Gearbox Elevator 6 Person

A gearbox elevator is a type of elevator that supplies the input driving force from the electromotor to the traction pulley, using a gearbox. The motor is the main elevator core that is used to perform all the necessary operations to move the elevator cabin up and downward, because the motor supplies the required force to move the cabin. To use gearbox motors in elevator systems, you need to use machine rooms that are normally placed on the roof. 

Just like other types of elevators, gearbox elevators are also manufactured and used in various capacities and distinct technical specifications. The gearbox elevator system is the old-fashioned elevator system with more available and affordable parts and equipment. In this post, we take a look into the 6-person gearbox elevator specifications. 

6-person gearbox elevator specifications

The 6-person gearbox elevator consists of parts that are necessary to run the elevator properly. To install the 6-person gearbox elevator, you need to use parts with special specifications. We analyze some of the most important parts of gearbox elevators:

The 6-person gearbox elevator’s motor

The gearbox elevator motor is one of the main elevator parts in the gearbox elevator system with various capacities. Electric motors, gearbox pulleys, electric brakes, and gearboxes are the most important components in gearbox motors. These motors come in different types, in terms of design and performance. 

Based on elevator standards, the 6-person gearbox elevator takes 450 Kg weight. Please ask an elevator expert to choose the motor for a 6-person gearbox elevator. Generally, for a 6-person gearbox elevator, you can use a motor with below specifications:

The most reputable and available gearbox motor brands

The below-mentioned gearbox motors for the 6-person elevator are currently available in the market:

• Behran Iranian elevator motor

• Alco Iranian motor

• IR10 KOUPLE motor

• Ital Italian motor 

• EKER motor

• Sassi Italian motor 

• Sassi Spanish motor

•  Montanari Italian motor

Different types of gearbox motor:

• Single-speed gearbox motor

• Double-speed gearbox motor

In these motors, the gearbox plays an important role and transfers the mechanical power from the source to the consuming parts. In fact, the gearbox elevator motors convert mechanical energy into torque, and move the cabin between floors by rotating the traction sheave.

Important tip:

When buying single-speed elevator motors, please note that we need encoder parts to set up this type of motor. Factories normally couple the encoder on the motor, or they are added to the motor when purchasing one. 

 6-person elevator rail

The 6-person elevator rail is made of steel to resist pressure, bumps, and deflection. The elevator rail is responsible for directing the counterweight and cabin. The choice of rail brand, and its thickness depends on building height, elevator capacity, and number of stops. Moreover, they are designed and installed to prevent incidents and improve user safety. This way, the elevator does not go out of its way, and they prevent potential vibrancy. 

It is recommended to use T9-T5 elevator rails for smoother and better movement of a 6-person gearbox elevator with 4-8 stops. For a 6-person gearbox elevator with more than 9 stops, you need to use T5-T16 rails. 

In addition to that, in an elevator with 4-8 stops, and 1.6 m/s speed the cabin T16 rail provides a smoother elevator ride.

6-person elevator door

Elevator doors consist of two types of cabin and floor doors. Under floor door sub-categories, you can find manual or hinged doors and automatic ones. 

The elevator door can be classified based on its type of opening. Therefore, the elevator door is classified into below categories:

• Sliding-telescopic elevator door

• Central elevator door 

• Folding or bus-like elevator door

• Single-leaf simple or hinged elevator door

Nowadays, automatic doors have become popular in most construction projects in Mashhad and other cities. It is worth noting that the price difference between hinged and automatic doors justifies the popularity of automatic elevator doors for the employer. Moreover, automatic doors are more common and more attractive options in the construction competitive market. Automatic and hinged doors are the best options for a 6-person elevator with an 80cm wide door.

Elevator doors are placed at the entrance of cabins and they should be designed and installed with the help of expert and experienced people. Otherwise, it will result in damages, and many life and financial losses occur for its passengers.

The well dimension is a significant consideration for a 6-person gearbox elevator. To install a 6-person elevator door, you need to consider below well dimensions:

After installing the door framework, you can specify the dimensions of the doors. 

6-person elevator cabin:

The elevator cabin is the room using which we can move between floors. The elevator cabin consists of different components such as the elevator door, roof, walls, floor, control buttons, and other fancy elements that may vary depending on the elevator's capacity.

To run a 6-person elevator cabin you need to have a 160*160 elevator well. A 6-person elevator cabin can move 450 kg weight of passengers and loads, and have a minimum of 1.17 square meters and 1.30 square meter area.

Elevator cabins are classified based on material, type of door, and type of application, which is fully explained in the elevator cabin post. 

The price of a 6-person elevator:

Elevators are priced with respect to various variables and factors. The quality and brand of parts, type of elevators, building height, number of stops, capacity, type of building, project special requirements, currency market fluctuations, elevator part brands, etc. are the factors influencing the price of different elevators. When inquiring about the price for your elevator project, you need to contact an expert and reputable company. 

The price of a 6-person gearbox elevator starts from $... and this can vary based on the above-mentioned factors. Therefore, please contact Owj Lift's sales expert to inquire about the price of a 6-person gearbox elevator.

Purchasing 6-person gearbox elevator

To purchase the elevator, please inquire from companies certified with elevator and escalator design and assembly licenses with a minimum one-year expiry date. Only lawful companies can obtain standard certificates, and provide after-sales services. Finally, it is crucial to have your project well visited by the contractor company and provide you with the required details about door sizes, the type of elevator structure implementation, and so on.
