A first adjustable cabin rail guide is moveably attached to a structural member of an elevator cabin. A second adjustable cabin rail guide is similarly moveably attached to a structural member of an elevator cabin. The first and second adjustable cabin rail guides cooperate together to reduce sound and increase operational efficiency. A piece of textile or similar material is attached to a tube forming the friction portion of the guide. The use of textile thereby reduces the sound of the travel upon the rail associated with the inner portion of the elevator cylinder as the cabin transits therein.

The present disclosure relates generally to housing assembly for a safety actuation device, the assembly including a mounting plate, a first channel wall and a second channel wall extending substantially perpendicular from the mounting plate, the first channel wall including a first channel wall interior surface, and the second channel wall including a second channel wall interior surface, wherein the first channel wall is positioned substantially parallel to the second channel wall to form a channel therebetween, and at least one guide device affixed to the first channel wall interior surface and the second channel wall interior surface.

An elevator safety device for an elevator car, which includes one or more hydraulically-powered braking assemblies mounted on the elevator car and designed to selectively brake on a guide rail of the elevator car upon detection of a predetermined safety condition, including an uncontrolled ascending or unintended movement of the elevator car, prior to actuation of any mechanical safety brake. The safety device may be used with traction-type or hydraulic-type elevators.

An elevator system, suitable both for normal operating situations and for emergency situations, includes an elevator car that can be displaced directly or indirectly within an elevator shaft, a guide means that is connected to the elevator car, a derailment protection device that is connected to the elevator car, and a guide rail that has a first subregion which works together with the guide means and is used to guide the elevator car along the guide rail, and that has a second subregion which works together with the derailment protection device. A clearance between the derailment protection device and the second subregion of the guide rail is large enough that the derailment protection device and the second subregion of the guide rail remain spaced apart from each other during the normal operating situations.

A lifting device, which is configured to lift or drop at least one load bearing mechanism. The lifting device includes a power driving mechanism and multiple lifting mechanisms connecting to the power driving mechanism. The multiple lifting mechanisms march the load bearing mechanism at least from a first height location to a second height location in a rolling manner under a function of a driving force provided by the power driving mechanism. An embodiment of the present invention further discloses an ultrasonic inspection system using the lifting device.

The present invention relates to a rust removing device for an elevator guide rail and aims at solving a problem of great time and labor taken and insufficient rust removal due to that rust of existing guide rail is removed manually. The rust removing device comprises: a support; a rust removal rack, mounted on the support and covering guide rail; and a rust removal material, arranged on a U-shaped inner wall of the rust removal rack and fitted with a surface of the guide rail. The rust removing device of the present invention has advantages that the rust of the guide rail is removed automatically instead of being removed manually, featured by a high rust removing speed, energy saving, simple maintenance, and less influence on users due to long-time service stop because of rust removal.

A sliding guide shoe for an elevator includes a two-part insert that can be inserted into a guide shoe housing for guiding an elevator car along a guide rail. The insert has a carrier element with a recess which is designed as a receiving pocket for receiving a sliding element so that the sliding element can be introduced into the carrier element in a longitudinal direction and then latched in the carrier element.

An electromagnetic guide assembly, an elevator and a control method thereof. The electromagnetic guide assembly includes a first magnetic element for connecting to an elevator car and a second magnetic element for connecting to an elevator liftway; wherein the electromagnetic guide assembly comprises two states. In a first state, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element abut against each other; and in a second state, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are separated from each other, and the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are capable of generating a relative movement along the longitudinal direction of the elevator liftway.

An elevator guide rail assembly (22) includes a guide rail (28) extending along a centerline (30) and an elevator shoe arrangement (24) configured to axially slide along the guide rail (28). The elevator shoe arrangement (24) may include a bracket (32) having a first tab (36A, 36B) removably located in a slot (68) in the first shoe (34A, 34B). The tab (36A, 36B) and the first shoe (34A, 34B) may be configured such that the shoe (34A, 34B) may be removed from the tab (36A, 36B) without having to remove the guide rail (28) and/or dislocate the bracket (32).
