Although elevator guide shoe liner and elevator guide shoe both play important roles in the elevator system, their functions and locations are different.

The relationship of them: the guide shoe liner is part of the guide shoe.

Elevator guide shoe liner

1.Function: The main function of the elevator guide shoe liner is to reduce the friction between the elevator car and the hoist way guide rail,thereby reducing the resistance during elevator operation and making the elevator rise and fall more smoothly.

2.Material: Elevator guide shoe liner is usually made of rubber, polymer nylon or other wear-resistant materials. Its bottom is connected to the elevator car, while the top is in contact with the hoist way guide rail.

3.Position: The elevator guide shoe liner is part of the guide shoe,generally located in the middle of the guide shoe and directly in contact with the hoist way guide rail. Its design helps reduce friction between the elevator car and the guide rails during ascent and descent.

Elevator guide shoe

1.Function: The main function of the elevator guide shoe is to provide positioning and guidance in the elevator system to ensure that the elevator car maintains a stable and accurate position during vertical movement.

2.Material: Elevator guide shoes are usually made of high-strength materials such as metal alloys to ensure their structural stability and durability.

3.Position: The elevator guide shoe is located at the bottom of the elevator car and is connected to the hoist way guide rail through sliders and other components. Its design helps maintain the correct connection between the elevator car and the guide rails during elevator operation,maintaining balance and stability.

In general, the elevator guide shoe liner is mainly used to reduce friction to improve the operating efficiency of the elevator, while the elevator guide shoe is mainly responsible for positioning and guiding to ensure that the elevator car remains stable and safe during operation. The two work together in the elevator system to provide passengers with smooth and safe vertical transportation services.
