A modular elevator sheave comprises a mandrel body, wherein multiple sheave units are arranged side by side along the mandrel body, and wherein, the outer wall of the outer circumference of the sheave unit is provided with a groove. In this structural composition, the mandrel body with multiple sheave units, which increases the overall strength and rigidity of the sheave. Furthermore, the number of sheave unit used can be increase and decrease depending on the need or situation, and it should be noted that since the sheave unit can be replaced individually when damaged, it is easier to maintain and reduce repairing costs.

One illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure may include a snatch ring pulley assembly including a pulley wheel body and a deformable retention feature affixed to the pulley wheel body. The pulley wheel body includes a rope saddle portion, a first outer wheel portion, and a second outer wheel portion substantially parallel to the first outer wheel portion. The deformable retention feature is affixed to the first outer wheel portion and extends toward the second outer wheel portion. The deformable retention feature extends uniformly around a circumference of the first outer wheel portion and extends substantially perpendicular to the first outer wheel portion.

In a machine-room-less elevator, a hoisting machine is disposed directly above a counterweight. A counterweight speed governor is disposed higher than a position of the counterweight if a car descends to a floor portion of a hoistway and the counterweight jumps upward. When viewed from directly above, at least a portion of the counterweight speed governor is disposed at an identical position to a first counterweight guide rail in a width direction of the counterweight, and is disposed at an identical position to a portion of a suspending body between a driving sheave and a counterweight suspending sheave in a direction that is perpendicular to the width direction of the counterweight.

A deflector sheave mounting bracket for mounting a plurality of individual deflector sheaves of an elevator system includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a plurality of support plates connected at a first end to the top plate and connected at a second, opposite end to the bottom plate. A plurality of openings for receiving the plurality of deflector sheaves is defined between pairs of adjacent support plates of the plurality of support plates. At least one opening of the plurality of openings is vertically offset and horizontally offset from another of the plurality of openings.

An elevator is disclosed. The elevator comprises a first upright U-channel guide rail parallel to and opposing a second upright U-channel guide rail. The elevator also comprises a slider with a first side and an opposing second side, wherein a first wheel is attached to the first side and a second wheel is attached to the second side. Some embodiments may comprise additional wheels. The first wheel rolls up and down within the first guide rail, and the second wheel rolls up and down within the second guide rail. A platform extends from the slider. The elevator also comprises a hoist mechanism and a closed loop lifting cable attached to the slider. The hoist mechanism is configured to move the lifting cable and thereby, in cooperation with pulleys, to lift and lower the platform. Preferred embodiments also include a centrifugal brake system and walls and a ceiling on the platform.
