Traction Machine Designed and Manufactured by Toshiba

• Toshiba has manufactured motors for over 100 years since 1895. The motors produced by Toshiba promise better quality assurance and quality control.
• Compact PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) for space saving.
• Over 30% less power consumption (compared to conventional electric motor).
• Gearless traction without gear oil for low vibration, low noise and better environmental conservation.

Use of Roller Guide

A roller guide is used instead of a conventional sliding guide shoe. Features include:

• Comfort: Using the successful vibration damping solution from the high-end elevator type, riding comfort is further improved after roller guide is mounted on the car.
• High efficiency: Visible improvement of the mechanical efficiency with lower friction and energy consumption.
• Environmental conservation: Lubrication oil and lubrication unit are eliminated and replaced by a long-life rubber roller to reduce environmental pollution.

New Control Systems

A high performance CPU is employed for advanced newly developed control system. This control system enables to reduce standby electricity, automatic shutoff system for lightings and ventilation to contribute furthermore reduction of electricity.

Energy Regeneration SystemOPTIONAL

An energy regeneration devices feeds energy back to the power grid while the traction machine is under power generation to achieve high-eciency energy utilization, which results in over 38% energy conservation (with the assumption of 1050kg, 1.75m/s, 12-hour operation per day, 25 days per month).
