Application Notes: Elevator & Escalator

Elevator & Escalator PDF

Electromechanical relays and switches are extensively used in elevator, escalator, and people mover controls, both within the control systems and at the user interface. Relays are typically employed for the mechanical control of these systems, while anti-vandal switches are prominently used due to their durability and visibility. High reliability is essential given the heavy usage and long-term operational requirements of these systems. The relays and switches showcased here are currently in use worldwide in elevators, escalators, and people movers. CIT Relay & Switch offers a broad range of relays and switches for this industry and can custom design products to meet specific needs.
