What’s
linear motor elevator?

© Design by Shin Takamatsu

This next-generation elevator has a linear motor directly mounted on the
elevator cage, allowing the cage to move on its own.
Since the hanging ropes previously required are no longer necessary,
multiple elevator cages can operate within one hoistway (multi-car). For
users, this improves convenience, and for owners, the reduction in the
number of hoistway increases the effective floor area, improving
profitability. Since a self-propelled elevator can move in any direction,
including vertical, horizontal, and diagonal, it can be operated not only within
a building, but also connect to nearby facilities. We aim to unitize the drive
system and establish a system that can supply it to manufacturers around
the world so that this elevator can be implemented in society.

Development

Currently, we have succeeded in developing a drive system for linear motor elevators,
and we are operating a prototype at the Uji Campus of Kyoto University.
We have also succeeded in developing an AI group management system necessary
for the realization of multi-car elevators.
Linearity’s technology is almost ready to be provided to our customers.

CEO Message

Linear motor elevators have long been a dream of many elevator engineers and architects,
not just us of Linearity. The day of realization is finally approaching.
Next-generation elevators will change the city,
bringing about major changes and enormous economic benefits.
“Creating a prosperous future with linear motor elevator technology”
We are looking for companies and individuals who can be partners in this wonderful adventure,
such as investors, industrial partners, and developers who create the next-generation architecture.
