Mechanical motion passed by the command received from the drive motor control board in apartments, cabins works by moving in the desired direction. Cabinet works against common weight. The drive pulley of the steel rope moves up and down between them by means of a movement caused by friction. Car and counterweight are approximately equal weight with each other. This is why it has been saved energy. This type of drive machine called the friction-driven elevators. In addition, by winding the rope or chain on the drive pulley is available in working elevator. In this way, the employees also called drum elevator lifts.

Elevator are divided into types depending on capacity. Elevators are used in houses; 100, 180, 240, 320, 400, 630, is divided into seven species including 1000 kg. Elevators used in non-residential place; 630, 800, 1000, 1200, is divided into five species, including 1600 kg. Elevators used in health facilities; 1600, 2000, are divided into three species, including 2500 kg. According to the elevators speed of 0.63 m / sec, 1 m / s, 1.6 m / s, 2.5 m / s and 2.5 m / s are 5 types as quickly on the. These depending on the cabin lift, engine room and headroom size of the changes to the supply etmektedir.y uses engine braking system and the different power according to speed lifts in addition to these. The regulator assembly is a safety device which brakes the cabin enters in case of breakage of the elevator rope.
