The traction sheave is the core transmission component of the elevator traction system and the core power carrier for the elevator to realize the car lifting operation. It is directly related to the safety, stability, and reliability of elevator operation, and is also the core control object in the whole life cycle maintenance, annual inspection, and parts replacement of elevators.

As the core structure of elevator power transmission, the traction sheave drives the car and counterweight to complete lifting actions through the friction between rope grooves and steel wire ropes. Its material strength, rope groove machining accuracy, and wear resistance directly affect the elevator’s operating noise and braking stability.

When rope groove wear exceeds the limit, it will also cause serious safety hazards such as wire rope slipping and car sliding, so it is a core mandatory inspection item for daily elevator patrol and annual inspection.

As a high-frequency wearing part, the elevator traction wheel must be replaced in time when it reaches the wear limit. To ensure adaptability and safety after replacement, the core is to match the original factory design parameters accurately.

The key information to be confirmed includes:
