An elevator system includes an elevator car movable along a hoistway, a traveling cable operably connected to the elevator car and movable along the hoistway with the elevator car, and a traveling cable support positioned in the hoistway and operably connected to the traveling cable to prevent sway of the traveling cable. A traveling cable and traveling cable support arrangement for an elevator system includes a traveling cable positioned in a hoistway and movable in the hoistway during elevator system operation, and a traveling cable support positioned in the hoistway and operably connected to the traveling cable to prevent sway of the traveling cable, the traveling cable support operably connected to the traveling cable via a plurality of guide frames.

A method for controlling an operation of an elevator system is discloses. The elevator system includes an elevator car moving within an elevator shaft and at least one elevator cable connected to the elevator car and the elevator shaft to carry electrical signals to the elevator car. The method determines a counter force on the elevator cable required to change a nominal shape of the elevator cable to an inverse shape of a current shape of the elevator cable caused by disturbance on the elevator system and applies the counter force to the elevator cable.

A connection device and a connection method for detection of a tension member for an elevator. The connection device includes a plurality of electrical connection terminals and is configured to be detachably connected to an end portion of a tension member for an elevator. The tension member is configured for suspending an elevator car and/or a counterweight and has a covering layer and a load-bearing portion including a plurality of separate load-bearing core wires and covered by the covering layer. The respective one ends of the plurality of electrical connection terminals are electrically connected correspondingly to the load-bearing core wires located at the end portion and exposed outwardly and respective other ends are used for outward electrical connection, after the connection device is connected to the end portion.

An elevator includes a car, a counterweight, a rotatable drive member, and one or more suspension ropes interconnecting the car and the counterweight and passing over the rotatable drive member. Each of the suspension rope(s) has a first rope section on the first side of the drive member and a second rope section on the second side of the drive member, the first section(s) of the rope(s) being connected to the car to suspend the car. The second section(s) of the rope(s) are connected to the counterweight to suspend the counterweight. Drive machinery controls rotation of the drive member. The elevator includes a rope tension sensor mounted on the counterweight and arranged to sense tension of the second section(s) of the rope(s). The rope(s) include(s) electrically conducting member(s) extending continuously along the length of the rope(s) forming an electrically conducting connection between the car and counterweight. The rope tension sensor is functionally connected with the drive machinery via said electrically conducting connection between the car and counterweight such that reduced rope tension of the second rope section(s) sensed by the rope tension sensor triggers the drive machinery to brake rotation of the drive member and/or to stop rotating the drive member.

A suspension device and a suspension arrangement for suspending a cable in an elevator hoistway are provided. The suspension device includes a mechanical fixing interface for fixing the suspension device to a supporting structure. The suspension device also includes a fixing part of the cable, which fixing part of the cable is made to be turnable in relation to the mechanical fixing interface.

A load measurement arrangement of an elevator comprising: a hoisting machinery (3) for driving an elevator car (2) in an elevator shaft (1); a hoisting machinery bed plate (11) supporting the hoisting machinery; and at least one load weighing sensor (20) located between the hoisting machinery (3) and the hoisting machinery bed plate (11). The load measurement arrangement comprises aligning means (25) for placing the at least one load weighing sensor (20) at a predefined point or at predefined points between the hoisting machinery (3) and the hoisting machinery bed plate (11). A method for elevator load measuring.

The present disclosure provides a conveyance device improved in arrangement of a power receiving section with respect to a mast. An article conveyance device includes: a mast including a first side section and a second side section that are located opposite to each other; a power receiving section disposed between the first side section and the second side section; and a feed line configured to supply power to the power receiving section. The first side section and the second side section each include a wiring path through which the feed line passes.

A network system for transmitting voice and elevator telemetry data, having: a gateway with gateway controllers including one or more gateway controllers to process the telemetry data and to process the voice data; a first battery that powers the gateway; a first cable, operationally coupled to the one or more gateway controllers and an elevator controller, wherein the first cable is configured to receive, from the elevator controller, the telemetry data and power to recharge the first battery; a PLC connector, operationally coupled to the one or more gateway controllers, an intercom in the elevator car via a connector cable, wherein the connector cable extends from the PLC connector, along a traveling cable, to the intercom, and the PLC connector is configured to receive the voice data from the intercom and transfer a portion of the power from the elevator controller to recharge a second battery mounted within the intercom.
