The needs of the computer room


The main difference between a geared elevator and a gearless elevator is that’s a machine room. In the case of the geared elevator, the wheel and the electric motor have to place in a machine room which stays above the elevator shaft. But as the wheel will be directly attached to the motor and cabin, there is no importance for the machine room at the gearless elevator. This is the main reason, the gearless elevator is also known as a machine room-less elevator. The computer room is mainly placed above the elevator shaft and it will be considered during the design of the building.
