Elevators & lifts. Smooth from floor to floor.
Low-inertia motors that accelerate and stop quickly and smoothly.
Background: representative footage
The duty
Fast acceleration, gentle stops.
Elevator motors are designed for rapid acceleration and retardation, so the inertia of their moving parts is kept as low as possible.
EMPD supplies complete motor solutions for elevators and lifts to each OEM's specification.
Applications
What the duty demands
- Low rotor inertia for smooth stops
- Dual speed or VVVF drive
- Quiet running
