    Abstract: An elevator system having a hoistway having a bottom landing with landing doors. An elevator car is in the hoistway, and a safety chain is coupled to the car and is in an open-state to stop the car and otherwise in an intact-state. A first sensor wirelessly transmits a first signal when the car is at the bottom landing, and a second sensor transmits a second signal when the doors are open. The system includes a control circuit including a first control element that receives the first signal indicating the car is at the bottom landing and a second control element that receives the second signal indicating the landing doors are open, and the control circuit changes state upon receipt of the signals, and the safety chain transitions to the open-state from the intact state when the control circuit changes state.

    Abstract: A frictionless electronic safety actuator (100) for use in an elevator system, which includes at least one electromagnet (110), and a magnetic plate (120) attached to a connection arrangement (190). The connection arrangement (190) is configured to connect the magnetic plate (120; 220) to a linkage (80) that is actuatable so as to move a safety brake (24) into frictional engagement with an elevator guide rail (20). The at least one electromagnet (110) is operable to selectively produce a magnetic force which acts upon the magnetic plate (120) to displace the magnetic plate (120) and thereby move the connection arrangement (190) to actuate the linkage (80) without the magnetic plate (120) coming into frictional engagement with the elevator guide rail (20).
