Sr. No. Application Area Fastener Types Primary Functions Materials Commonly Used Key Performance & Regulatory Factors
1 Elevator Car Frame & Platform Structural Bolts, Nuts, Washers, Rivets
  • Connect car frame beams and floor platform
  • Withstand static and dynamic loads (passengers, freight)
 High-tensile steel (Grade 8.8/10.9), zinc or phosphate coatings
  • ASME A17.1/CSA B44, EN 81 compliance for load capacity
  • Must endure significant cyclic stress
  • Regular inspections to detect fatigue or loose fasteners
  • Proper torqueing critical to prevent sudden shifts in the car frame
2 Guide Rails & Brackets Rail Clips, Anchor Bolts, Expansion Bolts, T-bolts
  • Secure guide rails to shaft walls
  • Maintain precise alignment for smooth elevator travel
 Carbon steel with hot-dip galvanizing or zinc plating
  • Strict adherence to tolerance for rail alignment
  • Vibration-resistant design to prevent rail misalignment
  • Compliance with building codes for structural attachments
  • Frequent checks of bolt torque and rail wear for passenger safety
3 Door Mechanisms & Operators Door Hanger Bolts, Rollers, Screws, Hinges, Quick-Release Fasteners
  • Attach door panels to hanger assemblies
  • Secure rollers, tracks, and linkages for automated door opening/closing
 Stainless steel (304/316) or zinc-plated steel
  • Must meet fire and emergency egress regulations
  • Ensure anti-finger entrapment design
  • Regular lubrication and torque checks to prevent door jamming
  • Safety sensors rely on stable fastener connections for correct operation
4 Safety Gear & Brake Assemblies Shear Bolts, Lock Nuts, Pivot Pins, Spring Pins
  • Engage emergency brakes on overspeed
  • Secure pivot points, linkages for safety gear activation
 Alloy steels (4140/4340) with heat treatment or special coatings
  • High reliability under emergency conditions
  • Compliance with overspeed governor requirements
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) or regular inspection for cracks
  • Must function in worst-case scenarios to prevent free fall or uncontrolled descent
5 Escalator Step Assemblies Step Bolts, Bushings, Clevis Pins, Axle Fasteners
  • Fix step treads, rollers, and axle shafts
  • Maintain step alignment along the escalator track
 Hardened steel, sometimes with polymer bushings or nylon inserts
  • Continuous cycle usage with high passenger volumes
  • Must withstand impact from foreign objects (debris)
  • Compliance with ASME A17.1/CSA B44 for escalators
  • Frequent checks to prevent step misalignment or breakage
6 Handrails & Balustrades Handrail Anchor Bolts, Clamps, Screws, Brackets
  • Secure handrails to escalator frame or elevator car
  • Provide passenger stability and safety
 Stainless steel (304/316) for visible parts, galvanized steel
  • Tamper-resistant or concealed fasteners to protect passengers
  • Must comply with handrail height and building codes
  • Regular checks for loosening or damage
  • Smooth, flush finishes to avoid snagging clothing or injuring passengers
7 Gearbox & Motor Mounting High-Torque Bolts, Motor Base Screws, Coupling Bolts
  • Attach lift or escalator drive motor and gearbox to a base frame
  • Transfer torque and handle vibration
 High-tensile steel (10.9 or 12.9), black oxide or zinc coatings
  • Vibration isolation required (dampers or rubber mounts)
  • Compliance with machine room or machine space standards
  • Torque must be carefully set for stable alignment
  • Regular checks to prevent misalignment
8 Control Cabinet & Paneling Captive Screws, Panel Fasteners, Hinges, Locking Nuts
  • Secure electronic controls, drive inverters, safety relays
  • Provide easy access for maintenance but prevent unauthorized tampering
 Plated steel (zinc, nickel), stainless steel, sometimes plastic
  • Must meet electrical enclosure standards (IP/NEMA ratings)
  • Lockable or tamper-proof designs for critical safety circuits
  • EMI/RFI shielding requirements in modern control systems
  • Accessibility for emergency manual override
9 Personnel & Equipment Elevators Guide Rail Bolts, Car Frame Bolts, Safety Brake Bolts, Anchor Supports
  • Attach guide rails and cages for vertical transport
  • Ensure safe operation under heavy loads (equipment + workers)
 High-tensile steel (Grade 8.8/10.9), galvanized or epoxy-coated as needed
  • Mining elevator safety codes (e.g., ASME A17.1 or local equivalents if adapted for mine use)
  • Frequent torque checks and non-destructive testing for brake assemblies
  • High reliability to avoid entrapment or drops
10 Shotcrete & Lining Systems Rebar Couplers, Mesh Clips, Embedded Anchors, Expansion Fasteners
  • Attach reinforcing mesh or rebar for shotcrete
  • Secure concrete lining or segmental lining in large tunnels
 Steel anchors (zinc-plated or galvanized), stainless steel in severe conditions
  • Rock stability codes require adequate support coverage
  • Continuous exposure to cementitious and wet conditions
  • Must handle dynamic ground movement and maintain bond with concrete or shotcrete

Deep-Dive: Safety & Environmental Considerations

By carefully selecting robust materials, correct coatings, and reliable locking methods—and adhering to mine/tunnel-specific safety regulations—operators can achieve safe, efficient, and cost-effective operations in these demanding environments.
