Elevator Sheave Regrooving and Machining

Sheave regrooving and machining is an important elevator maintenance procedure focused on restoring the precise grooves in elevator sheaves. Sheaves are pulley-like wheels that guide the steel cables used in traction elevators. Over time, continuous friction between the steel ropes and the sheave causes the grooves to become worn, uneven, or excessively smooth, leading to reduced traction, increased cable slippage, uneven wear on hoist ropes, and inefficient elevator operation.

Renown Electric uses specialized precision machining equipment to accurately restore the grooves to their optimal dimensions and shape, which maximizes the elevator system’s performance, enhances safety, and significantly prolongs rope life. By carefully measuring groove wear and re-machining the sheave to original specifications, Renown’s technicians ensure smooth and reliable elevator travel, preventing costly rope replacements and downtime.
