Machine Room Less Elevators

Machine room less elevators With AOYAMA ELEVATOR machine room less (MRL) elevators there is no need for a machine room at the top of the building, which enables more possibilities for the design of modern buildings. With state of the art concepts, R&D achievements and mature control systems, AOYAMA ELEVATOR introduces advanced technology in the industry, providing optimal carriers for modern buildings.

Machine room less elevators do not have a fixed machine room on the top of the hoistway, instead the traction hoisting machine is installed either on the top side wall of the hoistway or on the bottom of the hoistway. The motor is installed using a permanent magnet which "sticks" the motor permanently and work with Variable Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF) drive. Some of the hoisting machines are using gearless synchronous motors instead conventional induction motors. This design eliminates the need of a fixed machine room and thus saves much building's space. Almost all the traction MRL elevators are gearless traction.

BenefitsMachine room-less passenger elevator

  • Saves building space, as it doesn't require space for a machine room.
  • Saves building electricity for up to 70%.
  • Uses no oil (thus eliminating the risk of fire).
  • Slightly lower cost than other types of elevators (because the Variable Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF) drive)
