Wear analysis of elevator brake shoe

The brake is the key equipment to ensure the safe operation of the elevator. Failure of the elevator brake will lead to a slide accident. This paper takes the elevator brake shoe, which has been used for more than 15 years, as the research object, and systematically analyzes its wear characteristics. The research results show that most of the brake shoes have obvious scratches, and some of them even have cracks. Therefore, in the daily maintenance of the elevator, pay special attention to the wear state of the brake shoe to ensure the safe operation of the elevator brake.
