Elevator Slide Speed Guide Shoe Premium Low-Friction Polymer Shoe
For Smooth
In the intricate ecosystem of a modern elevator system, the slide
speed guide shoe is a critical yet often overlooked component
dedicated to safety, ride comfort, and operational efficiency. Its
primary function is to guide the elevator car along the guide
rails, ensuring stable vertical movement while minimizing
vibration, noise, and lateral sway during travel.
Unlike traditional roller guide shoes that use wheels, slide guide
shoes employ a sliding interface, typically a replaceable composite
lining or shoe, which moves directly against the guide rail. This
design is particularly advantageous for high-speed elevators. The
term "speed" in "slide speed guide shoe" does not refer to the shoe
itself moving faster, but rather to its application in high-speed
elevator systems, often those traveling at 2.5 meters per second
(500 ft/min) and above.
The key to its performance lies in its material composition. The
sliding surface is made from a specialized polymer or composite
material, such as polyurethane or a phenolic resin, often filled
with lubricating elements like molybdenum disulfide. These
materials are engineered for:
·Low Coefficient of Friction: To ensure smooth travel and reduce
energy consumption.
·High Wear Resistance: To provide a long service life despite
constant contact with the steel rail.
·Vibration Damping: To absorb minor imperfections in the guide rail
and suppress noise, resulting in a remarkably quiet ride.
·Self-Lubrication: Many modern designs are "lubrication-free,"
reducing maintenance needs and environmental contamination.
The guide shoe assembly is mounted to the car frame and is
adjustable. Technicians can precisely align the shoes with the
guide rails, maintaining the optimal clearance to ensure the car
travels perfectly plumb without binding or excessive play.

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.
