Monarch NICE 1000 + (Gearless MRL) (Geared close loop with Encoder)
The gearless MRL variant of the NICE 1000+ offers a space-efficient solution that eliminates the need for a traditional machine room. This configuration utilizes a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) that is directly coupled to the traction sheave, providing smooth and energy-efficient operation. The gearless design significantly reduces mechanical losses and noise levels while delivering superior ride quality. The machine room-less architecture allows for greater building design flexibility, as the compact traction machine can be installed within the hoistway itself, typically at the top of the shaft. This configuration is ideal for modern buildings where space optimization is crucial, and it offers reduced energy consumption compared to traditional geared systems. The gearless MRL system provides excellent acceleration and deceleration characteristics, making it particularly suitable for mid to high-rise buildings where performance and efficiency are paramount.
