The gearless system is one of the new generation elevator systems widely used in residential, building, commercial, and office projects. Here, we will explain this system in detail.
A gearless elevator is a traction elevator system that uses a motor without a gearbox. In English, it is known as a gearless elevator.
Gearless elevator components are divided into two categories: doors and rails, and startup equipment.
The mechanism of the gearless motor is such that the driving force is directly transferred from the motor to the traction pulley. Nowadays, 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 Iranian and foreign brands, as specified in the table below:
Although the new generation of elevators might initially impose a higher cost on the buyer, the advantage of gearless elevators is that their motors are designed to require less maintenance and repair. This technology provides high-speed movement, smooth operation, and low noise for passengers. Notably, the significant reduction in energy and oil consumption is a clear benefit when purchasing a gearless elevator.
Energy and electricity consumption in gearless motors can be reduced by up to 50% compared to geared motors. However, it should be noted that the purchase cost of these elevators is significantly higher than geared elevators. Additionally, due to the absence of a gearbox, there is no need for monthly inspections and oil change costs.
Given that gearless elevators operate with variable voltage and frequency, they can be one of the best choices for high-efficiency traffic conditions. Therefore, they are used in large office, commercial, and hotel projects with high capacities and speeds.

Gearless motors have no gearbox or gearbox and provide very smooth movement. We have the least damage to the environment in the gearless system.
The existence of elevator overload is mandatory for every elevator and without its installation, no device will receive a license to use and operate.
Like a car brake, when the speed of the elevator exceeds a certain limit, this braking system prevents the elevator from falling or continuing to move.
Elevator encoders significantly impact smooth elevator movement, seamless cabin stops, and accurate door operations at various floors.
