Discover Our T-shaped Guide Rails
T-shaped Guide Rails consist of a guide rail body and a fixed plate, with the rail body vertically positioned at the center of the fixed plate. The guide rail body includes a rail head and a rail tail. A shock-absorbing hole is designed at the rail head, housing a built-in shock-absorbing device that effectively reduces internal stress during elevator operation and extends the guide rail’s service life. The rail tail features a heat dissipation hole to help manage heat buildup during high-frequency use. The fixed plate is equipped with mounting holes embedded with elastic spacers, which prevent bolts from being over-tightened and enhance the guide rail's seismic resistance, further protecting the structure.
Guide rails are connected using a press-button (snap-fit) structure, which ensures high straightness and tight connection between segments, while also providing a positioning function. This design simplifies installation and significantly improves assembly efficiency.
Additionally, the guide rail features rounded chamfered edges, which help minimize friction between the guide shoe and the rail, reducing wear and operational noise.
Stoxh's components for elevator guide rails have several kinds below:
Guide Rails
The core component that directs the vertical movement of the elevator car and counterweight.
Usually made of steel, with a T-shaped cross-section for strength and alignment.
Fish Plates
Also known as rail joints or connecting plates, these are metal connectors used to join two sections of guide rail together.
They ensure continuous alignment and structural integrity.
Rail Clips
Fasteners that secure the guide rails to the rail brackets or building structure.
Keep the rails firmly fixed in place to prevent movement during operation.
Rail Brackets
Structural supports that hold the guide rails at regular intervals inside the elevator shaft.
Maintain rail position, spacing, and rigidity, especially during high-speed travel.
We mainly have guide rails, connecting plates(fish plates), and rail clips.
