Abstract: An elevator installation wherein damage to a support for an elevator car and a counterweight, in particular damage to a sheath of the support, advantageously can be detected. At the elevator installation, a housing at least partially extending around the support, for example at a deflecting roller arrangement. A surface of the housing facing the support is electrically conductive and is electrically grounded. If the support or a wire coming out of the damaged support comes in contact with the housing, an electrical ground fault results. The ground fault can be detected by a security monitoring unit by monitoring a current flowing through the wires of the support, and the damage to the support can thus be inferred.

Abstract: A supporting belt for an elevator installation has at least one elongate load-bearing element, a casing surrounding the load-bearing element and multiple sensors. The sensors are arranged on the belt at multiple positions spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal direction of the belt. The sensors each determine at least one physical characteristic of the load-bearing element in a region locally adjacent to the respective sensor and output a signal indicating the physical characteristic. For example, a sensor may determine a local expansion, a local bending, a local acceleration, a locally acting force, a local temperature and/or an electrical conductivity at, in or through the belt. The state of the belt can thereby be determined not only as an average for the entire belt but with regard to multiple positions along the length of the belt, enabling an improved determination regarding discard criteria of the belt.

Abstract: A support apparatus is guided in an elevator installation via a drive and a deflecting roller. A cover is arranged at the deflecting roller. The support apparatus running in or running out at the deflecting roller is at least partly covered by the cover. The cover is monitored by a monitoring device so that deformation of the cover by the support apparatus is ascertainable.

Abstract: In an elevator installation a belt-like support is guided over a drive and over at least one deflecting roller. The deflecting roller includes an inner ring and an outer ring with a traction surface. The belt-like support loads the deflecting roller in a direction of loading, wherein the direction of loading is oriented substantially perpendicularly to an axis of the deflecting roller. The outer ring is mounted on the inner ring to be movable in axial direction so that in the case of a change in the direction of loading by an angle α the outer ring similarly inclines substantially through the angle α, whereby a perpendicular orientation of the direction of the loading with respect to the traction surface is substantially maintained.

Abstract: An apparatus for guiding and braking an elevator system traveling body movable along a guide track includes a holder fastened to the body, a guide device and a braking device. The holder transmits guiding forces between the guide device, guided on at least one track surface in the longitudinal direction, and the body. The guide device is held on and is elastically movable relative to the holder transverse to the longitudinal direction by at least a predetermined tolerance distance. The braking device includes a carrier and a braking element movable between a deactivated configuration, in which a braking surface of the braking element is laterally spaced apart from the guide track, and an activated configuration, in which the braking surface abuts the guide track, in a reversible manner by an activation distance transverse to the guide track. The carrier of the braking device is rigidly coupled to the guide device.

Abstract: A roller guide shoe for guiding an elevator car or a counterweight includes a support structure formed as a plastics injection-molded part, guide rollers, and lever elements arranged between the support structure and the guide rollers. The respective lever element is an integral molded body made of a plastics material, and applies a preload for the guide roller as a bending part. The lever elements inserted into associated joint cams of the support structure, wherein each joint cam engages in a recess on the associated lever element to predefine an articulation axis. Each lever element has two lever arms that define a V-shape.

Abstract: A method and a catching device are used to catch a traveling body in an elevator system wherein traveling body is movable along a rail. The catching device includes a first braking element, a second braking element, a first guide element, a second guide element and an actuating element. The first braking element and the second braking element are brought into contact with the rail for braking. A first linear bearing is formed between the first braking element and the first guide element and a second linear bearing is formed between the second braking element and the second guide element. Both guide elements are moved between a rest position and a braking initial position, the actuating element moving the two guide elements from the rest position into the braking initial position.

Abstract: A sliding guide shoe for an elevator has a guide shoe housing and an insert inserted into the guide shoe housing for guiding an elevator car or a counterweight. In order to positionally secure the insert, the insert has profiled pins that engage in bores in the guide shoe housing. In order to form the profiling, the pins each have radially outwardly directed ribs or projections that are distributed evenly over the circumference.

Abstract: A roller for an elevator system has a roller body made of a metal material and a shell made of a POM material forming a running surface of the elevator roller. The shell and the roller body each have a wave profile running in a circumferential direction on a shared contact surface, wherein the shell has, on the running surface, a V-ribbed profile aligned with the wave profile of the roller body that has a rib spacing which substantially corresponds to a wave spacing of the wave profile. The elevator roller is manufactured using a molding process.
