    Abstract: An elevator includes a hoistway, an elevator car and a counterweight vertically movable in the hoistway, a drive machine including a drive sheave, a roping including one or more ropes between the elevator car and the counterweight and passing around the drive sheave and suspending the elevator car and the counterweight. The drive sheave is positioned in the hoistway space between a hoistway wall and the vertical projection of the car, the drive sheave rotation plane being at least substantially parallel to the hoistway wall. The rope(s) is/are belt-like, each including at least one force transmission parts for transmitting force in the longitudinal direction of the rope, which force transmission part is made of composite material including reinforcing fibers in a polymer matrix. The reinforcing fibers are carbon fibers, and the force transmission part has width larger than thickness thereof as measured in width-direction of the rope.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing condition data of an elevator rope. The method comprises: using current state condition data representing a condition of the elevator rope for the length of the elevator rope in a current state and condition change data indicating at least one potential change in the condition of the elevator rope as input data of a rope condition model; processing the input data with the rope condition model to provide output data comprising condition data of the elevator rope in a new state; and utilizing the provided condition data of the elevator rope to update the current state condition data or in an elevator call allocation process. The invention relates also to an elevator computing system and a computer program product for providing condition data of an elevator rope.

    Abstract: A tension member tension monitoring arrangement and method for measuring tension member tension of elevator tension members of a bundle of tension members, the elevator comprising an elevator car suspended by the tension members, such as ropes or belts, of the bundle of tension members, a termination at one end of a tension member and a mounting plate for attaching the termination relative to the hoistway, counterweight and/or the elevator. The tension member tension monitoring arrangement comprises at least one capacitive pressure sensor arranged in connection with a tension member termination. The arrangement further comprises a control unit connected to the at least one sensor. The at least one sensor is configured to sense the tension member forces of the tension members of the bundle of tension members attached to the tension member termination and generate a signal relating to one or more tension members of the tension member bundle readable and/or measurable by the control unit and proportional to the sensed load or force.
