Geared traction machines are driven by AC electric motors. Geared machines use worm gears to control mechanical movement of elevator cars by "rolling" steel hoist ropes over a drive sheave which is attached to a gearbox driven by a high speed motor. These machines are generally the best option for basement or overhead traction use for speeds up to 500 ftmin (2.5 ms).

Gearless traction machines are low speed , high torque electric motors powered by AC . In this case, the drive sheave is directly attached to the end of the motor. Gearless traction elevators can reach speeds of up to 2, 000 ftmin (10 ms), or even higher. A brake is mounted between the motor and drive sheave (or gearbox) to hold the elevator stationary at a floor. This brake is usually an external drum type and is actuated by spring force and held open electrically; a power failure will cause the brake to engage and prevent the elevator from falling.
