Otis elevator door sliders, door vanes and door vane mechanisms form part of the elevator door operating system and are used for door guidance, alignment and door interaction functions within elevator applications. These products work alongside elevator car and landing door arrangements to help maintain controlled door movement and coordinated door operation.
Otis elevator door sliders provide lateral stability and guidance to elevator door panels during movement. Installed as part of the door arrangement, they help keep door panels vertical, aligned and properly guided throughout opening and closing operations.
Door Slider Variants include Door Slider 80/50, Door Slider 70 × 12 and additional variants referenced under OTDS01 - OTDS08.
Note: OTDS01 - OTDS08 are internal product reference codes used for identification and product selection purposes.
Otis elevator door vanes are metal blades or plates mounted as part of the elevator car door arrangement. They are used to mechanically engage and unlock landing doors when the elevator car is levelled at a floor, supporting coordinated door operation between the car and landing entrance.
Otis door vane assemblies are complete mechanisms mounted on top of the elevator car door and are responsible for engaging and unlocking landing doors during operation. Also referred to as door clutch or retiring cam assemblies, they coordinate the interaction between elevator car doors and landing doors at each floor.
Available door vane assembly variants include OTDV05, OTDV06 and OTDV07.
Note: These are internal product reference codes used for identification and product selection purposes.
