Elevator Machines of the fastest elevators in North America

(5-11-2015) These are the amazing gearless traction elevator machines made by ThyssenKrupp elevator which propel the fastest passenger elevators in North America at 2000 FPM. A HUGE thanks to ThyssenKrupp elevator for bringing me to see these amazing machines. This was one of the most amazing opportunities I have ever had!!

That's HUGE!!! Wow! And see all the individual fans around the machine on the right! Amazing! Glad you asked about that compressor unit, as that question was on my lips!

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

Andrew that looks amazing! That must’ve been really cool being in the machine room of the fastest elevator in North America, I can’t believe those go 2000fpm. That’s crazy! ThyssenKrupp Elevator has really outdone themselves with this set of elevators, not just the video presentation inside the elevator but the technology and all of the mechanics that go into it are just amazing!

[@geneseetrainselevators2448]

AMAZING!!! I rode those back in April, and I will NEVER forget how AWESOME it was!!! I remember you told me you got a tour here before 1WTC opened. I’m glad you finally uploaded the video!!!

[@SPUDWRENCH]

Wow impressive. I retired from TKE a few years ago and this little tour was impressive. Didn’t know TK could produce such a beautiful monster machine. 2000fpm. Incredible.

[@gunniholli2187]

Really Cool Machines with 10 m/sec. Woow what fast! Thanks for this Video...

[@davidfarrell7318]

it's good to see the workings of the elevator

[@SixSilverStones]

These elevators are epic and those motors are HUGE

[@BritishAPT]

Love world trade center. Love the design of the cabs of those ones too

[@InflatablePlane]

And with power disc brakes too? Dang!

[@matte5552]

I got to ride these (and the bizarre shuttle elevators) in June. They're so cool!

[@Paramount531]

Those disc brakes are awesome!

[@What_The_Fuck_Did_I_Just_Watch]

Wow! Those are some big motors!

[@aidenmiddleton]

Yay! It got approved

epic!!

I rode those last April!! Those machines are outstanding!! Cannot wait for the tour

Fans and Elevators with Mr. Pullchain Yep no prob 😃🙃👍🏻

[@EWPA14]

@@ECFE Nah, those are Otis. Those actually weren't the fastest before these. The fastest was the Willis Tower to the best of my knowledge.

[@qeelevators2960]

Elevating Western PA - there Thyssenkrupp, look on the machines you can see there logo.

[@EWPA14]

Jack Hartman I know these are clearly TK, but I was talking to another user who was unsure of the brand of the Empire State Bldg. That user appeared to have removed his comments though.

[@TheTheo58]

those machines are massive, smaller in size than the gear-less machines in the WTC towers 2,000 FPM very impressive. How big are the motors as to HP?

[@MadMotorman]

Really cool video. Those machines are huge. If this is 1 WTC, I’ve always been curious about the elevator machinery in such a tall building. Only time I rode elevators at the WTC was in the original 1 WTC. There was a video on here of the original machine rooms and I was amazed. This was really cool, thanks for sharing. And nice elevator parts collection you have there.

[@seanjuth]

It is 1 wtc

[@CarwashReviewsFlorida]

Do you happen to have a video of the old machine room and motors or link to, possibly?

[@SixSilverStones]

Originally, the twin towers were completely relay logic controlled and the controllers were unreal

[@EWPA14]

We all know where these are! But wow those are huge!

[@EWPA14]

Since a bunch of other people commented it, it's the new World Trade Center in NYC.

J2. Reminds me of the Jupiter 2 from the 2018 or 1960’s show!

[@user-ty9fi6rb2s]

Which vfd is installed?

[@user-ys3qh5kw3k]

How named vfd to control this traction machines?

[@BMSworldNZ]

Are the disc brakes actually used to decelerate the spool? or is that motor resistance to slow down, but discs to stop and hold?

[@marktomlinson3448]

I am surprised no one has answered this yet. All slowdown right to the final stop is controlled electronically with solid state drives. The brakes only apply after the final stop.

[@blueauraretriever]

For some reason when I speed tested one of the lifts on my phone for the down trip the number said *616* meters per minute at one point. And the speed shown on my phone at it's fastest was 627 meters per minute! AAAAAAHHHHHH! These travel a height of 394 meters at 615 meters per minute... I conducted the speed test by leaning my phone against the lift wall

[@TheTheo58]

2,000 FPM I'd expect to find a gear-less machine this huge in the glass tower 135 floors high. The motor is probably over 100 HP 480 VAC draws some serious FLA

[@johncantwell8216]

The DC drive motors for the large shuttle elevators (the biggest ones) in the original WTC were over 300 HP. The 3-phase 480V motors for the MG sets (that were later replaced by SCR drives) were 400HP.

[@marktomlinson3448]

They ARE gearless machines.

[@elevatoryodarblx5701]

where is this located

[@ilogickindess2012]

WOW

[@VancityElevators]

Now try to get into the Shanghai Tower motor room!

One world trade center?

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

No dude. These travel at 2000ft/min.

Central park tower’s elevators go 2000 FPM

[@westinghouse14]

Those things are FAST

[@Stefan_Besteman]

sheeeesh thats 10m/s or 36,5kph!! fast af

[@williamstrang2901]

TBT! Is this at the World Trade Center?

[@ilogickindess2012]

I want to see what an elevator machine room looks like

[@seanjuth]

It's a sad reality to think tha no other elevator enthusiast will ever see these again, because of the security nature of what building this is in

[@HobbyOrganist]

About 22 MPH!

Absolutely!!

[@user-zc1zq7cl5t]

Where in America are these elevators located?

[@DieselDucy]

A very tall building in NYC

[@grandyoel.k]

Which building is this and where???

[@DieselDucy]

In New York City.

[@MDAviationGamer0604]

The elevators go up to 102 so this is on the 103rd or maybe 104th floor.

[@christophelee1304]

Is this in world trade center?

[@Tigrou7777]

2000 FPM it's about 33 floors per second, that's crazy !

[@VaporheadATC]

Your math is a bit off. It's about 2-3 floors per second

[@joelpaulin6904]

10 m/s 3 floors per second

[@pony053]

So much for building security.....I'd have much rather seen the old 339s in action...VVVF is so boring compared to old DC traction. My dear deceased friend Paul at Dover showed me machines long before the KZbin Craze. I just don't have the ego.
