ELEVATOR, PARTICULARLY FOR TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS

摘要

Disclosed in an elevator, particularly for transporting passengers, having an elevator shaft (10), an elevator car (20) guided in the elevator shaft (10) and a drive motor (30) directly driving the elevator car (20). The drive motor is provided with an active primary part (40) arranged in the elevator car (20) and a passive secondary part (50) that is arranged in a stationary manner in the elevator shaft (10) and is spaced from said primary part (40) by an air gap. In order to achieve a high power capability of such an elevator that is comparable to that of the driving motor (30) which drives the elevator car (20), the drive motor (30) is configured as a transverse flux motor that moves the primary part (40) linearly relative to the secondary part (50) under the influence of an electromagnetic propulsive force (FV). The secondary part (50) has at least one rail (51) made of a soft magnetic material, said rail being subdivided into a plurality of segments (52) having a predetermined length (I). The segments (52) are fixed to a wall (12) of the elevator shaft (10) by means of intermediate elements (71).
