Elevator motors
Elevator technology from ZIEHL-ABEGG moves people around the world. Be it in apartments, offices, hotels or the world’s tallest buildings: ZIEHL-ABEGG stands for maximum reliability, safety and travel comfort. Users rightly place their trust in ZIEHL-ABEGG’s intelligent high-tech elevator machines.
ZAtopx, with state-of-the-art StPUGurt (steel and PU belt) concept combines outstandingly consistent engine power with impressively low noise levels. ZAdisc and ZAsyn impress with their extremely flat design for elevators with or without a machine room. The gearless ZAtop model series is extremely flexible and impresses with its high degree of efficiency and narrow installation width for narrow shaft dimensions.
With perfectly coordinated control technology from ZIEHL-ABEGG, we supply the complete system from a single source – whether for new construction or the modernisation of existing systems as a retrofit.
Advantages of ZIEHL-ABEGG elevator machines
Modern elevator technology from ZIEHL-ABEGG offers decisive advantages for elevator manufacturers, as the motors can be designed precisely to meet specific requirements. In combination with optimally coordinated control technology, elevators achieve a permanently high level of efficiency with Royal League motors – regardless of whether they are new systems or upgraded versions of existing systems. This results in permanent cost savings due to the high level of efficiency in ongoing operation. And the system’s green footprint also improves – without compromising on performance, reliability or safety.
With RETROFITBLUE, ZIEHL-ABEGG offers the perfect modernisation concept for converting and upgrading elevators with old disc rotor motors. Instead of original spare parts, freely available motor and control technology is used, which meets all current safety technology standards (e.g. UCM).
1. Replacement of the electronic components and installation of the modern frequency inverter ZAdyn4CS
Switch from expensive original spare parts to brand-independent components from ZIEHL-ABEGG. Our state-of-the-art blue technology, which is freely available on the market, is also suitable for replacing old first-generation disc rotor motors.
The specially developed control technology facilitates reliable, manufacturer-independent communication between the old disc rotor motor, our ZAdyn4CS frequency inverter and the new control system.
2. Replacing the old motor and installing the new ZAdisc
With the 1st stage, the underlying conditions for a quick replacement of the old motor and the installation of the new ZAdisc are already in place. The particularly flat design enables easy replacement of the old disc motor with the new ZAdisc – even with the tightest of shaft dimensions. By installing the ZAdisc and the specially developed control technology, you can achieve a permanent reduction in maintenance costs and make your elevator system fit for the future.
ZAtop
The permanent magnet synchronous, gearless internal rotor drive ZAtop was developed for traction sheave cable elevators with and without machine rooms. Motors from the ZAtop model range are available in various sizes: as a motor for a home lift as well as a motor for lifts with high speeds, a high load-bearing capacity and high travel distance. The external rotor motors offer excellent energy efficiency, low-noise running characteristics and meet all requirements of the Lift Directive 2014/33/EU.
ZAtopx
The ZAtopx elevator machine is a gearless motor for elevators with or without a machine room, which relies on a flat belt as a suspension means. As a result, the dimension s of traction shafts and deflection pulleys have been reduced to 100 mm, which makes these drives even more compact. ZAtopx is therefore the ideal basis for compact, quiet-running elevators and offers reliable ZIEHL-ABEGG quality in a small space.
ZAdisc
ZAdisc is a permanent magnet synchronous, gearless disc rotor motor for traction sheave cable elevators without a machine room. The ZAdisc elevator machine, which meets all requirements of the Lift Directive 2014/33/EU, increases the performance and travel comfort of the elevator system. Thanks to the motor's flat design and ability to be mounted to the guide rails, ZAdisc helps to achieve optimum shaft dimensions.
ZAsyn
ZAsyn is a permanent magnet synchronous, gearless external rotor drive that was specially developed for traction sheave rope elevators with and without a machine room. The motors from the ZAsyn model range offer high energy efficiency and low-noise operation and comply with the provisions of the Lift Directive 2014/33/EU. The shaft dimensions can be optimised thanks to their flat design and ability to be mounted on the wall of the elevator shaft.
Royal League control technology – for new buildings and upgrades to elevator systems
Only when the control technology is perfectly tailored to the elevator machine can the elevator machine deliver the best possible performance. The ZAdyn frequency inverter delivers maximum functionality in the smallest of spaces and enables precise speed control and regulation – for maximum driving comfort with the lowest noise emissions.
The ZArec energy recuperation unit enables energy-saving potential to be fully exploited, thus increasing efficiency and sustainability.
The EVAC 3 evacuation units ensure safe elevator evacuation in case of emergency.
