How Stair Lifts Revolutionize Movement
Stair lifts have evolved in previous years beyond mere accessibility aids; they now epitomize seamless movement in both the home and the workplace. They have revolutionized movement and accessibility for many individuals with mobility challenges or disabilities, as well as aiding those who may provide care for them.
Increased mobility promotes independence by enabling individuals to access different levels of a building without needing constant help, whether that be within their own home, workplace or public buildings. This affords them the ability to live more autonomously which in turn will improve their quality of life including the important step of allowing them to remain living in their homes without the need for major structural modifications.
Something as straightforward as improved mobility can exponentially impact the mental health of the individuals and their carers by reducing stress and anxiety which may accompany the need to move to different levels of a building.
However, a stair lift is only as efficient, safe and comfortable as the motors and gearboxes which are used to drive them. Parvalux has been a key player within the stair lift industry for many years and has a clear understanding of the complex requirements in regard to operation and safety.
Here at Parvalux, we have developed a range of ground-breaking motors and gearboxes which are suitable for straight, curved, narrow or wide stair lifts, as well as offering motors for the main drive and seat leveling operations.
Our two most popular components within the stair lift industry are the
BRx90 range of motors and the
GB9 gearbox as they are able to deal with a wide range of weight loads meaning they are particularly versatile.
BRx90 motor
There are various benefits to implementing the BRx90 motor within your stair lift applications which include:
- Smooth and Quiet Operation – This ensures a smooth and safe ride for the customer without excess noise.
- Reliability – The BRx90 is extremely durable and reliable ensuring a consistent service over extended periods of time regardless of the weight load.
- Energy Efficiency – This motor is designed to optimize energy usage, potentially reducing power consumption and lowering operational costs.
- Compact Design – At Parvalux we understand that space-efficiency is essential and therefore our range of motors is compact without compromising on performance.
- Adaptable and Customizable – All of our motors are customizable to your particular requirements.
GB9 Gearbox
The GB9 gearbox also has a number of advantages when used within stair lift projects which include:
- Energy Efficiency – This gearbox is designed to efficiently transfer power from the motor to the moving components of the stair lift resulting in higher torque and slower moving speeds for a smooth and gentle ride.
- Smooth and Quiet Operation – Like the BRx90 motor this gearbox also has smooth operation which minimizes noise and more importantly for comfort, vibrations during operation.
- Customizable – The GB9 gearbox is customizable to ensure your speed and torque requirements are met.
- Safety – A brake is added to the motor and gearbox combination to stop any movement in the event of a power outage, therefore keeping the user safe at all times.
Combining the BRx90 and the GB9 gearbox within your stair lift application will provide a robust and durable power source for your final product, offering a safe and smooth ride for the end user again and again. The GB65 can also be used in the stairlift industry for increased torque output. Custom gear sets are available within the stairlift industry to get the perfect power and output speed for a product. At Parvalux we can also mount pinion gears to the output shaft, meaning the customer will have the whole product delivered to them and no extra machining operation will have to be carried out.
Therefore, if you are in the process of designing stair lifts and want a solution that suits a number of specific project requirements Parvalux will be able to help.
