Model of an elevator system to characterize the influence of the isolator on the vibration transmission

• Vibrations are a common issue in elevator installations, where a drive machine that holds and pulls the cabin and the counterweight composes the electromechanical system. In order to reduce the space needed by the installation, nowadays the drive machine is usually mounted upon a frame that is fixed to the guide rails. Therefore, vibration transmission can occur through the machine to the cabin or even to the building. With the purpose of reducing this vibration transmission, the use of isolators under the machine is a widely employed solution. These isolators are often selected just taking into account the static loads, due to the lack of information about the dynamic behavior of the system. The present research develops a theoretical model of an elevator system to study the influence of the isolators on vibration transmission.
