Elevator Lift components / Elevator Guide Rails – Frequently Asked Questions

How to name guide rails?

 The departure point of naming guide rails varies from country to country. Some name the guide rail according to the width of its aspect of guiding, such as T9, T16. While others name based on its weight, like 8LB, 12LB . However, we mostly name guide rail according to its width of bottom, for example: T70, T50.

What difference is there between cold-drawn and planed guide rails? 

 The process for cold-drawn involves stretching the material thus modifying its structure. Planing involves machining the guide rail by stripping the edgings.

Are the speed limits for the different qualities precise?

 No, the calculations for comfort are carried out using a mathematical model validated with practical tests, hence the speed limits set are approximate.

Why are the guide rails 5 meters long?

 The guide rails are 5 meters long because it is the appropriate manufacturing length and allows the parameters for straightening to be checked properly.

Do the guide rails have any surface treatment?

 No, the guide rails do not have surface treatments. On cold-drawn guide rails the cold-drawn process modifies the mechanical features of the material.

With more than 30 years' experience in machinery industry, Mr.Qian has the factory of his own in 2001.

Since 2006, our factory has developed from a factory that mainly provides machinery processing services to a specialized manufacturer of a series of guide rails for elevators. These elevator guide rails are usually used for vertical lifts & elevators to slide up and down safely and smoothly.

Our factory has passed ISO 9001 certificate. And our guide rails has passed type test in our industry.

In 2008, we started the foreign trade business. The daughter of Mr.Qian is in charge of the foreign trade business. We are able to listen carefully to the needs of customers and prepare the goods well and quickly. With high quality , and reasonable price, our products garner a good reputation both in domestic and overseas markets.
