The world's fastest elevators
1,010meters a minute
The world's fastest elevators
TAIPEI 101 in Taiwan is the world's tallest building, towering 101 stories above ground and 508 meters in height. We developed ultrahigh speed elevators, it zoom up from the 1st to the 89th floor observation deck. The speed is 1,010meters a minute (60 kilometers an hour)! These are the world's fastest elevators. This elevator introduced various new technology for high speed performance, keeping comfortable and safety ride. The big panorama from this tallest building fascinates people. Guinness World Record authorizes this elevator as "the world's fastest".
Adjustment floor-height by ball-screw Double-deck Elevator
Doubling carrying capacity with a two-story cage
Adjustment floor-height by ball-screw Double-deck Elevator
Elevators are the arteries of buildings, people their life-blood. Our high-speed, double-deck elevator is the mass transport solution, the means to keep people moving through highrise buildings, while also minimizing space used and enhancing operating efficiency. This elevator has been installed in the Shanghai World Financial Center.
Out door type observation elevator
The first in Japan and the world's fastest
Out door type observation elevator
We developed a out door type observation elevator for high rise building, first in Japan, and delivered to Izumi Garden Tower (Tokyo, Roppongi). The out door type observation elevator has a structure that the cage overhangs from a wall. That makes people feel like floating in air, and makes a view beautiful. The speed is 360m a minute, it is the world's fastest in out door type observation elevators. We developed a new system for a measure of wind and rain. Operation systems deal promptly with an environmental change, such as slowdown in case of strong-wind and stop in thunder approaching.
The world's first magnet suspension for elevators
Greater riding comfort for high-speed elevators thanks to MagSus
the world's first magnet suspension for elevators
The riding comfort of high-speed elevators has now been significantly improved, thanks to magnetic buoyancy. We developed the world's first magnet suspension for elevators, MagSus, in 2006. The technology used for MagSus will enhance the riding comfort of elevators greatly compared with existing technology, because MagSus elevators are run without contact between cage and guide rail, just like a linear motor car. At present we are conducting validation trials with a view to a launch of products in 2009 or later, equipped with the new technology.
