Geared Elevator Machine

Reliable Performance for Mid-Rise Buildings

When it comes to elevator systems, the choice between geared and gearless machines depends largely on the building’s height, usage frequency, and cost considerations. Geared elevator machines have been a trusted solution for decades, known for their durability, cost-effectiveness, and performance in mid-rise and low-rise structures.

A geared elevator machine is a type of elevator drive system that uses a worm gear to connect the motor to the drive sheave. The gear system reduces the motor speed and increases torque, allowing the elevator to operate smoothly and effectively at moderate speeds. This setup is usually paired with a DC or AC motor and a reduction gearbox.

✅ Key Features of Geared Elevator Machines

  • Moderate Speed Capability: Ideal for buildings with fewer floors.

  • Worm Gear Mechanism: Provides the required torque while reducing motor speed.

  • Cost-Effective Design: Generally less expensive than gearless systems.

  • Machine Room Requirement: Typically installed in a dedicated machine room above the elevator shaft.
