Provided by a precision machined
gear-motor assembly which is mounted to the top of the
guide rails (within the elevator shaft, not in the
attic). Raises and lowers the cab via two cables. Motor
is controlled using a Variable Voltage, Variable
Frequency Electronic Drive System. Standard capacity is
950 lbs. Winding drum units do not require a machine
room! |
Provided by a hydraulic pump and
motor, both submersed inside the oil reservoir to reduce
noise and vibration. The hydraulic pump raises and
lowers a hydraulic cylinder, which is connected to the
elevator cab via two cables and a pulley. This system
requires a machine room to place the hydraulic pump unit
in. Standard capacity is 750 lbs. |
Uses a gearless permanent magnet
motor and counterweight system—the same technology used
in many high rise buildings—which makes the elevator
extremely quiet and smooth. The counterweights are used
to offset the weight of the elevator cab. This results
in being able to use a smaller motor and less energy.
