Abstract: Disclosed is a stationary mechanical brake system providing safe and reliable braking for linear motor elevators. The stationary mechanical brake system is also used by single-car or multi-car linear motor elevators operating on linear, curved, or branching trajectories.

Abstract: A rotary power transfer system for a linear motor elevator having at least one rotor with magnetic poles facing the stator coils and attached to the elevator cabin, at least one generator or secondary coil set connected to the rotor, and an excitation algorithm providing traveling excitation current to the sections of the linear motor stator facing the rotor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanical brake operator system suitable for linear motor elevators providing low-cost and reliable braking without the need of power transmission for rope-less linear motor elevators. The mechanical brake operator system is also used by single-car or multi-car linear motor elevators operating on linear, curved, or branching trajectories.

Abstract: The moving magnet type linear motor according to the present invention comprises a stator comprising a plurality of coils arranged in a single direction and having a both ends support structure supporting both ends of the stator in a direction perpendicular to said single direction, a pair of movers comprising a plurality of permanent magnets arranged opposing the sides of the stator respectively and capable of relative movement in said single direction with respect to each other, and guidance mechanisms guiding both the movers independently and movably in said single direction, and one of the movers is connected to a load.
