Elevator belt
An elevator belt is a critical component in vertical transport systems such as industrial elevators and bucket lifts, responsible for transmitting driving force and moving loads across different heights. These belts are typically made from durable materials like industrial rubber or polyurethane, reinforced with steel cables, aramid fibers, or polyester cords to ensure stable performance under tension, abrasion, moisture, and temperature changes. The outer surface of the belt can be smooth or textured and is designed according to the application to prevent slippage and enhance grip.
Elevator belts are used across various industries, including agriculture, food processing, mining, high-rise buildings, and automated warehouses. Selecting the appropriate belt depends on factors such as load capacity, travel speed, lift height, environmental conditions, and the type of drive system. Using a high-quality, standard-compliant belt increases system safety and prevents unexpected downtimes or potential damage. Regular tension checks, inspection of joints, and periodic maintenance are essential for extending the service life and maximizing the efficiency of the elevator system.
