Ziehl-Abegg ZAtop SM132/A Gearless Elevator Traction Machine

Ziehl-Abegg ZAtop SM132/A is a professional Gearless Elevator Traction Machine for elevator contractors, lift package suppliers and modernization projects that require dependable German drive technology. The ZAtop range is engineered for compact home lift and low/medium-rise MRL applications, 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 gearless traction machine?

The Ziehl-Abegg ZAtop SM132/A is a gearless elevator traction machine. A gearless machine couples a permanent-magnet motor directly to the drive sheave, with no gearbox between them — which removes the largest source of energy loss, gear oil maintenance and mechanical noise found in geared systems.

Gearless machines are the standard choice for machine roomless (MRL) elevators and for installations where quiet running and low energy consumption are specified. Nazar Elevator supplies the Ziehl-Abegg ZAtop SM132/A to elevator contractors and distributors worldwide.
