This wire rope inspection device is provided with an urging unit for urging a detection unit in a direction to approach a wire rope by an elastic force to an inspection position at which the detection unit is arranged at a time of an inspection operation for inspecting the wire rope and a drive unit for moving the detection unit in a direction away from the wire rope to a normal operation position at which the detection unit is arranged at a time of a normal operation.

There is provided an elevator rope tension measurement system that can reduce measurement error when the tension of the rope of an elevator is quantitatively measured. An elevator rope tension measurement system includes a vibration waveform collection unit configured to collect a vibration waveform of a rope of an elevator; and a frequency calculation unit configured to select, based on a measurement resolution calculated from a collection time period and a collection cycle for collecting the vibration waveform by the vibration waveform collection unit, a method for calculating a frequency of the vibration waveform collected by the vibration waveform collection unit.

There is provided a building facility vibration measurement device that can easily ascertain whether specs are sufficient for measurement of vibration of a building facility. A building facility vibration measurement device includes: an acceleration detection unit configured to detect acceleration; an acceleration collection unit configured to collect the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit; an accuracy calculation unit configured to calculate detection accuracy of the acceleration from information on the acceleration collected by the acceleration collection unit; and a judgement unit configured to, based on the detection accuracy calculated by the accuracy calculation unit, judge whether vibration of a building facility can be measured.

A suspension member arrangement for an elevator includes a suspension member having a plurality of electrically conductive load-bearing cords commonly embedded in an electrically isolating matrix material, a first connector and a second connector each attached to the suspension member and electrically contacting the cords within the suspension member in a contacted end region thereof. The first connector electrically contacts and electrically interconnects in parallel a first group of the cords being a first plurality of directly neighboring ones of the cords. The second connector electrically contacts and electrically interconnects in parallel a second group of the cords being a second plurality of directly neighboring ones of the cords. The suspension member arrangement facilitates electrically contacting the cords of the suspension member using a simple type of connector whereby deteriorations in characteristics of the suspension member can be electrically detected with high accuracy.

A device and a method for detecting elevator rope elongation, and an elevator. An elevator rope is connected to a rope head device and an operating device in an elevator, and the device for detecting elevator rope elongation includes: one and more brackets connected to an elastic reset member in the rope head device, a coupling member connected to at least one of the brackets and configured to be driven into a trigger position by the at least one bracket when the displacement of the elastic reset member exceeds a threshold value due to reduction of compression amount, and a trigger connected to the coupling member and configured to be triggered to generate a trigger signal when the coupling member is driven into the trigger position.

An elevator traction belt cleaning device and an elevator system. The elevator traction belt cleaning device includes: a set of slide rails installed to fixed positions in an elevator system; and a cleaning assembly having a cleaning opening for a traction belt to pass through, a sand removing member installed at the cleaning opening, and a set of slide blocks; in which the cleaning assembly is slidably installed between the set of slide rails through the set of slide blocks.

Elevator components can be equipped with an electronic information plate. The electronic information plate are associated with a particular electronic information plate that can store different properties of the associated component. The content of each electronic information plate is read manually or automatically and transmitted to a controller. The controller analyzes the received content and launches a predetermined action if the content indicates a possible mistake or a fraud.

Disclosed is an assembly having: at least one drive wheel configured to roll against a hoistway rail of an elevator system; and a drive mechanism supported by the assembly and configured to drive the at least one of drive wheel, wherein the assembly is configured to support one or more sensors.

An elevator belt monitoring apparatus includes a housing for receiving an elevator belt and a plurality of blade contacts which are operable to pierce the belt and engage the spaced parallel cords arranged within the belt. A plurality of bridge contacts are connected with adjacent pairs of elevator belt cords and signal contacts are connected with cords at the outer edges of the belts. The signal contacts are connected with a monitoring device which sends and receives signals to the contacts to provide an indication of the condition or deterioration of the belt.
