ATEK Drive Solutions stands for tailored system solutions surrounding safety-relevant brakes in passenger transport – focusing on high-performance, durable, and project-ready documented elevator brakes. Whether new construction, modernization, or retrofit: we not only deliver individual components but complete, application-specific braking solutions – from the first idea through specification, design, and implementation to installation support, commissioning assistance, and maintenance and service concepts. This way, operators, manufacturers, and planners receive a solution “from a single source” that is technically well specified and can be reliably integrated into your elevator system. Special requirements in elevator systems – such as high safety requirements, limited installation space, defined retardation values, noise and comfort criteria, as well as high availability – are consistently considered in design, material selection, and surface protection. Depending on the use case, we implement suitable variants in terms of braking torque, ventilation concept, fail-safety, and interfaces. The result: a braking solution that not only meets standards and specifications but also impresses in daily operations through reliability, ease of maintenance, and predictable downtimes.
ATEK brake solutions for elevators are designed to control deceleration, maintain conditions safely, and, if necessary, secure them reproducibly. This creates defined, traceable operating conditions for normal operations, maintenance, and emergency situations – supporting the safety strategy of the entire system consisting of drive, control, and mechanics. Depending on the system design, the system can be configured modularly – for example, as a service brake, holding brake, or as a safety function in conjunction with monitoring and control. The brakes are typically complemented by appropriate actuation (electric/electromechanical), defined feedback and monitoring functions, as well as a strong mechanical integration. This allows for both economical standard solutions and demanding customized versions tailored to load case, installation space, ride comfort, and maintenance processes.
ATEK Drive Solutions supports you from design and calculation to complete project documentation of your elevator brake solution. On request, we provide testable documentation, defined interface descriptions, as well as evidence and tests for risk minimization before installation. Acceptance and testing can be structured to stabilize project timelines and make commissioning more predictable.
Different integration and service options are possible in execution, such as corrosion-resistant materials and surfaces, compact designs for limited installation space, braking torques up to 150,000 Nm, condition monitoring, and feedback signals (e.g., ventilation/switching states) as well as maintenance-friendly designs. For a quick technical clarification, it is sufficient to send us nominal load, speed, drive concept, installation space, desired braking and holding torques, ambient influences, and relevant standard/project specifications – we will promptly provide a structured proposal for the appropriate brake configuration.
