Le mouvement de la cabine et du contrepoids peut être commandé soit par un treuil à tambour ou treuil attelé, soit par un treuil à adhérence. [...] Lorsqu'il est fait usage d'une machine à tambour, le défaut de fonctionnement des dispositifs d'arrêt aux fins de course a des conséquences graves pouvant aller jusqu'à la destruction du treuil. En outre, la longueur théorique du tambour étant fonction de la course, le treuil à tambour se prête mal à une standardisation pratique, et une surélévation éventuelle de l'immeuble rend généralement nécessaire le remplacement du treuil. C'est pour ces raisons que le treuil à adhérence est maintenant universellement adopté sur tous les ascenseurs et monte-charge équilibrés. 2, record 3, French, - machine%20%C3%A0%20adh%C3%A9rence
