The difference between an elevator tractor and a traction machine
In the elevator industry, the terms "traction machine" and "traction machine" usually refer to the same type of equipment, i.e., the key components used to lift and lower the elevator cabin. There is no essential difference between them, just that different terms may be used in different regions or industries.
However, in some specific contexts, a distinction may be made between the two terms:
Traction machine: In some regions or industries, especially in the standards or specifications of some countries, the term "traction machine" may be used to describe the drive equipment in an elevator. This term may be more commonly found in some engineering or technical documents.
Hoisting machine: In other regions or industries, especially in the product documentation of some elevator manufacturers or merchants, the term "hoisting machine" may be used to describe the same equipment. This term may be more commonly used in some business or marketing promotions.
In general, traction machine and traction machine both refer to the drive device used for elevator lifting and lowering, and there is no essential difference in their function and principle, but there may be some regional or industry differences in terminology.
