Elevator Technical Systems

An elevator is a public transportation tool used in buildings to vertically transport people and goods between floors. Safety in elevator operation is of utmost importance, and having precise and up-to-date information about the technical system ensures the safe operation of the elevator. This information helps improve elevator traffic, reduce energy consumption, and enhance overall efficiency.

Elevator Technical Systems

Elevator technical systems, as an essential part of a building's infrastructure, are used for the vertical movement of people and goods between floors. These technical systems include gearbox systems, gearless, machine room-less (MRL), and hydraulic systems. Each system, with its unique features and functions, contributes to the improved performance, safety, and efficiency of the elevator.

Gearbox systems ensure smooth operation and precise control, while gearless and MRL systems are designed to increase efficiency and reduce noise.

These technologies are constantly evolving and improving. Detailed knowledge of these systems helps engineers and building managers ensure proper design, installation, and maintenance.

Gearbox System

A gearbox elevator is a type of traction elevator where the driving force is transmitted to the cabin through a gearbox motor. In this system, the motor with its gearbox helps the cabin travel to different floors of the building. Unlike hydraulic elevators that use hydraulic jacks for movement, gearbox elevators operate based on mechanical principles, offering high efficiency during operation. Various components and equipment are required for the installation and operation of gearbox elevators, including different rails (such as T9, T5, T16), brackets, bolts, nuts, guides, control panels, used boxes, and other equipment. These components are supplied and installed by Owj Lift according to high standards to ensure optimal performance and safety. Additionally, the gearbox motor, which is located in the elevator machine room, is a key part of this system. The gearbox motors can include domestic brands like Behran, Elko, and Unique, as well as foreign brands such as Ital, Akre, Citor, and Sicor. These motors are selected for installation in various elevators based on the project's needs and technical standards. One of the main advantages of using gearbox elevators from Owj Lift is the ease of installation, low maintenance costs, and more affordable pricing compared to hydraulic and gearless systems. These elevators operate at a speed of one meter per second, which improves efficiency and reduces passengers' waiting time. Furthermore, their components are widely available in the market and the construction industry.

Gearbox elevators, due to their high efficiency and versatile applications, are used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. The installation of these elevators requires the preparation of the pit or shaft, scaffolding installation, white coating of the pit, and execution of the chassis and structure, all carried out by the expert team at Owj Lift.

Gearless System

A gearless elevator is a type of traction elevator that operates without using a gearbox. This advanced technology, through the use of gearless motors, provides improved efficiency along with smooth and quiet operation. Since gearless motors transfer force directly to the traction pulley, they are considered the most optimal choice for projects with various needs, including commercial, office, and hotel buildings. Gearless motor brands include both foreign and domestic options, with foreign brands like ZIEHL-ABEGG, Monodrive, Sicor, Montanari, and Wittur, and the domestic brand being Behran. Gearless elevator components include various rails (such as T9, T5, T16), brackets, bolts, nuts, guides, control panels, used boxes, cabin doors, mechanical arms, traveling cables, different ducts, oilers, floor and cabin call buttons, floor door locks, and UPS systems.

Owj Lift offers the best gearless elevator options, focusing on benefits and exceptional services to customers. These elevators not only enhance efficiency and silent operation but also prove to be cost-effective due to reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance requirements.

By choosing gearless elevators from Owj Lift, customers can benefit from:

• High quality and reliability
• Optimal performance
• Energy savings and lower maintenance costs
• Low wear and tear
• High motor efficiency
• Reduced environmental impact, and more.

Machine Room-Less (MRL) System

A machine room-less (MRL) elevator is a type of traction elevator that operates without requiring a machine room at the top of the building. This system replaces the machine room with control equipment and the motor in the elevator shaft, allowing for a more aesthetically pleasing architectural design and reduced construction material costs. MRL elevators are considered a modern and economical option for buildings. By eliminating the machine room at the top, more space is available, and the building design becomes more efficient and attractive.By choosing MRL elevators from Owj Lift, you can experience easy installation and flawless performance in terms of efficiency and cost savings, enhancing the value of the building and ensuring customer satisfaction.

Hydraulic System

A hydraulic elevator operates by using a hydraulic piston to move the cabin up and down. This piston is controlled by an electric motor that pumps hydraulic fluid into it. Hydraulic elevators are typically used in buildings with a maximum of 5 stops and a capacity of 6-8 people, and they are also suitable for transporting heavy loads in warehouses and industrial buildings. They have low energy consumption. Advantages of hydraulic elevators include smooth and quiet movement, gentle stopping, easy access for maintenance, energy savings of up to 70%, space efficiency, and no need for a rooftop machine room. These features make hydraulic elevators an ideal choice for commercial, residential, villa, and panoramic elevators. Owj Lift uses reputable brands like Wittur and Elmo for hydraulic motors, ensuring quality and optimal performance that satisfy customers.

Evaluation

An evaluation of technical elevator systems shows that each system has its own features and benefits, chosen based on project requirements. Gearbox systems are an ideal choice for residential and commercial buildings due to their easy installation and low maintenance costs. These systems provide efficiency and comfort with their appropriate speed and mechanical performance.

Gearless elevators are valued for their quiet and smooth operation and high energy efficiency. Machine room-less (MRL) elevators are favored for eliminating the need for a machine room, while hydraulic elevators are appreciated for their energy efficiency and lack of a rooftop machine room requirement.
