Modular machine with brake coil integrated in motor stand

Abstract

An elevator machine (5) for driving an elevator car (6) in an elevator system (2) comprises a shaft (12) that extends along an axial direction (A) and includes a sheave portion (26) for coupling the shaft (12) to at least one tension member (3), in particular to at least one belt, that is coupled to the elevator car (6). The elevator machine (5) further includes a motor (9) that is configured for rotationally driving the shaft (12) and a brake (20) for braking rotation of the shaft (12). The motor (9), the brake (20) and the sheave portion (26) are arranged along the axial direction (A) such that the brake (20) is arranged between the motor (9) and the sheave portion (26).
