Guide Shoe & Insert - KONE Elevator Parts

KONE Elevator Guide Shoe & Insert

Within a sliding guide shoe assembly, the KONE elevator guide shoe insert serves as the contact surface between the assembly and the guide rail. These inserts are used in selected KONE elevator systems and are available in different configurations depending on the application.

Unlike roller-based guidance arrangements, sliding guide shoes use inserts as part of their design. Because these inserts are separate components, they can be replaced when required without changing the complete guide shoe assembly. Different insert types may be used depending on the elevator model and guide shoe configuration.

FAQ

1. How do I find out which size I currently have?
You can check the part number or measure the existing insert to help find the correct replacement.

2. Why should I buy just the insert instead of the whole guide shoe?
Because the guide shoe insert is a separate component within the guide shoe assembly. In many cases, the insert can be replaced without changing the entire assembly.

3. Can I use a 10mm insert on a 16mm rail?
No. Guide shoe inserts are available in different sizes and configurations. It is important to match the replacement insert with the specifications of the existing component.

4. What is its main role of a guide shoe insert?
A guide shoe insert sits between the guide shoe and guide rail and helps them work together during elevator travel.
