Acceleration and Velocity

The total amount of time it takes for a traction elevator car to start, move, and stop a given amount of distance at different elevator speeds can be generalized from the table below.

A typical traction elevator accelerates at <3.5fps for <= 400fps, and >4.5fps for > 500fpm.

Height (ft) 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 20 30 10ft+
100ft/m 7.6 8.2 8.8 9.4 10.0 10.6 11.2 14.2 20.2 6.0
150ft/m 6.7 7.1 7.5 7.9 8.3 8.7 9.1 11.1 15.1 4.0
200ft/m 5.8 6.1 6.4 6.7 7.0 7.3 7.6 9.1 12.1 3.0
