PRODUCT DETAILS
The Model A Roller Guide has been the elevator industry's gold standard for elevator ride quality for more than 45 years. Its outstanding performance, rugged durability, and extended application range make it our flagship product.

Model A roller guides are designed with a number of features that provide superior riding characteristics. Spring-loading in all directions and our unique "walking beam" design compensate for adverse operating conditions, bumps, and vibration. Simple adjustment procedures allow for customization to the specific challenges of the installation.

1. Six-Wheel Construction improves ride quality and extends the application range. The tandem roller design allows the guide to “step over” misaligned rail joints with only minimal disturbance to the cab and its occupants. And by using six wheels where most other guides use just three, the Model A can withstand the higher loads associated with service and hospital cars. The added stability also helps compensate for unbalanced conditions. 

2. Neoprene Rubber Roller Wheels
are specially compounded and rigorously tested to ensure a smooth, silent ride. Only genuine ELSCO neoprene wheels provide the damping characteristics essential to ride quality, and only genuine ELSCO wheels are engineered with high “memory” characteristics that prevent flat spots. ELSCO rollers are precision ground to within .002 inches (,051mm) “Total Indicator Reading” for perfect roundness and concentricity, then 100% inspected under stress to ensure a secure bond between tire and hub. 

3. Precision Ball Bearings
guarantee years of silent use. ELSCO specifies bearings intended for the high RPMs and demanding loads of electric motors – conditions far more rigorous than typically seen in elevator applications. This means that even after years of operation and tens of millions of cycles, only ELSCO roller wheels remain completely silent. Each bearing bore is machined to a tolerance of five ten-thousandths (.0005) of an inch (,127mm), and two bearings are pressed into each wheel by a computer-driven press, ensuring perfect fit and alignment. 

4. Fully Adjustable Stabilizing Springs
allow the car to float between the rails, eliminating the bumps and vibrations that adversely affect ride quality 

5. Adjustable Stops
enable precise control of the car’s overall postwise float between the rails. Adjustable stops are a standard feature on the Model A guide.

6. Durable Structural Components. ELSCO castings are made from high-tensile-strength ductile iron and aluminum for an optimal combination of strength, durability, and light weight. High quality guide hardware ensures long life and ease of adjustment in the field. All components are inspected and assembled to exacting standards for a lifetime of reliable performance
