Abstract: A compensating means is guided between an elevator cage and a counterweight on the counterweight side by a guide device and monitored by a monitoring device.

Abstract: An end-fastener for fastening a suspension device of an elevator system has a housing which contains two side walls. The end-fastener has at least two essentially cylindrical wrap-round elements for fastening the suspension device, wherein the wrap-round elements each extend between the two side walls. The second wrap-round element is embodied as a movable bolt which can be inserted into the housing. The end-fastener includes a fixing element which can be mounted on the housing for fixing the second wrap-round element in its position in the housing. The fixing element is embodied in such manner that it engages in at least one groove of the second wrap-round element that comes to lie between the side walls of the housing.

Abstract: An elevator system includes a car or platform to transport passengers and/or goods as well as a counterweight, which are arranged as traversable or movable along a travel path, and which are coupled and/or with a drive by a suspension element interrelating their motion. The suspension element is guided and/or driven by a traction sheave and/or a drive shaft and/or a deflecting pulley. The suspension element is a sheathed and/or belt-type, with a first layer made of a first plasticizable and/or elastomeric material and a second layer with a connection plane formed between the first and second layers. At least one tension member—rope-type, tissue-type, or comprising a multitude of partial elements—is embedded in an area of the connection plane, a majority of a surface of said at least one tension member directly contacting said first layer. A manufacturing procedure for one of the suspension elements is provided.

Abstract: An end-connector for fastening a flat-belt type suspension device of an elevator system comprises a housing with two side walls and a first and a second wrapping element each of which extends between the two side walls and is wrappable by the flat-belt type suspension device in a specified arrangement so as to hold the suspension means fast in the end-connector by frictional engagement. Marked on at least one of the two side walls on the outside that faces away from the wrapping elements is the specified arrangement of the suspension device.

Abstract: A cable slackness monitoring device has a pull cord to detect movement of support pins associated with the cables. In the case of a slack cable the support pin moves downwardly relative to a carrier frame. Fixedly clamped between a nut and a locknut is a trigger element which engages the pull cord in the case of movement of the support pin. The pull cord is fixed at one end to a fixing point of a bracket, and is, and is connected at the other end to a displaceable slide. The deflection of the taut pull cord caused by the movement of the support pin moves the slide, actuating a limit value detection.
