Product Overview Rotary Encoders for the Elevator Industry October 2007 Rotary Encoders for the Elevator Industry Demands on elevator technology have risen consistently in the past years: Not only are faster speeds and greater conveyor heights being demanded, but also compact designs and low operating costs. But of course pas- senger comfort must not suffer. Smooth starting and continuous acceleration are as much a prerequisite for a comfortable ride without unpleasant loads as are gentle braking and exact approach of the target position. The drive control plays an important role in this. Drive technology has changed sig- nifi cantly in recent years due to these de- mands. The trend continues toward gear- less drive machines, which offer a series of economical and environmental advantages: • Elevator systems with little vibration or noise • Reduced spatial requirements permit machine-roomless (MRL) elevators • Comfortable ride properties • Low energy consumption • Free of maintenance and oil Because of the greater power density, per- manent-magnet synchronous motors are often used. Depending on the control strat- egy, these types of motors require abso- lute position information for correctly con- trolling the rotor position. This position information can be supplied by an absolute rotary encoder or an incremental rotary en- coder with commutation signals, for exam- ple. In addition, these demanding drive strate- gies mostly require high-resolution rotary encoders, which are integrated as position encoders in the control loop in order to as- certain the actual velocity. In order to fulfi ll the great expectations re- garding functionality and reliability, and also to make a suitable and well though-out sys- tem integration possible, rotary encoders used in elevator technology must also fea- ture very specifi c properties. This applies to the other fi elds of application for rotary en- coders in elevator tec
