Elevator Designs

Machine Room Less Elevator
For building owners the machine room less Elevator system results in lower construction costs - firstly because there is no machine room and secondly because the machine itself is located on top of the guide rails. It also gives flexibilities to architects in terms of designing the roof tops. This means that all the force is transmitted via the rails on to the pit floor. Again pit depth and space provision for overhead area is significantly lesser.

Electric Traction Machine Below
1:1 roped Single wrap. Generally restricted to 30 meters. The headroom required above the elevator well is reduced in this layout by having the machine mounted at or below the lowest floor level served. This method doubles the rope length and load on the building structure or elevator shaft.

Electric Traction Machine Above
1:1 roped (the rope linear speed and the car travel speed are the same). An economical and efficient roping system applicable to many medium and high speed elevator systems. In this arrangement diverter is required to be installed.

Electric Traction Machine Above
2:1 roped (the rope linear speed is twice the car travel speed). This layout permits the machine to carry twice the elevator car load as compared to 1:1 roping.
