Escalators are essential components of modern infrastructure in malls, airports, commercial buildings, and public spaces. But behind their seamless vertical movement lies a system of critical mechanical and electrical escalator parts that require careful selection and regular maintenance.
In this article, we’ll explore all the essential escalator components, tips for selecting the right ones, top global brands, and how to buy genuine parts online with confidence.
Escalators are complex machines built from interconnected mechanical and control systems. Below are the key components:
1.1 Escalator Step Chains
Responsible for step movement along the escalator track; these must be strong, flexible, and durable.

1.4 Control Boards and Panels
Control the system’s speed, emergency stop functions, and safety sensors.
