According to national standards, the speed of home elevators is clearly defined as follows:
Rated speed
The rated speed of a home elevator shall not exceed 0.4 m/s. For home elevators without car doors, the speed shall not exceed 0.3 m/s.
Speed differences between different types of elevators
The speed of a traction home elevator is usually 0.4 m/s.
The speed of a screw elevator is lower, generally 0.15 m/s.
The speed of a hydraulic elevator is usually around 0.25 m/s.
Reasons for speed limit
The speed limit of a home elevator is mainly to ensure safety and comfort. Excessive speed may increase safety hazards, and at the same time, the requirements for civil construction will be higher, such as requiring a larger top floor height and pit depth.
Speed requirements in actual use
The speed range of home elevators (0.25 m/s to 0.4 m/s) can already meet daily use needs, especially in villas or low-rise residences.
If you need to know more about the specific technical details of the traction elevator or screw elevator for home elevators, you can refer to the relevant specifications or consult professional manufacturers.
