Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Otis Gen2 elevator system, emphasizing its innovative design that eliminates the need for a control room or machine room, requiring only a hoistway. This design enhances architectural freedom and efficiency.
Key Features
  • Coated Steel Belts: Patented belts with a smaller bending radius than traditional wire ropes, allowing for a more compact and efficient gearless machine.
  • Compact Gearless Machine: 70% smaller and up to 50% more efficient than conventional geared machines.
  • Intelligent Engineering: Focus on design and performance redefines elevator systems.
Design and Installation
The Gen2 system offers a self-contained design with integrated components, providing greater design freedom, space savings, and minimal jobsite coordination. The compact controller fits inside the wall of the top elevator landing, eliminating the need for additional space for elevator components.
Environmental Impact
Otis emphasizes sustainability with the Gen2 system, incorporating green technology such as:
  • No Lubrication: Reduces hazardous waste.
  • Energy Efficiency: Features ReGen drive, LED lighting, and automatic sleep mode, making it up to 75% more efficient than conventional systems.
  • Regenerative Technology: ReGen drive captures and recycles energy back into the building's grid.
Ride Quality
The Gen2 system provides a smooth and quiet ride by eliminating metal-on-metal contact, reducing noise and vibration, resulting in a more comfortable passenger experience.
Installation and Maintenance
Designed for rapid installation, reducing construction time and costs. Operates on single-phase power, further reducing costs. Otis offers advanced maintenance systems like OMMS and Pulse for predictive and preventative maintenance, ensuring reliability and safety.
Technical Specifications
Detailed specifications for various configurations of the Gen2 system, including dimensions, weight capacities, and speed options. Guidelines for planning and installation emphasize consulting with Otis representatives for specific project needs.
Specifications
  • Car Specifications: Lists different models with varying rated capacities (2500 lbs to 5000 lbs) and passenger capacities (15 to 31). Interior dimensions, cab height, door width, and entrance height are specified for each model.
  • Hoistway Specifications: Includes single, double, and triple width measurements, depth, and total overhead requirements. Adjustments for seismic zones are also provided.
  • Control Closet/Room: Dimensions for control closets and rooms are specified, with variations for duplex configurations.
Procedures and Recommendations
  • For complex projects, it is recommended to contact a local Otis representative or email general inquiries for assistance.
  • Consultation is advised for projects involving multi-car groups or smaller dimensions.
Performance Parameters
  • Travel Height and Speed: Maximum travel height is 300 feet with a maximum of 28 stops. Speed options range from 350 ft/min to 500 ft/min.
  • Minimum Pit Depth: Varies with speed, ranging from 5'-5 1/4" to 6'-9".
Case Studies
  • Examples of installations include Memorial Hermann Tower and The Westin Houston, showcasing various Otis elevator models like Gen2 and hydraulic elevators.
Conclusion
The document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and planning the installation of Otis elevators, highlighting the importance of early consultation with Otis representatives to ensure compliance with specifications and optimal performance.
