    WHAT IS A TRACTION ELEVATOR?

    ● Traction elevators are efficient and suitable for high-rise structures.

    ● They use ropes and a counterweight system for vertical transportation.

    ● They operate by an electric motor pulling the elevator car through a system of

    ropes and counterweights.

    ● Traction elevators provide a smoother ride compared to hydraulic elevators,

    offering better control and precision in stopping at desired floors.


    PARTS OF A TRACTION ELEVATOR
    1. Elevator Car: The compartment that transports passengers or goods.
    2. Counterweight: Balances the load of the elevator car, reducing the power needed for
    operation.
    3. Traction Sheave: A grooved wheel connected to the motor by a set of ropes, responsible for
    moving the elevator car.
    4. Motor: Provides the power to drive the traction system and move the elevator.
    5. Governor: Safety device that regulates the elevator speed and activates the brakes in case
    of overspeed.
    6. Control System: Manages the elevator's movements, ensuring precise stops and smooth
    rides.
    7. Ropes or Cables: Connect the elevator car to the counterweight, passing over the traction
    sheave, enabling vertical movement.
    TRACTION ELEVATOR
    TYPES OF TRACTION ELEVATORS:

    Gearless Traction A direct connection between the


    Elevators motor and the traction sheave,
    eliminating the need for gears.
    Efficient, quiet, low Enables smoother rides, high
    maintenance, high capacity, speeds, large weight capacities,
    sleek design. and sleek designs.

    Geared Traction
    Utilize gears for motion, lower
    Elevators
    initial cost, moderate energy
    Cost-effective, moderate efficiency, may produce more
    speed, more maintenance, noise and vibration.
    suitable for mid-rise
    buildings.
    Gearless traction elevators
    offer superior energy efficiency,
    quieter operation, and reduced
    maintenance compared to geared
    traction elevators. With their direct
    drive system, they provide smoother
    rides, higher speeds, and greater
    capacity, making them ideal for
    modern high-rise buildings and
    luxury installations.

    vs

    Geared traction elevators


    utilize a gear mechanism to move the
    elevator car within the shaft. They are
    cost-effective, moderate in speed, and
    suitable for mid-rise buildings. While
    they have a lower initial cost, they may
    require more maintenance and can
    produce more noise and vibration
    compared to gearless traction
    elevators.
