Sliding Guide Shoe Elevators Spare Parts 5mm Guide Rail Width SN - SGS - H14

Overview:
The Sliding Guide Shoe is a critical elevator component that ensures smooth vertical movement of the car along the guide rails. These low-friction devices maintain proper alignment while minimizing vibration and noise during operation.

Key Features:

1. Precision Guidance – Maintains 2-3mm clearance between car frame and guide rails for wobble-free travel

2. Durable Construction – Typically features:

   • High-strength aluminum alloy or cast iron base

   • Replaceable nylon or composite sliding pads

   • Adjustable gibs for wear compensation

3. Friction Optimization – Specialized lining materials (PTFE/UHMWPE) reduce resistance while withstanding 0.5-1.5m/s² acceleration forces

Technical Specifications:

• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +60°C

• Load capacity: 150-300% of rated elevator weight

• Wear life: 500,000-1,000,000 cycles (varies by material)

Maintenance Requirements:

• Monthly inspection for:

  • Pad thickness (replace at ≤3mm remaining)

  • Proper lubrication (graphite-based recommended)

  • Fastener tightness (25-30Nm torque standard)

• Annual alignment verification using laser tools

Advantages Over Roller Guides:

• 30-40% lower initial cost

• Quieter operation in low/mid-speed elevators (≤2.5m/s)

• No bearing maintenance required

• Fix the lift car on the guide rail
• Reduce friction between boot and rail
• Respectively installed on the sides of top girder and the bottom of safety
• Avoided the car running deviation or swing.

FAQ
1. Are the elevator wire ropes durable?
The elevator wire rope has special provisions and requirements. Configuration is not only for wire rope and rated load, but also considered the size of the traction, as a result, the tensile strength of wire rope is greater than the weight of the lift. The safety factor is equipped with more than four wire rope. So it won’t break at the same time.
2. Is it dangerous for power failure suddenly during the elevator running?
If it occurs, the elevator will automatically stop due to the electrical and mechanical safety device. In case of power failure,elevator brakes will automatically taken. In addition, the power supply departments such as planned outage, prior notice are also operating.
3. Will us be hurt when it closed suddenly?
In the closing process, if people touch the hall door, the door of elevator will automatically restart without any danger. With anti clamping switch, once the gate touched, this switching action make the elevator unable to be closed and even reopened. In addition, closing force is also available here.
4. How the elevator running?
Elevators are operated with a counterweight wire rope through the (tractor) traction drive, making ups and downs on the guide rail.
5. Is the escalator installation complicated?
We believe the functions of an escalator are not necessarily proportional to the operation complexity. Therefore, escalators designed by us apply an integrated structure, so that the equipment is more precise and more efficient and allows easier and more convenient commissioning.
6. Do you have any cerifications?
Yes, we do with ISO9001 / CCC / CE Certificates for u.
