Elevator guide rails are structural elements that support the operation of elevators. They are usually made of steel material and installed in the elevator shaft. The design and manufacturing quality of elevator guide rails are directly related to the stability and ride comfort of the elevator. FUJISCH's high-quality elevator guide rails ensure the smooth operation and accurate alignment of the elevator.
T-shaped guide rail is one of the most common types of elevator guide rails, and its cross-sectional shape is "T"-shaped. It has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost, convenient installation, etc., and is suitable for most low-rise and middle-rise elevators.
U-shaped guide rail is stronger and more stable than T-shaped guide rail. It is suitable for high-speed and high-rise elevators and can withstand greater load and lateral force.
The steel belt guide rail is made of thin steel belt, which has a small cross-sectional size and weight, and is suitable for elevator installations with limited space.
The magnetic levitation guide rail adopts magnetic levitation technology to realize the levitation and guidance of the elevator, without direct contact surface, which reduces wear and friction, and provides a smoother and quieter ride experience.
| Type of Lift Guide Rails | Common Dimensions (mm) |
| Square Lift Guide Rail | 50mm × 50mm 63mm × 63mm |
| U-Shaped Lift Guide Rail | 80mm (Width) × 45mm (Height) |
The length of the elevator guide rail is also an important parameter. According to the height of the elevator shaft, the length of the guide rail can be customized to ensure smooth operation between different floors. Elevator rails of appropriate length can effectively reduce wear and tear and increase the service life of the elevator.
Common guide rail materials include carbon steel and stainless steel. Guide rails of different materials vary in strength and corrosion resistance. Carbon steel guide rails in elevators usually have higher strength and are suitable for elevator systems that need to carry a large weight. Stainless steel guide rails in elevators are often used in humid or highly corrosive environments due to their excellent corrosion resistance. When choosing an elevator guide rail material, it is necessary to make a comprehensive consideration based on the working environment of the elevator. If the elevator is installed outdoors or in a humid area, stainless steel lift guide rails are a better choice. For indoor or dry environments, carbon steel lift guide rails can provide sufficient strength and economy.
Stability: Ensuring to pass the elevator guide rail standards, the elevator guide rails can provide stable support and guidance to ensure the stability of the elevator during operation.
Guidance: High-quality guide rails can ensure that the elevator moves along the track accurately during operation, avoiding deviation and slipping.
Durability: High-quality guide rails are made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, which can withstand long-term operation and heavy loads.
Reduce noise: High-quality guide rails can reduce noise caused by friction and vibration during elevator operation.
Safety: High-quality guide rails are equipped with necessary safety devices, such as guide rail impactors and limit devices, which can prevent the elevator from exceeding the specified operating range or other accidents.
