Part design:
For 150 years, elevators have been produced in a wide
range of different designs, which have always been suspended on
steel cables. Otis is now supplying elevators for the very first
time on which the steel ropes have been replaced by thermoplastic
polyurethane belts in Desmopan® with steel
cores.
The belts offer a high resistance to
tearing and will withstand high loads. The PU belts from the
"Gen 2" product series contain more steel wires than
conventional steel cables. The high-strength, fine and thin wires
are encased in Desmopan®.
The
profiled belts, which are the same width and thickness as trouser
belts, are noted for the following properties:
| > | considerably greater flexibility |
| > | good low-temperature impact strength |
| > | excellent bonding to metals |
| > | one fifth lighter in weight and 2 to 3 times
longer-lived than steel cables |
| > | very high tensile strength |
| > | load-bearing capacity of a belt: 3600 kg |
| > | better traction due to a greater supporting surface |
| > | smaller motors can be used |
| > | quieter running and more silent operation |
| > | longer servicing intervals and freedom from corrosion |
| > | lower wear thanks to optimum friction pairing |
Otis itself describes the introduction of the PU belt as
marking a new generation in elevator technology.
Two eminent designer prizes have been
awarded in Hanover.
