Installation location: Elevator door sliders are usually installed at the bottom of the landing door panels and car door panels. The number of elevator door sliders installed depends on the width of the elevator doors. Generally, one elevator door panel usually has 2 elevator door sliders. They are distributed on both sides of the bottom of the elevator door to ensure smooth operation and stability of the door.
The main functions of elevator door sliders:
1. Guidance function: The elevator door slider is used to guide the movement of the elevator door to ensure that the door moves along the correct path during opening and closing. Helps avoid door deviation or jamming, ensuring that passengers do notexperience unnecessary bumps or vibrations when entering and exiting the elevator.
2. Alignment function: The elevator door slider also plays a role in ensuring the correct alignment of the elevator car door and landing door. Correct alignment is an important factor in ensuring that the elevator door can close smoothly and prevent people or objects from being trapped. The slider uses guide rails or other designs to keep the elevator door in a stable position during movement and will not deviate from the track or become misaligned.
3. Safety function: The design and installation of elevator door sliders are crucial to the safety of the elevator. If the slider falls off, the door leaf will be poorly fixed and the door panel will shake and get stuck during operation. In severe cases,the door panel will derail and fall forward or backward, hitting passengers. By ensuring smooth movement and proper alignment of the door, elevator door sliders also help reduce the occurrence of pinch injuries or other safety issues, improving elevator safety overall.
4.Reduce friction: Elevator door sliders usually use smooth materials, such as nylon or other materials with good lubricating properties, to reduce friction during the movement of the door. Helps improve elevator door operating efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
5. Extend the life of the elevator door: By reducing friction, providing support and guidance, the elevator door slider helps reduce wear on the door system, thereby extending the service life of the elevator door.
