Friction Wheels - suitable with Kone Lifts

Friction Wheels for Kone Lifts FAQ

1. What are friction wheels used for in Kone lifts?
   Friction wheels are key components in Kone elevator systems. They facilitate smooth operation and accurate speed measurement by providing reliable contact between rotating parts (e.g., tachograph and generator wheels). This helps maintain consistent performance and safety in elevator operation.

2. What sizes of friction wheels are available for Kone lifts?

   • 37 mm Diameter: Intended for Kone elevators requiring a smaller friction wheel.
   • 75 mm Diameter: Suitable for systems that utilize a larger friction wheel.
     Both sizes are generally ex-stock, meaning they are available for immediate delivery.

3. How do I install the friction wheel in a Kone lift system?

   1. Power Down: Switch off the elevator system to avoid electrical hazards.
   2. Access the Component: Locate the friction wheel assembly in the machine room.
   3. Remove the Old Wheel: Loosen securing bolts or fasteners and carefully remove the existing wheel.
   4. Install the New Wheel: Position the replacement wheel, align any locking features, and secure it with the appropriate fasteners.
   5. Test the System: Turn the elevator back on and conduct a test run to ensure proper operation.

   Note: If you are unfamiliar with elevator maintenance procedures, it’s recommended to consult or hire a professional technician.

4. Are these friction wheels compatible with all Kone lift models?
   While these friction wheels are designed for a broad range of Kone elevator systems, it’s crucial to verify the specific requirements of your particular model. Consult your elevator’s technical manual or contact an elevator service professional to confirm compatibility.
