Why are elevator aluminum core wheels so popular?

1. Core functional characteristics of elevator aluminum core wheels
Material advantages: The aluminum core wheel is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, with a density of only 1/3 of that of steel, which significantly reduces the weight of the aluminum core wheel itself and the load of the elevator drive motor, thereby reducing energy loss.
Bearing configuration: With deep groove ball bearings, it ensures stable transmission under high load.
Damping structure: Some aluminum core wheels have built-in polymer damping rings or polyurethane coatings to alleviate the impact vibration in the step chain transmission, greatly reduce the operating noise, and improve passenger comfort.
Integrated molding: The wheel core and the bearing seat are processed as one piece to eliminate welding stress and avoid abnormal vibration caused by metal fatigue.
The surface of the elevator aluminum core wheel is anodized to enhance the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy. It can be used in humid, salt spray and other environments, and its service life can reach more than 5 years.
Easy maintenance: The wheel core or bearing can be replaced separately to avoid overall scrapping and reduce maintenance costs.

2. Performance advantages
High-strength public facilities: In high-frequency use scenarios such as subway stations and airports, aluminum core wheels can withstand an average of 18 hours of operation per day, and their lifespan is extended to 100,000 hours.
Lightweight and energy-saving: The aluminum core wheel has a low weight. After the overall weight of the elevator is reduced, the power consumption of the motor is reduced, which meets the requirements of green building certification.
Recyclable materials: Aluminum alloy can be 100% recycled, and the recycled energy consumption is only 5% of the original aluminum, which is in line with the concept of green sustainable development.
Anti-deformation design: The wheel rim reinforcement rib structure improves the lateral anti-deformation ability to prevent the elevator from running off or jamming, affecting the operation of the elevator.
Anti-adhesion coating: The surface of the elevator aluminum core wheel is coated with an anti-adhesion coating to reduce running resistance.
