step out of the way to back off and wait a while--if you wish to work up to it a little. 3 Notice that most people seem to love and enjoy escalators, and approach them happily even with joy. 4 Think about why other users do not seem to be afraid. Why are you afraid? Do you just need to go for it, a few times? 5 Take your time getting on and off the escalator to be safe, and not to fall. Don't rush: keep control of your emotions, and follow steps below. 6 Grasp the moving handrail and step on. Be still. Hold onto the handrails. 7 Use the escalator carefully. If you have average eyesight, coordination, balance and agility it is considered safe to use an escalator. Is their danger--well, probably no more than falling on ordinary steps or stairs. That on...

Escalators work in much the same way that conveyor belts do, and in most cases the moving stairs are actually on a belt that rotates around a set of gears at a certain fixed speed. The gears tend to be large, and typically sit just below the steps. They are electrically powered and, as they turn, the steps move. In most cases the stairs themselves are just grooved metal that lies flat as it travels down the backside, beneath the floor, and back around again. In most cases this same system controls handrail motion, though this is an additional moving part. These machines often look really imposing, but from a mechanical perspective they tend to be pretty straightforward. Repairs are also usually pretty easy, though they can take a lot of time since they involve, in most cases, major moving parts. Accessibility is often the hardest part about servicing gears and other internal parts.  he core machinery for these large appliances is usually hidden beneath the steps...
