System Overview
Built on Engineering Excellence
Every Metron elevator is designed as a complete system—motor, suspension, control, structure, and cabin working together in balance.
This page explains the elevator types we offer and the motor and suspension technologies behind their performance, in a clear and non-intimidating way.

Motor & Control Technology
Gearless Motors, Advanced Suspension, Intelligent Control
To avoid confusion, we separate the system correctly: motor (machine), suspension method, and drive/control logic. Each layer contributes to ride comfort, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Motor Type: Gearless
All Metron elevators use gearless motors for smooth rotation, high efficiency, and quiet performance. Gearless machines reduce vibration, minimize mechanical wear, and deliver refined ride quality over the long term.
Machine Room vs Machine Room-Less
Machine room (MR) systems place the gearless motor in a dedicated technical room. MRL systems integrate the motor within the shaft to save space and simplify architectural planning without compromising performance standards.
Suspension + Control System
MRL systems are available with conventional steel wire rope or next generation compact steel belt suspension. Motion is governed by the drive and control system (VVVF + intelligent logic), ensuring smooth acceleration, precise leveling, and calm ride behavior.
