ThyssenKrupp’s Geared to Gearless system upgrades existing geared elevators with gearless technology, providing increased energy efficiency and improved ride quality.
In summary, modernization can result in a 56% reduction in elevator electricity consumption, an 86% energy improvement with use of LEDs over traditional lighting, a 39% improvement in power factor, and a 42% ride-quality improvement. It also includes a regenerative drive that captures waste energy and feeds it back into the building’s power grid.
