A synchronous geared traction machine is an electric motor that uses synchronous motors and gear mechanisms to provide traction for elevators. The motor has a permanent magnet rotor that rotates at the same speed as the AC power supply. The stator, on the other hand, is a three-phase winding assembly that creates a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the permanent magnet rotor to produce torque. The traction machine is connected to the elevator car via a hoisting rope, which provides the mechanical force needed to move the car. A gear mechanism converts the rotary motion into linear motion, which moves the elevator up or down.
High Efficiency: Synchronous geared traction machines are known for their high energy efficiency as they can regenerate energy during operation, which can be fed back into the power grid. This feature helps to reduce energy consumption and saves costs.
Smooth and Quiet Operation: Traction machines are designed to be smooth and quiet during operation. They use gear mechanisms to convert rotary motion into linear motion, which reduces vibrations and noise.
Suitable for High-Rise Buildings: Synchronous geared traction machines are ideal for high-rise buildings as they have the ability to achieve high speeds. They are also compact and have a relatively simple design, making them easy to install and maintain even in limited spaces.
