Elevator guide rails are essential components that vertically direct the elevator cabin and counterweight, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the elevator.
Type B elevator guide rails are strong and durable guide rails used in elevators that operate at higher speeds and with heavy loads. These rails are especially preferred in high-rise buildings and elevator systems with heavy traffic.
Type B rails are produced not through cold drawing, but mainly from processed steel, which provides a stronger structure. The standard dimensions of these rails are determined in accordance with international standards such as ISO 7465. During the production process, precision machining is performed to ensure that the rails have smooth and even surfaces, allowing the cabin moving along the rail to operate more stably and efficiently.
Type B elevator guide rails are typically used in elevators that operate at speeds of 1 m/s and above. In elevators that operate at high speeds, the guidance and balance of the cabin and counterweight are of critical importance. Since Type B rails are designed to accommodate these high speeds and heavy load capacities, they are suitable for handling heavy traffic in high-rise buildings. These rails are also preferred in elevator systems that carry heavy loads.
