A Surface Composite Coating Elevator Safety Gear Wedge

Abstract:

In this paper, an elevator safety gear wedge with surface metal-ceramic composite coatings is proposed. After composite coating, the friction performance of the elevator safety gear wedge is very stable at high temperature, because of high hardness and high temperature oxidation resistance of coating material. And the friction coefficient becomes small by coating ceramic. In this research, six samples with different coating are prepared. These samples are installed in elevator safety system, and related speed parameters and stopping distance of elevator are tested. A conclusion can be drawn that sample 4 with 45# steel substrate and NiCrBSi-60 coating has a suitable friction coefficient, and the deceleration of elevator is controlled in the range of 0.2 to 1.0g when sample is installed in safety gear system.
