The Main Factors of Designing the Industrial Fabrics for Metro Escalator Handrails

Abstract

The article presents the main factors in the design of technical fabric for replacing steel cables in the handles of the subway escalator. The cable system occupies the central part in the handle and is the supporting element of the composite. The results of the work show that the ropes work almost independently of the load. When installing and repairing the handles, the rope is secured with a bandage. Increased friction and heat generation occurs when driving on difficult road sections. Balance layers are often damaged. The special fabric tapes made by us from hybrid yarns with enhanced physical and mechanical properties meet the design requirements.
