PE 1000 Polyethylene Guide Shoe Insert

PE 1000 polyethylene guide shoe insert is made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE).
It is designed for elevator guide shoe systems operating under high-speed and heavy-load conditions.

Its very hard, low-friction structure supports smooth guide rail contact, high wear resistance, impact strength,
and long service life.
