Modernisation of elevators and their main components

The brain of your elevator. It processes all inputs from passengers and controls the movement of the cabin anddoors. The controller is wired to all components and the various safety circuits of the whole system.

The heart of your elevator. An electric motor that “rolls” the ropes, thereby moving the cabin.

Allows for continuous control of speed and acceleration, improving passenger comfort and reducing energy use.

Device on modern elevators that captures the energy generated by a full cabin moving downwards or an empty cabin moving upwards and feeds it back into the building‘s electrical power grid. Can be retrofitted during modernisation.

A set of ropes which transmit the movement of the traction drive to the cabin and counterweight while supporting it.

Matches the cabin weight and helps to counterbalance it.

T-shaped metal profiles fixed to the shaft, which guide the cabin and counterweight.

A speed governor activates an emergency cabin brake if it exceeds a certain speed, ensuring safe and secure travel. The safety gear must be inspected and tested regularly.

Located in the shaft pit and designed to stop a descending cabin by dissipating its kinetic energy.

The first part of the elevator doors that remain in the landing, fixed to the landing walls. Operated automatically on modern elevators or manually on older models.

Information and control panel containing control elements (buttons, key switches, etc.) and information elements (displays, light and acoustic indicators). Updating the COP can increase accessibility and comfort.

Passengers use the landing operating panel tocall the elevator. The landing indicator paneldisplays travel status and direction. An update can increase accessibility and passenger comfort.

The cabin combines the structural walls, the underfloor and roof, standard elements like mirrors and handrails, as well as decorative features like special lighting and false ceilings.

Ensures 24-hour emergency connectivity for the elevator passengers and must be compliant with all legal requirements. State-of-the-art emergency call systems connect via cellular networks to ensure its availability and prevent connection errors.

The component of the elevator doors that is attached to and moves with the cabin.

Electric motor that moves the cabin and landing doors. Upgrading to a modern door drive can increase safety, performance and reliability.

The lift shaft is usually made of concrete, masonry or a metal/glass construction. The lift rises and descends in the shaft, and all shaft components are attached to the walls. In machine room-less lifts, the drive is also located in the shaft (usually in the head, more rarely in the pit).

For many decades, machine rooms were needed to house the drive and controller. In modern elevators, compact drives are usually located in the shaft. The controller, which is also more compact, can be placed in a landing within or next to the door frame. After modernisation, the machine room can then be used for other purposes.
