When It Comes to Safety, There’s No Price Tag: Why Screw driven technology considered as best safety technology

When you think about making your home more accessible and future-ready, safety has to be at the top of your list. Whether it’s to help aging parents move around more easily or to simply add an element of convenience to multi-story living, installing a home lift is a decision that can dramatically improve your quality of life. When it comes to choosing the right lift, one technology stands out from the rest: screw-driven lifts. This article explores why screw-driven technology is the most superior for home lifts, and particularly the options of Cibes Lift.

What Is a Screw-Driven Lift?

Within Cibes lifts, the mechanism of screw and nut is found at its center. Within the system, there is a stiff screw shaft along the direction in which the lift travels. Through an electric motor, a nut is propelled within this screw and enables the ascend and descend of the lift. As the nut is rotated forward by the motor, the lift goes up; reversing the process makes the lift go down. This simple yet efficient design obviates the use of cables or counterweights, differentiating it from conventional elevator systems.

Screw-Driven Lifts Cannot Fall

Yes, you read that right.

One of the most important reasons people choose screw-driven technology is that the lift simply cannot fall. The cabin is always threaded onto the steel screw shaft. Even if there’s a power failure, the lift will not drop or plummet. Cibes lifts are equipped with a battery backup system so the lift can safely descend to the nearest floor and open the door. You’re never left stranded.

This is a major reason Cibes Lift uses screw-driven systems in its home lift designs. You get a reliable, structurally sound lift that you can trust every single day.

Additional Safety Features

The mechanics are just one aspect of safety. Additionally, screw-driven lifts have several built-in safety features that provide you with additional peace of mind:

In the odd event that you need to stop the elevator for any reason, emergency stop buttons are easily located, and an anti-stuck system is there.

Battery backup: Your lift can proceed to the closest floor and swing open the doors to allow you to exit securely in the event of an electrical power outage.

Safety sensors: To avoid mishaps, these identify obstructions and automatically stop the lift.

Fits Beautifully Into Any Home

Screw-driven lifts are renowned for their space-saving design. They usually need little space and do not even require a separate machine room or pit, which makes them suitable for residential applications where space is limited. This design not only saves space but also limits the structural alterations required while installing it. Cibes Lift has utilized this benefit by providing models that easily fit into different types of home designs without the need for extensive redesigns. Their lifts are fashioned to match a home’s present look, and both functionality and beauty are provided.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Considerations

Running on regular domestic power, screw-driven lifts are power-efficient, using less energy than certain other systems. The saving translates into lower operating costs and a lower carbon footprint, fitting in with the increasing focus on green living.

Quiet, Smooth, and Low-Maintenance

If you’ve ever stood close to an old elevator, you know how loud they are. With screw-driven lifts, there is no noise. They run quietly and smoothly, so you’ll hardly even hear them operating—no creaking cables, no clanking motors.

And maintenance? Screw-driven lifts are notoriously low-maintenance. With fewer moving parts and no oil or hydraulic fluids to worry about, they have a longer lifespan and are cheaper to maintain in the long run.
