Abstract:
An elevator system includes a hoistway; an elevator car to travel in the hoistway; permanent magnets mounted to one of the elevator car and the hoistway; and a stator mounted to the other of the elevator car and the hoistway, the stator including windings coacting with the permanent magnets to control motion of the elevator car in the hoistway, the stator having a stator core supporting the windings, the stator core being electrically non-conductive.
Abstract:
An elevator system includes an elevator car having an elevator car subsystem; a guide rail to guide the elevator car along a hoistway; primary windings positioned along the hoistway; permanent magnets coupled to the elevator car, the primary windings and permanent magnets defining a linear motor for imparting motion to the elevator car in response to a drive signal; and secondary windings coupled to the elevator car, the secondary windings generating a current to power the elevator car subsystem.
