A gearless elevator refers to a traction elevator system that utilizes a motor without a gearbox. In Latin, it is known as "gearless," meaning without a gearbox (gearless elevator).
The components of a gearless elevator are divided into two categories: doors and rails, and the control system.
| Category | Component Name |
| Doors and Rails | T9 rail, T5 rail, T16 rail, T5 bracket, T9 bracket, T16 bracket, bolts and nuts (sizes 8, 10, and 12), T5 clip, T9 clip, T16 clip |
| Control System | Control panel, encoder box, cabin door, mechanical cam, traveling cable, duct (sizes 3 and 10), oil pot, floor and cabin buttons, floor door lock, UPS, etc. |
The mechanism of a gearless motor works by directly transferring the driving force from the motor to the traction pulley. Today, this type of motor is the best choice for high-efficiency traffic conditions, as gearless motors operate with variable voltage and frequency.
Gearless motors include both domestic and foreign brands, as listed below:
1. Foreign Brands : Ziehl-Abegg, Monodrive, Sicor, Montanari, Wittur
2. Domestic Brands : Behran
The new generation of elevators might initially impose higher upfront costs on the buyer, but the advantage of a gearless elevator is that its motor is designed to require less maintenance and repair services. This technology offers high-speed movement, smooth operation, and low noise levels for passengers. Additionally, significant energy savings and reduced oil consumption are major benefits of purchasing a gearless elevator.
- High motor efficiency
- Speeds of 1, 1.6, 2, and 2.5 meters per second
- Reduced size and weight of the elevator motor compared to geared motors
- Decreased noise and vibrations in the elevator cabin
- Reduced environmental damage
- Lower wear and tear
Gearless motors can reduce energy and electricity consumption by up to 50% compared to geared motors. However, it should be noted that the purchase cost of these types of elevators is significantly higher than that of geared elevators. Additionally, due to the absence of a gearbox, there is no need for monthly inspections and oil replacement costs.
Gearless elevators, due to their operation with variable voltage and frequency, can be among the best choices for high-efficiency traffic conditions. Therefore, they are used in large office, commercial, and hotel projects with high capacities and speeds.
