Traction lift machine is also widely known as electric elevators. Most of the lifts we come across, be it in a residential apartment or commercial building, are based on traction mechanisms.
Coming to their design and engineering, the elevator cabin car is pulled upward and downward by specially engineered rolling steel ropes over a grooved pulley. It is basically called a sheave. As far as its movement is concerned, the fraction between the hoist steel ropes and the sheaves is instrumental in moving the cab vertically.
