Ziehl-Abegg Geared Drive System Geared Elevator Drive System

Ziehl-Abegg Geared Drive System is a professional Geared Elevator Drive System for elevator contractors, lift package suppliers and modernization projects that require dependable German drive technology. The Geared Drive Systems range is engineered for traction sheave elevators requiring geared drive architecture, combining compact installation, efficient motor operation and controlled braking performance. This model is suitable for new lift installations and technically demanding replacement projects where ride comfort, shaft space and long-term reliability are important. For Nazar Elevator projects, it can be specified together with compatible control panels, inverter configuration, suspension design and traction sheave selection according to the final elevator calculation. Final load, speed, rope data, encoder configuration and brake voltage must always be confirmed with the official Ziehl-Abegg data sheet and project calculation.

What is a geared traction machine?

The Ziehl-Abegg Geared Drive System is a geared elevator traction machine. A geared machine drives the sheave through a worm or helical gearbox, which multiplies torque and allows a smaller, lower-cost motor to move the same load.

Geared machines are typically specified for machine room (MR) elevator systems at low to medium speeds, and for freight and goods lifts where high starting torque matters more than energy efficiency. Nazar Elevator supplies the Ziehl-Abegg Geared Drive System to elevator contractors and distributors worldwide.
