1. Secrets of the Elevator: How Traction Elevators Work. Traction elevators, the most common type of elevator in our daily lives, rely on friction between the wire rope and the rope grooves of the traction sheave to drive the car up and down. This system is simple and efficient, primarily used to lift and protect passengers.

2. Secrets of the Wire Ropes: The four thickened wire ropes not only provide lifting, but also provide added flexibility, reinforcement, and rust resistance. They are a critical component of elevator safety.

3. Safety Device: The light-type safety device utilizes steel mesh. When any beam of light is blocked, the control system immediately signals the door to open, ensuring passenger safety.

4. Car Buffers: In the event of an uncontrolled elevator bottoming out, the car buffers play a crucial role in cushioning the car and protecting passengers from injury.

5. Car Frame Securing: The car frame is the core component of the elevator, securing the car and ensuring passenger safety.

6. The Function of the Guide Shoes: The guide shoes ensure smooth sliding of the car on the guide rails, maintaining elevator stability.

7. Guide Rail Guidance: Like rails, guide rails guide the elevator car along the predetermined route, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the elevator.

8. Safety Front Car Overspeed Brake: When the elevator is moving too fast, the safety front car automatically brakes to ensure passenger safety.
