Abstract
A gearless drive machine for elevators has a machine frame on which are mounted a counter roller carrier, a bearing block and an end plate block. The elevator cable strand spacing can be adjusted by a counter roller coupled to the counter roller carrier, whereby both a left-hand and right-hand overhang of the counter roller is possible with the same construction of the machine frame. A main shaft is supported at two places at a drive output end by a moveable bearing mounted in the bearing block and a fixed bearing mounted in the end plate block. A drive pulley having brake disc is located between the bearings and is coupled to the main shaft by a first detachable coupling. The support of the drive pulley on both sides thereof allows great radial loads with only small deformations of the main shaft. A hoist motor supplied with alternating voltage has a stator with windings and a rotor with a rotor hub slidable onto the main shaft. A second detachable coupling at the driven end of the main shaft provides a firm connection between the main shaft and the rotor hub.
