What are the Advantages of Screw-Driven Lifts?
The Screw and nut drive system was originally developed in Sweden for use in public places such as museums, railway stations, schools and shops. Screw and nut drive lifts operate on a straightforward mechanism. The lift car (or platform) is connected to a drive nut, and when a control button is pressed, the motor rotates this nut in the desired direction. Rotating the drive nut one way moves the lift car upward, while turning it the opposite way brings it down.
Benefits of Screw and Nut Driven Lifts
There are numerous benefits of the screw and nut solution. First of all it is extremely safe, robust and reliable. Secondly it is very space efficient and the solutions as a whole is very compact thus require little space and limited building work. The SWIFT EcoDrive is also very silent and provides a smooth ride. In comparison to conventional elevators a screw and nut drive system requires little or no maintenance. So, in short the advantages of screw driven lifts are:
- It is Extremly Safe and Secure.
- It Require little space and Building work for Installation.
- Screw driven lifts does not make noise, it provide a smooth ride.
- Very Little Maintenance is required.
The maximum speed of 0,15 m/s to 0.3 m/s (outside Europe) is optimal for buildings with just a few floors. If your house has more than 6 floors, and you still want to install a home lift, we recommend other solutions than screw and nut.
