Elevator Manufacturers fuji have many different designs for elevator systems, and the most easily recognizable elevator design is the design of the traction elevator. The rope is attached to the elevator car and is surrounded by a deep trench called a pulley. The pulley grips the lift cord so that when the pulley is connected to the motor, the rope also moves. When the motor makes one revolution, the pulley lifts the elevator; when the motor turns to the other direction, the pulley lowers the elevator.

When the hydraulic system relies on pushing the elevator car up and down, the rope elevator uses a rope or cable to pull the elevator car. One end of the wire rope is connected to the elevator car, and the other end is connected to the counterweight. This balance weight is approximately the same as the weight of 40% of the fully loaded elevator car. Between the car and the counterweight, the rope is wound around the pulley, that is, the pulley with the ridges holds the rope in place. The pulley is connected to an electric motor that rotates the pulley clockwise and counterclockwise.

The ropes that lift the car are also connected to the counterweight, which is suspended from the opposite side of the pulley. The weight of the counterweight is the same as the weight of a car filled with 40%. In other words, when the car is 40% full, the counterweight and the car are perfectly balanced. There is an equal load on each side of the pulley, requiring only a small force to tilt the balance in one direction and vice versa.

In the rope elevator category, there is a difference between the gear and the gearless system. The gear system includes a gear train between the motor and the pulley for controlling the gear ratio as desired. The gearless system does not use a gear train; here the motor is directly connected to the pulley.
