Permanent-magnet gearless
Direct drive raises transmission efficiency by 20–30% and saves more than 30% energy. No gearbox means no gear wear or oil changes, lowering maintenance cost.
Technology & safety
What goes into an FTS lift.
Energy-saving drives, digital door control, multi-layer safety and remote monitoring — the technology behind the elevators we supply, install and maintain.
01Drive
Energy-saving traction machines
Steel-belt traction
Small sheaves and a slim machine reduce shaft area and suit low pits, no-pit and minimum-overhead MRL designs. The coated belt needs no oiling, runs quieter and doesn't wear the traction wheel.
Disc-type machine
Compact, with built-in permanent magnets, 33% fewer bearings and no gearbox, for continuous smooth running. Disc brake with good heat dissipation; laser-quenched sheave grooves; 9.5 mm magnets resist demagnetization.
02Doors, control & lighting
Smooth, safe everyday operation
VVVF permanent-magnet door operator
A self-adapting VVVF door system with fully digital microcomputer control: faster door response with safe, smooth movement.
10.4-inch touchscreen
High-resolution colour screen combining floor selection, floor display and one-touch rescue input; the display can be customized.
- LED lighting Car lighting accounts for about 40% of a lift's electricity. LED uses half the power of fluorescent lamps and one-eighth of filament lamps, starts instantly and lasts over 50,000 hours.
- Light-curtain door protection A dense infrared screen along the car door reopens the door the instant it is interrupted. Options: wireless (no cable to break), segmented (easy repair), 8-way (keeps working with faulty spots) and two-in-one (double protection).
03Safety
Three layers of rescue — plus early warning
Intelligent automatic rescue
A dedicated automatic rescue function returns the car to a floor and opens the doors if a fault stops the lift.
Power-failure rescue (ARD)
If mains power fails, a backup supply drives the car to the nearest landing and releases passengers. Lithium batteries, generally maintenance-free, about eight years' life, with NTC temperature monitoring.
One-key emergency call
If automatic rescue cannot operate, one key in the car calls family members or rescue staff; with IoT networking, calls connect to outside telephones.
Fire alert
A smoke detector comes as standard: when smoke is sensed the lift stops and will not restart, protecting passengers.
