Understanding Traction Elevators

As buildings reach higher, elevators must deliver swift velocity without sacrificing acoustic comfort or energy efficiency.

Samrudhya Traction Elevators utilize advanced Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) directly coupled to precision traction sheaves. By utilizing counterweights that offset the cabin's empty mass plus 50% of rated payload, our systems drastically minimize motor effort, slashing power consumption by up to 45% compared to legacy geared drives. Compare with our Passenger Elevators or low-rise Hydraulic Elevators.

Machine-Room and MRL Options

Available in both Machine-Room-Less (MRL) and compact Machine Room (MR) architectures, each installation features digital closed-loop 32-bit microprocessor dispatching, regenerative power feed units, and dual-redundant safety braking systems.

Features and Configurations

Engineered for smooth, high-velocity vertical travel across high-density residential and commercial towers in Bangalore.

Elevator Traction Motor Technology
01

Permanent Magnet Gearless (PMSM)

Permanent Magnetic Stator Efficiency

Direct traction drive eliminates heavy worm gearboxes and mechanical backlash. Delivers immediate high torque at low rotational speeds with zero vibration.

02

Regenerative Drive Clean Power System

Harvests Gravitational Energy

When an empty car ascends or a fully loaded car descends, the motor acts as an electrical generator, feeding clean sinusoidal AC current back into building networks.

03

Machine-Room-Less (MRL) Space Saving

Mounted Within Hoistway Overhead

The compact PMSM motor sits directly atop the guide rails inside the top of the shaft, completely eliminating the need for rooftop machine rooms and saving construction expense.

04

Progressive Overspeed Braking Shield

Mechanical Independent Deceleration

Calibrated centrifugal governors instantly trip heavy progressive wedge safeties if car velocity exceeds nominal speed by 15%, gripping rails smoothly without harsh shock.

— Safety & Lifecycle Care

Installation and Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance

From turnkey Elevator Installation to monthly Elevator AMC and full Elevator Modernization, Samrudhya provides comprehensive lifecycle support across Bangalore.

Automatic Rescue Device (ARD)

Automatic battery backup brings the car to the closest floor during utility blackout, leveling flush and opening doors safely.

Centrifugal Overspeed Governor

Independent mechanical governor constantly measures suspension rope speed, clamping the car safely if speed exceeds safe parameters.

128-Beam Optical Light Mesh

Full-height infrared light mesh constantly monitors the entrance, reopening doors without touching boarding passengers.

Two-Way Intercom & IoT Link

Instant voice communication links car passengers with building security and Samrudhya's 24/7 round-the-clock emergency desk.

Digital Load Cell Overload Guard

Prevents motor departure if cabin capacity is exceeded, keeping doors open with clear audio and visual alerts.

Cloud IoT Telemetry Diagnostics

Real-time controller telemetry tracks door cycle wear and motor temperatures to predict maintenance before downtime occurs.

— Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Essential guidelines on speed selection, MRL vs Machine Room, energy regeneration, and building height.

PMSM gearless traction motors eliminate worm gears, which lose energy to friction and heat. Gearless systems save up to 45% electricity, require zero gear lubrication oil, produce almost no noise (<48 dBA), and offer significantly longer operating lifespans with lower maintenance overhead.
Modern Machine-Room-Less (MRL) elevators can comfortably handle buildings up to G+25 floors (up to 75 meters of travel) at speeds up to 1.75 m/s. For taller high-rise skyscrapers (G+30 and above), a compact rooftop machine room provides optimal express maintenance access for speeds up to 2.5 m/s.
Traction elevators use a counterweight. When a heavily loaded car descends, gravity pulls it down while the motor acts as a brake, converting rotational energy into electrical current that is filtered and fed back into your building electrical network.
