Premium Lubricated Steel Wire Rope for Elevator Traction & Lift Systems
The Elevator Traction Cable with Lubrication is a high-performance steel wire rope engineered for modern elevator traction systems that require smooth operation, low friction, extended service life, and reliable performance. Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel and treated with high-quality internal and external lubricants, this traction cable minimizes wear between wires and strands while ensuring stable traction throughout continuous elevator operation.
Designed for passenger elevators, freight elevators, high-speed lifts, and commercial building elevator systems, the rope delivers excellent flexibility, low elongation, superior fatigue resistance, and reduced maintenance costs.
Product Features
Advanced Lubrication Technology
Premium lubrication is applied during manufacturing to penetrate both the rope core and outer strands, providing:
Reduced internal friction
Lower operating temperatures
Extended fatigue life
Reduced wire wear
Improved corrosion protection
Longer maintenance intervals
The lubrication also contributes to quieter elevator operation and smoother traction.
Excellent Traction Performance
Precision-manufactured strands ensure:
Stable traction with drive sheaves
Accurate floor leveling
Reduced slippage
Uniform load distribution
Smooth elevator movement
High Tensile Strength
Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel with nominal tensile grades of:
1370 MPa
1570 MPa
1770 MPa
1960 MPa
to accommodate various elevator system designs.
Outstanding Fatigue Resistance
Optimized rope construction allows the cable to withstand millions of bending cycles while maintaining structural integrity and consistent traction performance.
Low Elongation
High dimensional stability minimizes rope stretch during service, improving leveling accuracy and reducing the need for frequent adjustments.
Multiple Core Options
Available with:
Fiber Core (FC) – Excellent flexibility and lubricant retention.
Sisal Fiber Core (SFC) – Superior vibration damping and lubrication absorption.
Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) – Higher breaking strength and greater dimensional stability.
Corrosion Protection Options
Available in:
Bright (Ungalvanized)
Electro Galvanized
Customized lubrication formulations are available for humid environments, high-duty applications, or specific customer requirements.
