Fluid Pressure Generation: A hydraulic pump, driven by an electric motor, pressurizes hydraulic oil (or fluid) and sends it through a network of pipes to the elevator cylinder.
Cylinder Activation: The pressurized fluid enters the hydraulic cylinder, which consists of a hollow cylinder and a piston. As fluid fills the cylinder, it pushes against the piston, creating upward force.
Lifting Motion: The piston is connected to the elevator car via a piston rod or cable system. As the piston rises, it lifts the car smoothly along its guide rails.
Lowering Control: To lower the car, a valve releases pressure from the cylinder, allowing the fluid to flow back into a reservoir. The car descends at a controlled rate, either by gravity or regulated fluid release, ensuring safety and precision.
Space Efficiency: Customized hydraulic cylinders can be designed to fit compact or irregular spaces, such as low-rise buildings, warehouses, or retrofitted structures. Without the need for a machine room or overhead sheaves, they maximize usable floor space.
High Weight Capacity: Hydraulic systems excel at handling heavy loads. Custom cylinder sizes and pressure ratings allow them to accommodate freight elevators, medical lifts, or industrial platforms with capacities ranging from a few hundred to several thousand pounds.
Smooth, Quiet Operation: The fluid-based mechanism reduces vibrations and noise compared to traction systems, making them ideal for environments where comfort (e.g., residential buildings, hospitals) is a priority.
Cost-Effective Installation & Maintenance: Custom designs minimize unnecessary components, lowering initial installation costs. Additionally, hydraulic systems have fewer moving parts than traction systems, reducing long-term maintenance needs and downtime.
Flexibility in Design: From adjustable speed settings to specialized mounting configurations, customized hydraulic systems adapt to unique project demands—whether for outdoor use, corrosive environments, or precise height requirements.
