What is an Elevator Steel Belt?
In the core transmission system of modern elevators, the steel belt has gradually replaced traditional steel wire ropes, becoming an important traction component of the new generation of elevators.
Essentially, an elevator steel belt is a composite, belt-shaped traction member made of high-strength steel wires as its backbone, coated with polyurethane or other polymer materials. Compared with traditional wire ropes, it is lighter and thinner, yet offers stronger load-bearing capacity and better wear resistance.
Advantages of Elevator Steel Belts
Better flexibility: The flat-belt design can easily bend around small-diameter traction sheaves, making the elevator shaft more compact and reducing construction costs.
Longer service life: The polyurethane coating protects the inner steel wires, providing excellent wear and corrosion resistance, which significantly extends the lifespan.
Quieter operation: More uniform friction reduces noise and vibration during elevator operation, improving riding comfort.
High safety and reliability: Each belt contains multiple ultra-strong steel wires, ensuring greater tensile strength and redundancy for safe elevator operation.
If you are considering elevator modernization, or looking for a solution with longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs, the elevator steel belt is undoubtedly the trend of the future.
