traction elevators

Traction elevators move using a system of counterweights connected to a motor via steel cables. When the motor turns, it lifts or lowers the cab smoothly by balancing the weight of the car and counterweights, reducing energy use. They are commonly used in high-rise buildings because they provide quick, efficient, and reliable vertical transportation. The motor can be located at the top of the shaft or in a machine room. Traction elevators are designed for tall buildings, offering a comfortable ride with minimal vibration and noise, making them a popular choice for modern multi-story structures.
