The Cornerstone to Our Success
Rail clips in elevator guide systems is to securely fix the guide rails onto the installation brackets within the elevator shaft, ensuring they remain firmly in place during operation. There are typically two types of rail clips used: T-type rail clips and cast iron rail clips. Both serve the same essential function of providing stable support and precise positioning of the guide rails, which is critical for the safe, smooth, and aligned movement of the elevator car and counterweight.
| Hollow Rail Clips | Solid Rail Clips | |
| Structure | Hollow or partially hollow inside | Completely solid |
| Weight | Lighter | Heavier |
| Strength | Moderate strength, suitable for medium loads | High strength, suitable for heavy loads |
| Flexibility | More flexible, can absorb some vibration | Rigid with less flexibility |
| Cost | Less material used, generally lower cost | More material used, generally higher cost |
| Durability | Moderate durability, not ideal for very high stress | High durability, resistant to wear and impact |
| Installation | Easier to handle due to lighter weight | Heavier and requires more effort to install |
| Typical Application | Situations needing weight reduction and moderate strength | Situations demanding maximum strength and stability |
You can choose which one you need according to the table.
