Types and Common Models of Elevator Contactors
In modern elevator systems, elevator contactors are essential executive components in the control circuit. They are mainly used to control the starting, stopping, and forward/reverse operation of the elevator traction motor. They also play a key role in the elevator door operator and auxiliary circuits. High-quality contactors not only ensure smooth elevator operation but also extend the service life of elevator equipment and improve safety.
What Is an Elevator Contactor?
An elevator contactor is an electrical switching device that uses an electromagnetic coil to open or close a circuit. During elevator operation, it converts control signals into motor actions or circuit switching, ensuring precise and reliable elevator start, acceleration, deceleration, and landing.
With the advancement of elevator technology, the types and functions of contactors have become more diversified, meeting the needs of different elevator types such as passenger elevators, freight elevators, panoramic elevators, and hospital elevators.
Main Types of Elevator Contactors
1. Main Circuit Contactor
Used for forward and reverse control of the elevator traction motor as well as starting and stopping operations. These contactors handle high current and require long electrical life and stable conductivity.
2. Auxiliary Circuit Contactor
Used in control circuits for signal switching, such as car operating panels, landing call buttons, and door operator control. It supports remote control and circuit protection to ensure safe elevator operation.
3. Door Operator Contactor
Specifically designed for elevator door systems, it controls the opening and closing of car doors and landing doors. When used together with light curtains and door locks, it effectively prevents passenger entrapment and enhances safety.
4. Electronic Contactor
A new type of contactor that uses solid-state components. It features fast response and long lifespan, making it suitable for elevator systems requiring smooth operation and high-frequency switching.
