Abstract: Elevator brake (2) with a brake shoe (4, 6) and a brake lining (10, 12) attached thereto, at least one brake lining temperature sensor (10, 12) arranged in the brake shoe (4, 6), at least one ambient temperature sensor (22), and a brake monitoring circuit (14) that is connected to and receives information from the temperature sensors (10, 12, 22), characterized by the fact that the brake lining temperature sensor (10, 12) has a generally cylindrical shape and a temperature-sensitive front end, by the fact that the brake lining temperature sensor (10, 12) is arranged in a through hole (28) in the brake shoe (4, 6) in such a way that its temperature-sensitive front end is generally 7 level with the contact surface (26) between the brake shoe (4, 6) and the brake lining (10, 12), and by the fact that the brake lining temperature sensor (10, 12) is insulated from the inner wall of the through hole (28).

Abstract: A chassis (11) for mounting component units (17, 19) of an electric switch cabinet for elevators and escalators, comprising at least one shaped part (15) serving as main supporting member, said shaped part being composed with a plastics material of lasting resetting force with respect to compression and being provided with at least one receiving recess (29, 31) for receiving a component unit (17) of a first type in substantially form-locking manner, and comprising at least one mounting rail (21) serving as auxiliary supporting member and anchored in the shaped part (15), said mounting rail (21), at least over a predetermined partial length thereof, being accessible in a free space (42) of the shaped part (15) for mounting at least one component unit (19) of a second type to said mounting rail (21), with said free space (42) being designed to selectively receive component units of the second type in different numbers, shapes and sizes.

Abstract: Elevator, exhibiting an elevator shaft (34) and a car (32) which is movably provided inside the elevator shaft (34), and a safety installation (2), which is designed in such a way that it can take the elevator out of service in a dangerous situation, characterized by the fact that the safety installation (2) is equipped with a shaft monitoring device.
