Traction elevators are driven by an electric motor that is connected to a series of cables and sheaves. These cables move around the sheave and are connected to the elevator cab and counterweight frame therefore creating vertical movement of the cab. This elevator's complex machinery allows it to travel at high speeds. It also extends its use to mid and high-rise buildings.
Geared traction elevators are powered by a gearbox connected to the motor. The gearbox causes the cables and sheave to move. This type is mainly limited by speed.
For this application the motor and sheave are not physically connected. The sheave which acts as the rotor rotates around the stator in which electromagnetic fields are generated creating rotational movement. As a result, it has a much higher speed capability than geared elevators, enabling it to serve high-rise structures. Although they are more expensive to install, gearless elevators employ less energy in the long-run.
