Lifts & Escalators
A lift combines two requirements that rarely coexist elsewhere: continuous movement and safety standards that allow no room for failure. Hutchinson has extensive experience in managing the vibrations generated by the motors and guide rails of these systems.

Lifts & Escalators
Acoustics & Vibration
Traction along the guide rails generates vibrations that passengers feel directly inside the lift car. Our anti-vibration solutions isolate the car, providing a quieter ride from one floor to the next.
Power Transmission
A lift car must move smoothly, without jolts or progressive transmission drift. Our belts and servo systems ensure precise movement without the need for tension adjustment.
Sensors / Detection & Measurement / Encoders
Precise stopping at every floor depends on reliable measurement of the lift car's position and speed. Our magnetic rings and inductive sensors provide this data continuously, regardless of the number of journeys made each day.
Precision Sealing
The lift shaft accumulates dust and moisture over time, creating a harsh environment for exposed mechanical components. Our seals protect these components and the lift doors, even in systems operating continuously.
Protection / Safety / Structure
Lift maintenance requires easy access to mechanical components, which are often installed in confined spaces. Our levelling and securing systems simplify maintenance work, even on equipment subjected to continuous operation.
