Elevator moderanization is the process of upgrading the critical parts of the elevator in order for it
to be able to handle new technology, have better performance, improve safety and even give the
aesthetics an up-to-date appeal.
Modernization will affect the controller equipment, electrical wiring and buttons of the cab. Even the
tracks of the doors, the hoist machines and motors are sometimes modified and changed to keep the
elevator up-to-date.
Geared Elevator modernization saves your time, costs and energy. ANI replace your Direct current hoist motor to Alternating current while reusing and cleaning your existing machine which includes sheaves, gears, and bedplates. We can improve the authenticity and performance of your existing geared traction lift.
A gearless elevator serves to build of any given height with speeds typically between 150 and 2000 feet
per minute. The lift ropes pass over a traction drive sheaves, which is essential with the armature on
the gearless machine. Another type of buffer is oil buffer which more commonly found on traction
elevators with speeds higher than 200 feet per minute.
Direct Current type of gearless machines has been there in the market for over hundred years and is very
strong. If properly maintained, they will last long up to many years and replacement is usually
warranted if the part’s elimination is a threat for continued use. While considering a modernization we
normally hold these machines and repair them. Restoration can incorporate commuters being turned an
undercut, brush holders replaced, coils tested and dressed, bearing replaced, brakes cleaned.
The AC form of gearless machines is a newer technology that has been installed recently in the USA. The
use of gearless machine has risen up recently due to its popularity since 2007. These are lighter AC
machines in comparison to large DC brothers and with time you will come to know whether they will be
strong. It is likely that these will be replaced while considering modernization of MRL elevators.
There are situations when the current gearless DC machine needs to be changed by a new AC gearless
machine. It is supported by a new drive system and needs refurbishment of the elevator. In few cases,
this modernization lets the use of a smaller machine, while maintaining the excellent performance and
high speeds of a gearless application.
