Abstract
An elevator system includes an elevator car constructed and arranged to travel in a hoistway. A linear propulsion system of the elevator system is configured to impart a force upon the elevator car to control movement of the car. The linear propulsion system includes a secondary portion mounted to the elevator car and having a plurality of magnets. A first primary portion of the linear propulsion system includes a mounting assembly, a plurality of coils engaged to the mounting assembly, and a first cooling device including at least one conduit projecting outward from the mounting assembly and into the hoistway for transferring heat.
