Otis elevator steel cables, steel strips, door belts, belt monitoring devices and traction machines are associated with elevator movement, suspension, door operation and monitoring functions. The range includes cable, belt and related components used in selected traction elevator and door operating systems.
Otis elevator steel cables are used within traction elevator systems to suspend and support the movement of elevator cars and counterweights.
Otis elevator steel strips are flat belt components associated with elevator suspension and movement arrangements in selected elevator systems.
Otis elevator door belts are associated with door operating arrangements and are used to transmit movement within selected elevator door systems.
Otis traction belt detection devices are monitoring components associated with traction belt arrangements used in selected elevator systems. These products are available in different configurations for belt monitoring and maintenance-related applications.
Otis elevator traction machines are electro-mechanical units that provide the power and motion required to raise and lower elevator cars and counterweights within traction elevator systems. Often described as the driving unit of the elevator system, they are associated with elevator movement and control functions.
1. Why do some elevator systems use steel strips instead of traditional cables?
Steel strips and steel cables are different suspension technologies used within selected elevator systems and applications.
2. Why are traction belt detection devices used in elevator systems?
Traction belt detection devices are associated with the monitoring of traction belt arrangements within selected elevator systems.
3. Are steel cables and door belts used for the same purpose?
No. Steel cables are associated with elevator suspension and movement functions, while door belts are associated with door operating arrangements.
4. What is the difference between a traction machine and a traction belt detection device?
A traction machine provides the power required for elevator movement, while a traction belt detection device is associated with monitoring traction belt arrangements.
