Train platform elevators are kept really busy in daily use but always have to operate reliably. Such an elevator needs to make up to 1,000,000 travels a year. Besides that, temperature differences between summer and winter as well as e.g. mains fluctuations when trains pass through make their demands on the drive and frequency inverter. The elevator payloads lie between 1,000 and 1,600 kg (13 - 20 passengers); the travelling speed, due to the relatively low travel distance, is seldom higher than 1.6 m/s.
Meanwhile, platform elevators are constructed as well so that the elevator machine and the frequency inverter are installed in the elevator shaft. That’s where the benefits of the compact, quiet and energy-saving ZETATOP elevator machine and the high-grade ZETADYN frequency inverter come to full fruition. Ziehl-Abegg supplies the whole world with such elevator machines: for instance, if you ride the subway in Seoul, you will be benefiting from Künzelsau technology just as in the railway stations in Holland, Belgium, Australia, Spain and in many more countries.
