No machine room means the elevator uses less space and energy.
Space-Saving Elevator :
OUX has achieved “Machine room-less-ness” and reduced the total required floor space below that required by conventional traction, which means the saved space can be used effectively.
Energy-Saving Elevator :
OUX adopted a gear-less traction machine to reduce the capacity required of the motor and other electrical equipment.
OUX built-in mechanism that makes an elevator machine room unnecessary :
Comparison with Conventional Traction Elevator :
Floor space reduced by 35%

Greater ability to utilize the roof :
Not requiring a machine room allows the roof floor to be used more effectively.
Reduce loading on upper hoistway structure :
Since a machine room is not required, the basic structure loading force is reduced. This improves design conditions and flexibility.
