Key Differences Between Hydraulic and Traction Elevators
There is always a kind of argument going on between those favouring traction elevators and those in the favour of hydraulic elevators. Both these options are better in several terms, but since there is always another side of the coin; both these versions have their share of cons or disadvantages as well. Here in this post, we will study the both sides of these two versions to eventually find out as to which one is the better one of the two. TRACTION ELEVATORS- One of the biggest differences between hydraulic and traction elevators is in the way in which the cab travels. In the traction elevators, the cab can be raised or lowered by the help of steel ropes or belts that run on the pulley system. Because of this system, this version uses less energy, can serve mid to high-rise buildings and moreover, they even ride smoother. One more point is that because of these mechanisms, the motor doesn’t have to move as much weight, making it much more energy efficient than hydraulic sys...
