Which metal parts are used with elevator guide shoes?

Elevator guide shoes are usually equipped with some metal parts during operation to ensure their normal operation and extend their service life. Common metal parts are:

Guide shoe base
The connecting part between the guide shoe and the elevator car frame is generally made of high-strength metal and can provide stable support.

Sliding plate bracket
It is used to fix the sliding plate in the guide shoe to ensure that the sliding plate can smoothly contact the elevator guide rail.

Guide shoe slider or roller
Some guide shoes use metal sliders or rollers to reduce friction or better bear the load. These parts contact the guide rail to help the guide shoe slide or roll smoothly on the guide rail.

Fastening bolts
It is used to fix the elevator guide shoe and the guide shoe base to ensure that the various components are closely connected so that the elevator will not loosen during operation.

Buffer gasket
Sometimes metal shims or rubber gaskets are set between metal parts, which can have a good shock absorption and noise reduction effect.

Locating pins
It can ensure the precise positioning of the guide shoe on the elevator guide rail to prevent the elevator car from offsetting during operation.

Shoe guide spring
In order to enable elastic adjustment and maintain a balanced pressure of the guide shoe on the elevator guide rail, certain guide shoes make use of metal springs.

These corresponding metal parts jointly ensure the reliable operation of the elevator guide shoes on the guide rails, making the stability and safety of the elevator system more guaranteed.
