Abstract: Sliding guide shoe for guiding a moving component in an elevator shaft, and an elevator comprising said sliding guide shoe. The sliding guide shoe comprises a frame part, comprising a supporting surface, and a sliding part disposed to be supported by the supporting surface. The supporting surface and the sliding part have contact through contact points where the supporting surface of the frame part is in contact with the outer surface of the sliding part. Said contact points are constituting a minor fraction of the corresponding surface of said outer surface of the sliding part and providing for at least one of the supporting surface and the sliding part capability to bend for absorbing guide rail imperfections.

Abstract: A roller guide assembly for an elevator device, the roller guide assembly comprising a base member having a mounting means for mounting to the elevator device, the base member comprising a shaft support member; a roller wheel for engaging a guide rail to be rolled on the guide rail; a shaft on which the roller wheel is bearing-mounted, the shaft being straight and non-rotatably supported by the shaft support member, and a vibration dampening element, the vibration dampening element comprising an elastomer body arranged between the shaft and the shaft support member for dampening vibration of the roller wheel and for isolating the vibration from the base member. The shaft is attached to the shaft support member by the vibration dampening element forming a single attachment point for the shaft. The elastomer body is configured to form an elastically spring-loaded universal joint for the attachment of the shaft to provide a universal degree of freedom of an angular movement of the shaft and the roller wheel in relation to the base member.

Abstract: A method for balancing an elevator car including a frame; a cabin box mounted on the frame; and a plurality of elastic members, such as springs, in vertical direction between the frame and the cabin box, via which elastic members the cabin box rests on the frame. The method includes measuring the vertical distance between the frame and the cabin box in several horizontally spaced apart locations with distance sensors; and adjusting the weight distribution of the cabin box by adding and/or removing weight elements on the cabin box. An arrangement for balancing an elevator car is provided to implement the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for auditing straightness of a car guide rail, the arrangement comprising: a car guide rail mounted in an elevator shaft; an elevator car connected to the car guide rail via a guide member, said guide member, in a straightness auditing mode being adapted so that the horizontal distance between the elevator car and the car guide rail to be audited is constant; a plumb line stabilized in the elevator shaft adjacent to the car guide rail; an indicator detachably attached to the elevator car, in vicinity of the plumb line; at least one visual recording device detachably attached to the elevator car, facing the plumb line and the indicator, for recording a displacement of the indicator relative to the plumb line; and a memory for storing recorded relative displacement. The invention also relates to a method for auditing straightness of a car guide rail.
