Hauer's Got It: Original Spare Parts by Kuhse
When it comes to seeking the perfect solution for the highest requirements in the realm of latch magnets and latch curves, one swiftly arrives at a company situated in the northern German town of Winsen an der Luhe. This is where Kuhse Industrial Components GmbH crafts durable components for the operation of door locks. Hauer elevatorshop has maintained a longstanding and intensive collaboration with this premium provider, renowned worldwide for its application-specific electromagnetic solutions. It's only natural, then, that Hauer elevatorshop is the premier destination for Kuhse spare parts—ranging from curves to magnets.
Kuhse Industrial Components is particularly known in the international elevator industry for a significant component: the North German company has made a name for itself with outstanding latch curves. Latch curves are key players, especially in elevator cabins, ensuring a smooth and carefree ride—and they are indispensable for door locks. Locking devices typically consist of a locking curve and a drive magnet, which are in turn guided together via a deflection pulley.
In the history of modern elevators, brake magnets, lift magnets, and latch magnets stand out as perfect examples of the technical innovation that turned vertical mobility into the world's safest mode of transportation. Since latch curves are electromagnetically engaged during the ride, they prevent the unlocking of a shaft door while in transit.
However, the high-quality spare parts that consistently captivate the market anew with Kuhse offer more than just maximum safety during an elevator journey. They come equipped with pneumatic noise dampening systems, enhancing the comfort of each ride, and their top-notch surface coatings coupled with robust electronics ensure near-unparalleled reliability.
Utmost Safety for Passenger Elevators and Goods Transport
Reliability, even under constant stress, is particularly evident when demanding the utmost safety without any compromise—such as during elevator braking. In these crucial moments, Kuhse's brake magnets demonstrate how high-load braking can be smooth and almost imperceptible today. This applies not only to sensitive passenger transport but also in the industrial realm, where freight elevators transport fragile goods securely and swiftly without hesitation. Kuhse brake magnets, often in the form of double-armature magnets, are largely designed in line with lift magnets and their construction is adjusted to meet the requirements, including the demanded magnetic force for braking.
This principle extends beyond brake magnets—whenever it involves the movement, switching, locking, and securing of elevators. Thus, the versatile direct current lift magnets produced by the company in Winsen an der Luhe serve as an efficient foundational element for executing various movements securely through electromagnetic actuators. As universal lift magnets, they find utility across diverse industries. Moreover, when it comes to enhancing the initial force of a magnet, Kuhse has something to offer: with switching controls, Hauer's premium partner ensures that the elevator's attraction time is automatically reduced.
Whether a standard or specialized solution, "Made in Germany" Quality
Another commonality between Hauer elevatorshop and Kuhse is their shared commitment to swiftly, reliably, and safely supply the elevator industry with ready-made magnets—because high availabilities constitute the fundamental prerequisite for effective system operation. The company has amassed substantial experience in this regard: for approximately seventy years, these Northerners have been serving the system-critical elevator industry—during these decades, they have consistently set standards in the development of highly advanced elevator components, including fire door magnets, holding magnets, and other accessories for vertical mobility. And to this day, it is the electromagnetic latch curves with their reliability and long lifespan that have rendered the venerable company in Winsen well-known and have allowed it to firmly establish a place in the market surrounding elevators and escalators.
Tradition is, of course, a hallmark of Kuhse's identity: in Winsen an der Luhe, all services are coordinated under one roof—boasting a familial structure and a clear philosophy. Additionally, the entire process chain from planning through production to delivery and subsequent services adheres to certified quality management—an indicator of the intensive partnership between Kuhse and Hauer elevatorshop. Reliability, flexibility, and transparency serve as the foundations on which the high technical and professional competencies are built—and it is the sum of these factors that makes Kuhse the ideal solution provider in the elevator industry. As emphasized by Oliver Uhl, who intimately knows the company and acquired it in 2020, this holds true internationally: "Our products are installed in thousands of elevators worldwide," he affirms. "By the way, this includes the elevator in the Statue of Liberty in New York, which takes visitors up to the observation platform in the statue's head."
Incidentally, as of 2023, Kuhse Industrial Components is a premium partner of Hauer—the elevatorshop!
