The invention discloses a
traction system for a traction type
elevator. The
traction system comprises a rack, a traction
machine and a guide
pulley, a
crosshead sheave arranged at the top of a lift car, a counterweight mechanism used for balancing the weight of the lift car, and a traction
rope, wherein the rack comprises a traction rack used for mounting the traction
machine, and a guide
pulley support which can move horizontally and is arranged on a
machine bearing beam; the traction rack is symmetric about the
central line, in parallel to the extension direction of the machine bearing beam, of the traction rack; the guide
pulley support can be erected on the machine bearing beam in a steering and adjusting manner according to the arrangement of a traction sheave in the horizontal direction, so that the guide pulley positioned on the guide pulley support is positioned on the same plane as the traction sheave. According to the invention, on one hand, the
traction system can adjust the space between the
crosshead sheave and a counterweight pulley so as to meet the mounting requirement; on the other hand, the traction
system can solve the problem that
elevator devices cannot be mounted as a preformed hole is formed in the wrong position during a mounting process, therefore, the traction
system is good in universality, and facilitates
mass production, modularization and standardized production.
