What Types of Elevator Steel Belts Are There?

With the continuous development of elevator technology, steel belts have gradually replaced traditional wire ropes, becoming a key component of the new generation of elevator traction systems. Different types of steel belts have their own features, designed to meet various elevator requirements.

1. Polyurethane-Coated Steel Belt
The most common type. It consists of multiple high-strength steel cords inside, covered by a wear-resistant, anti-aging polyurethane layer.
Features: Excellent flexibility, high wear resistance, long service life. Suitable for most mid- and high-rise building elevators.

2. Flat Steel Belt
Compared with traditional round wire ropes, the flat design allows for a much smaller traction sheave diameter.
Features: Saves shaft space, ideal for machine-room-less (MRL) or small machine room elevators.

3. High-Strength Corrosion-Resistant Steel Belt
Developed for high-humidity, coastal, or special environments.
Features: Superior anti-corrosion performance, suitable for projects with extremely high safety and stability requirements.

4. Special Customized Steel Belt
Customized according to elevator brand and project needs, including different widths, thicknesses, and load capacities.
Features: Flexible adaptation to diverse working conditions, meeting personalized requirements.

Different types of steel belts are directly related to elevator safety, service life, riding comfort, and maintenance costs. Choosing the right steel belt not only ensures long-term stable operation but also reduces daily maintenance expenses, delivering greater value for owners and property managers.
