  • Rope wheel, traction wheel, elevator drive machinery and elevator
    Patent number: 11554937
    Abstract: The invention relates to a traction wheel for an elevator for driving plurality of belts, comprising a central axis; plurality of circular rim surfaces side by side in axial direction against each of which a belt can be placed to pass; and circular guide flanges on axial sides of each rim surface for guiding a belt placed to pass against the rim surface. Each of said guide flanges comprises a circular array of guide parts, plurality of which guide parts comprises a guide surface portion for guiding a belt, which guide surface portion is movable towards the central axis. The invention also relates to a drive machinery and an elevator implementing the traction wheel.
