Elevator Traction Solution by BRUGG Lifting

A comprehensive traction solution that brings together BRUGG Lifting’s advanced suspension technologies (coated belts or CTP ropes) with precisely matched drive components.
The solution includes:

  • Motor with traction sheave engineered for Brugg’s coated traction media
  • Suspension media (belts or CTP ropes)
  • Diverter sheaves for optimal routing
  • High-reliability end terminations

Specifically designed for low- to mid-rise elevators, this traction solution delivers superior ride comfort, safety, and energy efficiency—ensuring perfect harmony between suspension media and drive technology.

System Integration for the Future – The BRUsystem by BRUGG Lifting

The BRUsystem is BRUGG Lifting’s Elevator Traction Solution, combining advanced suspension technologies (coated belts or CTP ropes) with a modular traction architecture.

It integrates traction media, matched drive with sheave, diverter pulleys, and reliable terminations into a technically coordinated unit. The result is maximum efficiency with reduced complexity from planning through operation.

Factory-matched components minimize installation effort, maintenance, and testing time. Precisely manufactured parts and controlled interfaces ensure smooth operation, high reliability, and energy efficiency.

Designed for low- and mid-rise buildings, the BRUsystem is equally suitable for new installations and modernizations. With its compact design, operational safety, and optimized power transmission, it fulfills the requirements of modern elevator traction solutions.

BRUsystem with BRUbelt® or CTP® – Two Solutions, One Concept

Depending on your requirements, BRUGG Lifting offers two technically coordinated variants of the BRUsystem: with the BRUbelt® flat belt or the CTP® rope. Both traction elements were developed specifically for use within the BRUsystem and stand out through high performance, durability, and ease of maintenance.

BRUsystem with BRUbelt®

The BRUbelt® is a coated flat belt made of high-tensile steel cords encased in wear-resistant polyurethane. This design allows smaller traction sheaves, compact drives, and quiet, low-vibration operation.

Since the BRUbelt® operates without lubrication, it is clean, maintenance-free, and environmentally friendly.
With its flexibility and compact design, the BRUbelt® is suitable for both new installations and modernization projects, making it an ideal solution where space efficiency and architectural adaptability are required.

BRUsystem with CTP® Rope

The CTP® rope is a solid steel rope coated with TPU, offering high dimensional stability and precise friction control. It was developed for applications that demand maximum load capacity and long service life. The even power transmission between rope and traction sheave reduces wear and ensures smooth operation with minimal energy consumption.

With its durability, safety, and low maintenance needs, the CTP® rope is suitable for both new installations and modernization projects, delivering maximum operational reliability over the entire lifecycle.

Efficiency, Safety and Quality from a Single Source

The BRUsystem’s technical coordination reduces energy consumption and extends component lifetime. Friction losses and vibrations are minimized, allowing the motor, rope, and traction sheave to work together optimally. All components are designed for operation without lubrication or re-tensioning, enabling an almost maintenance-free lifecycle.

BRUGG Lifting offers more than just component manufacturing. Development, production, testing, and certification come from a single source, ensuring consistent quality and full traceability. Customers also benefit from extensive technical support, training, and inspection services that ensure long-term operational safety.

Future-Proof Technology

The BRUsystem provides a flexible platform for future developments in elevator engineering. New materials, monitoring systems, and energy-efficient drive concepts can be seamlessly integrated without changing the base structure. Through continuous research in coated traction elements, BRUGG Lifting remains at the forefront of technology, delivering solutions that combine precision, efficiency, and durability.
