Guide rail clip bolts connect and secure elevator guide rails. Different elevator applications and load requirements call for different rail and fastening arrangements. Selecting the correct bolts is therefore essential.
How to Specify Guide Rail Clip Bolts
The range includes T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. Higher model numbers generally indicate larger and heavier clip bolts intended for the corresponding guide rail profiles.
Start with the rail model. The original article lists T45/A, T50/A and T65/A with T1 clip bolts, and T140-1/B and T140-2/B with T5. Because the site’s product table lists T45/A and T50/A for T1, the T65/A reference should be checked against the approved drawing before ordering. The fastening arrangement must match the actual rail design.
Selection Tips
1. Choose suitable materials. Carbon steel or alloy steel is commonly used to provide the specified strength and wear resistance.
2. Calculate quantities carefully. Rail installation normally requires multiple fasteners distributed according to the design. An incorrect quantity can delay installation and delivery.
3. Confirm the customer’s specification. Elevator manufacturers may have different requirements for strength, dimensions and finishes, such as zinc plating or black oxide. Agree these details before ordering so that production can be arranged accordingly.
Xinyi recommends involving the responsible technical engineer when specifying guide rail clip bolts. Correct selection is necessary to meet the installation and operating requirements.
