Unique Flat Belt:

It is just 3 mm thick. Yet it is stronger than conventional steel cables. It lasts up to three times longer. And it has enabled Otis to completely re-invent the elevator.

The flat, coated-steel belt eliminates the metal-to-metal effect of conventional systems. Coupled with a smooth-surface crowned machine sheave, the result is exceptionally quiet operation and superior ride comfort.

Furthermore, the flexible flat belt enables a more compact, energy-efficient machine, which can be contained in the hoistway. This reduces building and system operating costs, and frees up valuable space.

PM Gearless Machine

The belt and the gearless machine, with its permanently sealed bearings, do not require any additional lubrication so the Gen2 system is cleaner for the environment. The highly efficient gearless machine with its permanent-magnet synchronous motor reduces power consumption by as much as 50 percent compared to conventional geared machines.

High Profile Aethetics
Long-lasting flat belts, smooth, crowned sheaves and minimal moving parts in the gearless machine dramatically reduce wear and increase durability and efficiency. To further enhance reliability and safety, Otis developed the Pulse™ system, which continually monitors the status of the belts’ steel cords. Unlike visual inspections of conventional steel ropes, the Pulse system automatically detects and reports belt faults to maintenance personnel for rapid response, providing owners with greater peace of mind.
