The gearless elevator machines consist of 3 main components

Types And Benefits Of Gearless Elevator Machines

• Gearless elevator machines are linear vertical
  lifts for home and commercial use. Not only is
  the Gearless Drive System an environmentally
  friendly solution, as it uses no fossil hydraulic
  oils. It also has reduced energy consumption due
  to the use of a counterweight mechanism. 
• This counterweight mechanism balances the car's
  weight and half of the load that the car can
  carry. Therefore, it uses upto 90 less energy
  than any other system. 
• The gearless elevator machines consist of 3 main
  components -
• The gearless motor
• The motor brakes
• The Overspeed Governor

• 1. The gearless motor
• Unlike other lifts that use a cheaper old-school
  gearbox motor, the gearless uses a much more
  advanced gearless motor. This means there is no
  wear and tear on gears due to friction. It
  doubles the lifespan and splashes the energy
  consumption in half. In any new lift, safety has
  the highest priority. 
• 2. The Motor-Brake
• When the lift is in regular operation and arrives
  at the desired floor, the motor is held in
  position by a double motor brake. This makes it
  impossible for the lift car to move. If the main
  power fails, the battery backup system will use
  this brake to slowly bring the car back to the
  nearest floor and open the doors.
• 3. Overspeed Governor
• If this speed exceeds the average speed of the
  lift, the device will pull the brake shoe on the
  lift car and bring it to an immediate standstill.
• As we already know, there are two types of
  elevators - - geared and gearless. The gearless
  elevator machines are gaining more attention
  among people than geared elevators. The gearless
  elevator also has more advantages than a geared
  elevator. It provides extra features with easy
  operation.

Types of Gearless Elevator Machines

• 1. Traction elevators
• This works by passing the ropes over the wheel.
  The wheel is connected to an electric motor,
  finding the elevator shaft above the motor. These
  elevators traverse more rapidly than hydraulic
  elevators. Thus, it will not require much weight
  to move from one place to another in this
  elevator.
• 2. Geared Traction Elevators
• In this type, you can find a gearbox that is
  fixed to the motor. The motor will help the rope
  to move where the rope is attached to the wheel.
  It drifts so fast, like 500 ft per minute.
• 3. Gearless Traction Elevator
• In this type of elevator, you can find the wheel
  next to the motor that is being attached. This
  Gearless traction elevator can travel faster than
  geared traction elevator for 2000 ft per minute.
  Thus, the gearless traction elevator is the best
  among all other elevators because of its fastness
  and reliability.

Components of Gearless Elevator Machines

• 1. Headroom A portion of the shaft between the
  top floor and the shaft's ceiling. Headroom is
  otherwise known as Overhead.
• 2. Travel The length of the cabin's travel
  between the level of the lowest and the highest
  stop.
• 3. Pit A part of the shaft below the level of
  the lowest stop.
• 4. Machine room The machine room is otherwise
  known as the lift room. It appears to be on the
  top floor above the shaft. The integral component
  of the elevator is the drive unit, Motor, Control
  Panel. With the advancement of technology, the
  machine room is getting smaller and smaller. Some
  elevators like Machine room fewer elevators
  install the machine room in the shaft itself.
• 5. Guide rails These are generally made up of
  steel. And it is in the shape of T. These are
  placed vertically between the shaft to guide and
  direct the travel of an elevator car and elevator
  counterweights.

• 6. Drive Unit The drive unit is placed in the
  machine room. It is used to regulate the Speed,
  Torque, and Movement of an elevator. If your
  elevator often suffers from slow starts and stops
  or seems to make sharp, sudden jerks, then the
  drive could be to blame.
• 7. Control unit It is also known as a controller
  or control panel. The control unit is placed at
  the machine room top of the elevator shaft. When
  we press any button in the lift, it goes to the
  control unit, and then it is transferred through
  the system to tell the motor whether to move up
  or down. 
• Once the elevator has reached its destination,
  there's a signal sent to the control room to
  either stop and let the passenger board or exit
  it.
• 8. Counterweight The unit consists of steel
  weights that counterbalance the car's weight and
  the attached suspension ropes. Counterweight
  makes it easier for the motor to raise and lower
  the car.
• For example, if you are sitting in a seesaw. The
  seesaw is correctly balanced so that you can go
  up and down, any number of times without ever
  really getting tired, which is different from
  lifting someone in your arms that tires you
  faster. Hence, the motor needs to use much less
  force to move the car either up or down.
• Suppose the lift is filled with a total capacity
  which means it takes more than the counterweight,
  but in this case, the motor has to lift the
  difference in weight between the two and supply a
  bit of extra force to overcome friction in the
  pulleys. Since less force is involved, there is
  less strain on the cables, making the elevators a
  little safer.
• 9. Guide shoes Guide shoes are the devices that
  are used to guide the car and counterweight along
  the path of the guide rails. There are two types
  of guide shoes such as roller guides and sliding
  guides.
• The roller guides use rollers that rotate on
  guide rails. It has a set of three wheels that
  roll against the guide rails. Guide shoes slide
  along the faces of the rails. The sliding insert
  may be metal requiring guide rails to be
  lubricated or maybe self-lubricating plastic
  material.

Benefits of Gearless Elevator Machines

• These are several significant benefits of
  choosing gearless elevator machines. Few of them
  include
• Small in size
• 40 less power consumption
• Lightweight
• Zero maintenance

Conclusion

• Do you know why the lift is often called a Car?
  It is because the lift also does the same work as
  the car does. The car also has less capacity, and
  the lift can also allow only limited members.
  Thus, lift and car both help us to travel from
  one place to another.
