Traction Method Driving System
The typical drive system for a rope type elevator has the car connected to a counterweight by a rope and pulley, and traction between the traction sheave and rope is used to pull the car up and down.
Through the development of the Compact Traction Machine and Compact Control Panel, the machine room area has been cut to that of the hoistway, depending on conditions,whereas previously the machine room required an area twice as large as that of the hoistway.
