Elevator Motor
One of the most important parts of elevators that help to pass between floors is defined as the elevator motor. The more information about this motor, which is one of the main components, the more trouble-free the use of the elevator will be for long periods of time.
What is an elevator motor?
In the elevator system, the part that allows the car to move up and down and carry loads is called the elevator motor. This electric motor works together with the gearbox. Thus, the cabin performs the desired movements smoothly.
Elevator Motor Types
With the active use of elevators in both homes and workplaces, elevator motors have started to be produced according to their usage areas. The most preferred elevator motor types are asynchronous (induction) motors. These are low cost and maintenance requirements are extremely low.
Synchronous motors are highly efficient and known for less energy consumption. Permament magnet motors have permanent magnets on them. They are frequently preferred especially in modern elevators. In addition to these, transformer motors, hybrid motors, direct drive motors are also among the preferred elevator motors according to their usage areas.
Basic Working Principle of the Elevator Motor
The basic working principles of the elevator motors actively used today are based on the correct conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. Thus, the elevator car can easily move up and down. The motor rotates the rotor with its magnetic fields. The realized rotation helps the car to move with direct drive mechanisms or gear systems.
Elevator Motor Maintenance
Motors used in elevators are generally produced from quality materials to be used for a long time. However, damages that may occur for use seriously reduce the life of the motors.
In order to prevent this, regular maintenance is required. Our experts aim to fulfill the demands in the best way in terms of maintenance as well as purchase. All parts related to the engine and its connections are examined in detail. If deemed necessary as a result of the examination, parts are replaced.
How to Choose an Elevator Motor?
It is very important to make the right choice among elevator motors produced according to different needs.
The main factors to be considered when making a choice are as follows;
· Carrying capacity of the engine
· Requested speed between floors for the elevator
· Desired engine type
· Frequency control
· Energy efficiency
· Ambient conditions
· Vibration level and noise
· Brake system
· Weight and size
Each of the elevator motors produced has its own different features. At this stage, it is very important to determine the demands correctly and to make the selection accordingly. Those who do not know how to make the right choice among the existing options can contact our experts. After detailed interviews, not only the right engine selection is made. At the same time, the necessary after-sales support is also received in the best way.
