Linearity
Linearity is a company specializing in the research, development, and commercialization of linear motor elevators (LME), a next-generation elevator technology that eliminates the need for suspension ropes by directly mounting linear motors on elevator cars. This innovation enables multiple cars to operate efficiently within a single shaft (multi-car system), reducing wait times for users and increasing rentable floor space for building owners, thereby enhancing profitability. The self-propelled elevators can move vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, allowing connectivity beyond a single building to nearby facilities. Linearity develops core components, control technologies including AI-based group management systems, and licenses these technologies globally to elevator manufacturers. The company operates prototype systems at Kyoto University and aims to revolutionize urban architecture and mobility with its technology.
