Abstract: An elevator parking brake, a method for operating an elevator parking brake, and a control device for an elevator parking brake are provided. The elevator parking brake includes a parking brake frame attachable to an elevator car, a brake pad configured to be brought in contact with a guide rail guiding the elevator car along an elevator shaft, and an actuating mechanism mounted on the parking brake frame, for bringing the brake pad in contact with the guide rail and retracting the brake pad from the guide rail. The actuating mechanism includes a motor, an actuating member and a conversion mechanism configured to convert a rotational movement of the motor into a linear movement of the actuating member. The actuating member brings the brake pad in contact with the guide rail and retracts the brake pad from the guide rail. The conversion mechanism includes a cam mechanism having a cam member driven to rotate by the rotational movement of the motor, wherein a driving profile of the cam member is in contact with the actuating member. The driving profile is configured to convert the rotational movement of the cam member into the linear movement of the actuating member.

Abstract: The arrangement comprises a self-climbing installation platform comprising two consecutive decks, a machine room deck suspended from the installation platform and an elevator car suspended from the machine room deck. Each deck, the machine room deck and the car are supported movably with guide means on guide rails and locked and unlocked with locking means to the guide rails and/or to guide rail fixing means. Lifting means powered by a power source move the two decks in relation to each other. The installation platform climbs stepwise along the guide rails by alternatingly locking and unlocking the lower deck and the upper deck to the guide rails and/or to the guide rail fixing means and thereafter raising the unlocked deck.
