Abstract: A drive unit for a hoist, an elevator in particular, with a motor (6), a transmission (2), a breaking means (4) and a housing (8) is characterized in that said motor (6) and said breaking means are together arranged in said housing (8). Furthermore, at least one part of said transmission (2) can be arranged in said housing (8) as mounted or built-in transmission so that said housing (8) for the largest part also forms the transmission housing.
Abstract: A drive unit for a hoisting apparatus and, in particular, a passenger or freight elevator, has a supporting structure, a drive motor, a brake apparatus and a planet gear. The planet gear is driven by the drive motor and has a housing jacket which forms the drive stage and bears a pulley on its periphery. The planet gear is supported by the supporting structure on both sides of the pulley. As opposed to a one-sided support, this results in a favorable load distribution. The brake apparatus is provided on the driven portion of the planet gear.
