Accepted Answer

Running clearance is the space required for the elevator car to move smoothly along the guide rails.

Running clearance is the distance between the guide rails and the elevator car.
It is important to ensure that the running clearance is sufficient to prevent any friction or interference between the car and the rails.
Running clearance can vary depending on the type of elevator and the manufacturer's specifications.
