Concept of screw elevator

Screw elevators are elevators that operate based on screw technology. That is, using large sized screws, convenient gears so that when rotating the screw, it will push the cabin up or down . with many advantages such as no need for counterweights, optimizing space for the cabin, durable against temperature changes, environmentally friendly, low maintenance, bringing high operating efficiency, smooth and quiet, safe for users when used. In particular, screw elevators do not need to install a machine room, do not need a large pit area and are highly aesthetic. Thanks to these many superior features, screw family elevators are currently being chosen by many homeowners to install for houses with limited height and houses with limited area.

With many advantages mentioned above, however, screw elevators still have 2 disadvantages as follows:

  1. Low speed screw elevator
  2. Screw elevators are limited in height.
  3. Screw elevators are quite expensive.

Operating principle and structure of screw elevator

Regarding the structure: The motor system connects with the gears to transmit motion to the screw system, drive bolts, safety bolts, cylinder lubricating oil, belts (belts) to create the movement of pulling the elevator floor up and down. In addition to the above components, the screw elevator also has components such as the Ecosilent transmission system, glass wall frame system, floor call control panel system. helping the elevator operate smoothly and safely. Thanks to the simple but effective operating principle and structure, the screw elevator will save more space than traditional elevators.

  1. Belt: Is a special structural part of the elevator, has a long, black and continuous shape. The electric motor is connected to the bolt through the belt attached to the operation when the motor and screw of the elevator operate. The belt acts to create a circular motion, helping the elevator to operate continuously, durably and safely.
  2. Electromechanical system: Is the main engine of the elevator, the brain that helps the elevator operate smoothly, and determines the operation of the elevator.
  3. Safety brake system: has the function of protecting the safety of users when using the elevator.
  4. Elevator floor or cabin: The elevator moves up and down in the direction of rotation of the gear system based on the combination of the components that make up the elevator: the motor system, the screw system and the belt.
  5. Some other parts such as: Ecosilent drive system (a technology that provides smooth and highly stable operation for elevators), control panel, glass wall system, etc. also play an indispensable important role in the operation of screw elevators.
  6. Screw elevator also has safety braking system. Touch sensor system, obstacle sensor system, perfect communication system between elevator cabin and outside.

In principle: The operating principle of a screw elevator is that the gears of a vertical shaft mesh with the gears of the motor. When the motor rotates, the screw shaft will rotate. The cabin system also has gears that mesh with the screw shaft. Depending on the rotation, the screw shaft will push the cabin up and down in the direction of the motor. This system is very safe because of the gears' meshing. The cabin will not slide like a cable elevator. Thereby reducing complex mechanisms during operation. Helps the screw elevator always operate smoothly and safely.

With that principle, the Nidec Sankyo screw family elevator is extremely safe, minimizing incidents. At the same time, with the exclusive invention of the Eco Silent transmission system, the Cibes family elevator makes almost no noise when operating, more environmentally friendly than ever when reducing up to 35% of power consumption compared to other conventional elevators. This is the most modern passenger elevator technology, bringing optimal efficiency compared to other types of elevators.

Advantages and disadvantages of screw elevators

Screw elevators are the latest and most modern technology product line in 2024. With perfect structure and operating principles, screw elevators have many outstanding advantages, and are the top choice for customers in the elevator market in the US and Europe. Some of the advantages include:

  1. Screw elevator enhances safety: It is the assurance of strong, sturdy spirals of the screw shaft so that the product operates smoothly and stably, avoiding incidents.
  2. Suitable for many spaces: Screw elevators are products designed with a typical usable space of only 0.9m2 . This allows screw elevators to be suitable for many modern constructions, especially family constructions with small areas and spaces.
  3. Easy installation and maintenance: Screw elevators have small pits, or no need to build a shaft, no need for a machine room, so installation will take less time.
  4. Suitable for renovated houses: With advantages such as smart design, smallest clear dimension of only 1m, optimizing up to 80% of usable space, no need for machine room, no pit or very shallow pit, screw elevator can be installed, suitable for every house.
  5. Houses with limited top floor height: Screw elevators do not need a machine room, so they are very suitable for families with limited height, and at the same time help homeowners save on elevator costs.
  6. Long maintenance time, normally you only need to maintain 2 - 4 times / year.
  7. Install safety brakes above the control panel and around the four edges of the elevator floor.
  8. Equipped with emergency door open/close switch.

Disadvantages

  • Low average speed so not suitable for high-rise buildings
  • The price is higher than joint venture elevators because they are imported completely.
  • High cost of replacement parts due to having to import parts
  • Maintenance costs depend on the manufacturer. Currently, there are not many screw elevator manufacturers, so customers will have less choice.
