hydraulic elevators
Hydraulic elevators use a fluid-filled piston system to move the elevator cab between floors. When the motor activates, it pumps hydraulic fluid into a cylinder, creating pressure that pushes the piston upward, lifting the elevator. To lower, the fluid is released through a valve, allowing the piston to descend smoothly. This system is controlled by valves and pumps, and the number of cylinders can vary. Hydraulic elevators are typically used in buildings with fewer floors, offering a quiet, stable ride and simple installation compared to other elevator types.
