Elevator Winch: From Geared Systems to Gearless Innovations

The elevator winch plays a key role in the mechanism of any elevator, facilitating its movement. In this article, we will dive into the world of elevator winches, explore their types and advantages, as well as delve into technological novelties that enhance their efficiency and safety.

Elevator Winch: Geared and Gearless Systems

Historically, elevators were equipped with geared winches installed in the machine rooms at the top floors of buildings. Over time, technological developments have led to the emergence of gearless winches, distinguished by their high energy efficiency and reliability due to the minimization of mechanical power losses.

Elevator Winch: Innovations Enhancing Safety and Efficiency

Among the key innovations in the field of elevator winches are the development of belt systems that provide a smoother and quieter cabin movement. This not only increases passenger comfort but also reduces component wear, decreasing the need for their maintenance.

Updating Elevator Winches: From Old Models to Modern Solutions

Old winches from factories like "Mogilevliftmash", "Karacharov Mechanical Factory", and "Scherbinsky Elevator Building Plant", as well as some new models from Turkish manufacturers "Akis" and "Eker", both geared and gearless, are often candidates for replacement. In response to these needs, our company offers professional replacement of outdated winches with cutting-edge solutions.

For updates, we use both gearless and geared winches from leading Italian brands "Montanari", "Sicor", "Gem", ensuring increased efficiency and safety of elevators. German gearless belt winches from "Ziehl-Abegg" represent a particularly cool choice, combining innovations and reliability of the latest generation.

Choosing the right elevator winch, based on the specific needs of the facility, can significantly increase not only the efficiency but also the safety of elevator operation, while ensuring optimal energy consumption.
