Which Traction Steel Belt Safeguards Elevator Safety?

In recent months, elevator safety incidents caused by wear on traction steel belts have been frequently reported. From the Yunchengcheng community, where two OTIS traction elevator units had severely aged and cracked steel belts, to the General Assembly Building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where rust and cracks were found on the steel belts of their OTIS traction elevator systems, the safety of elevator traction systems has once again become a focus of public attention—faced with such potential risks, which traction steel belt can effectively eliminate hidden dangers and ensure the safe operation of OTIS traction elevator? The answer lies in the OTIS BRUGG AAA717AM2 OTIS belt, a star product trusted by the industry.

As a core component matching the OTIS Gen2 motor and OTIS Gen2 series elevators, the BRUGG AAA717AM2 OTIS belt is a result of in-depth cooperation between OTIS and BRUGG. Different from traditional steel wire ropes, this high-performance OTIS belt adopts a polyurethane coating design, with ultra-thin fine steel cords from Bekaert embedded inside. This innovative structure not only makes the traction sheave of the OTIS drive and OTIS motor smaller in size, allowing the OTIS traction elevator to get rid of the constraints of large machine rooms and saving building design space, but also significantly improves the durability and flexibility of the OTIS belt. According to relevant data, compared with traditional steel wire ropes, the BRUGG AAA717AM2 OTIS belt can reduce maintenance costs of OTIS traction elevators by nearly 30% during the entire service life, and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maintenance process, which is in line with the industry's concept of green and low-carbon development.

In terms of technical parameters, the BRUGG AAA717AM2 OTIS belt has outstanding performance that perfectly adapts to OTIS drive and OTIS motor systems. It has a width of 30mm, a thickness of 3.2mm, 10 cores, and a tensile force of 43kN. This strong load-bearing capacity enables it to cope with the daily operation needs of various types of OTIS traction elevators in hotels, apartments, office buildings, hospitals, and other places. At the same time, the product provides a 24-month warranty period, which provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the OTIS traction elevator and the peace of mind of users. It is worth noting that when replacing this OTIS belt, all steel belts of theOTIS traction elevator must be replaced as a whole; replacing only one section may lead to unbalanced stress on the OTIS drive and OTIS motor, thereby causing serious elevator accidents, which is a key point that must be paid attention to in the construction process.

In practical applications, the BRUGG AAA717AM2 OTIS belt has won wide recognition in the OTIS traction elevator maintenance and renovation industry. In the Yunchengcheng community OTIS traction elevator steel belt replacement project, the selected steel belt model is exactly the AAA717AM2 OTIS belt. Before construction, the construction unit specially evaluated the cause of abnormal wear of the original steel belt in combination with the operation status of the OTIS drive and OTIS motor, and formulated a targeted improvement plan. After the overall replacement of the OTIS belt, all OTIS traction elevator units quickly resumed safe and stable operation, and the residents' travel safety was effectively guaranteed. In the General Assembly Building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the replacement of the AAA717AM2 OTIS belt also effectively eliminated the potential safety hazards caused by rust and cracks of the original steel belt, ensuring the normal operation of the OTIS traction elevator and the smooth progress of scientific research work.
