A high-efficiency traction machine and advanced inverter drive controlled are expanding the potential of New ELBRIGHT
The New ELBRIGHT was developed to be the best an possible elevator, both for the buildings in which it is installed and for those who ride it. Every part of the elevator uses Toshiba’s leading technologies; from the traction machine and control system to the cars, doors, and drive system. The New ELBRIGHT will boost the value of the high-speed elevator immensely.

Compact and energy-efficiency via the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
The New ELBRIGHT employs a gearless traction machine using a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), in place of the conventional induction motor. The PMSM uses a permanent magnet with a high magnetic flux density. This allows a more compact and lightweight traction machine. Furthermore, establishing a permanent magnetic flux eliminates the need to release magnetizing current. This and other advantages pave the way for highly efficient control, which helps to save energy.

A compact slimline control panel realizes space-saving in machine room
The New ELBRIGHT’s control system use small inverter unit. It also incorporates peripheral equipment, integrated multifunctional digital line, a compact control panel device and efficiently implemented layout for a slimline control panel. The well thought-out control panel design also reduces working space for maintenance, which frees up space for the machine room.

New control systems
A high performance CPU is employed for the advanced and newly developed control system. This control system cuts the level of standby electricity required and promotes an automatic shutoff system for lighting and ventilation to further boost power savings.
