Residential Suction Elevator Design

Residential Suction Elevator

The residential suction elevator, also known as a pneumatic vacuum elevator (PVE), is a space-efficient and modern vertical transportation system designed for private homes. This elevator operates using air pressure differentials to lift and lower the cab smoothly between floors without the need for traditional cables or pulleys.

 

Design Features:

  • Structure: The system consists of a vertical cylindrical shaft made of transparent or tinted polycarbonate or aluminum panels, offering a sleek and modern appearance that integrates well into various interior styles.
  • Cabin: The elevator cabin is compact and circular, typically accommodating 1 to 3 passengers depending on the model, with clear walls for full visibility.
  • Mechanism: The ascent is powered by a vacuum pump that creates negative pressure above the cab, gently lifting it. Descent is achieved by allowing air into the upper chamber, enabling gravity to lower the cab smoothly.
  • Installation: Minimal construction is required, as the unit is self-supporting and does not require a machine room, pit, or hoist way. This makes it ideal for retrofits and space-constrained homes.
  • Safety: Equipped with automatic braking systems, emergency lowering features, and battery backup, ensuring reliable and safe operation even during power outages.
