Machined Guide Rails And Hollow Guide Rails

Is the counterweight Machined guide rail of the elevator better to be hollow or solid?

1.In terms of durability and comfort: The machined guide rail is filled with solid material, which is more stable than the hollow guide rail and greatly improves the durability. The material of machined guide rails is not easily damaged after a fall, while hollow guide rails are hollow inside and relatively small in size. Their strength and stability are not as good as machined guide rails, and they are prone to bending or breaking, thus affecting the comfort of elevator operation.

2.In terms of safety: The filling material inside the machined guide rail is solid and integrated. The elevator is not easy to shake during travel, which can provide higher safety performance. Hollow guide rails may cause the elevator to shake during travel, and the safety and comfort are not as good as machined guide rails.

3.Easy to maintain: The solid material inside the machined guide rail requires less maintenance and can run for a long time. The interior of the hollow guide rail is hollow and requires regular cleaning and maintenance.

4.The advantages of hollow guide rails are: Low cost: The manufacturing cost of hollow guide rails is low, so the price is relatively low.
