Abstract:
An elevator system includes a hoistway and an elevator car to travel in the hoistway. Permanent magnets are mounted to the elevator car and primary windings are mounted in the hoistway to form a linear motor. The primary windings having a first section having a first number of turns and a second section having a second number of turns. The first number of turns is less than the second number of turns.
