An elevator guide rail block assembly configured for use with an elevator car or counterweight guide rail is provided. The elevator guide rail block assembly includes a framework and a plurality of rotatable cams attached to the framework. An actuator element is configured to actuate rotation of the plurality of rotatable cams. A clamp structure is attached to the framework and spaced apart from the plurality of rotatable cams. In a rotated orientation, the combination of the plurality of rotatable cams and the clamp structure form a clamping action configured to secure the elevator guide rail block assembly to an elevator car or counterweight guide rail.

A working device for carrying out fitting or maintenance work in an elevator shaft includes at least one working platform having a standing surface and a railing. The standing surface affords space for at least one person and the railing at least partially encloses the standing surface. The working device also includes at least one additional platform that is attachable to the railing of the working platform, and wherein the additional platform affords an additional standing surface for at least one person. The additional standing surface is arranged above the railing of the working platform.

A mounting frame for being displaced and fixed in a shaft has a main frame, a first primary fixing component for supporting the mounting frame on a first shaft wall of the shaft and a secondary fixing component for supporting the mounting frame on a second shaft wall of the shaft opposite the first shaft wall in a fixing direction during fixing of the mounting frame in the shaft. The first primary fixing component and the secondary fixing component are arranged on the main frame. The first primary fixing component and/or the main frame can assume a transport position and a working position. A change of the first primary fixing component and/or the main frame from its working position to its transport position leads to a reduction in an extension of the mounting frame in an extension direction that differs from the fixing direction.

A mounting frame for displacing and fixing in a shaft includes a support component for support against a first shaft wall during displacement in the shaft and is arranged on a main frame so as to be at least partially movable in a fixing direction relative to the main frame. The support component can assume a fixing position and a displacement position, with no part of a support surface being spaced further outward in the fixing direction, i.e. toward the first shaft wall, from the main frame in the fixing position than a fixing surface of a primary fixing component that is used to fix the mounting frame in the shaft, and the support surface is spaced further outward from the main frame in the fixing direction in the displacement position than the fixing surface.

A linear propulsion system and method of assembling and testing the same is disclosed. The linear propulsion system may comprise a track, a vehicle, a mover mounted to the vehicle, and a dual inverter system. The track may comprise a first plurality of stator sections interleaved with a second plurality of stator sections. The dual inverter system may include first and second multi-phase inverters that share input hardware.

According to one embodiment, a cleaning head for cleaning a plurality of hoisting belts and/or at least one sheave of an elevator system is provided. The at least one sheave includes a plurality of grooves for receiving each of the hoisting belts. The cleaning head comprises a base plate and a plurality of wipers fixed to an upper end of the base plate to project outwards from the base plate. The cleaning head may be used to clean the plurality of hoisting belts at once and/or the plurality of grooves of the at least one sheave at once.
