SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENT AND GUIDE SHOE ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ELEVATOR

摘要

The object of the invention is a suspension arrangement and guide shoe arrangement of an elevator, which arrangement comprises at least an elevator car (1) configured to move up and down in an elevator hoistway (15) guided by guide rails (17) and at least two compensating weights (3a, 3b), which are for their part connected to support the elevator car (1) by the aid of at least two suspension members (4a, 4b), such as by the aid of ropes or belts, and also by the aid of diverting pulleys (5a, 5b), and a hoisting machine (9) provided with at least one traction sheave (8) or corresponding, as well as at least two traction members (14a, 14b), such as belts, ropes or chains, separate from the suspension members (4a, 4b), which traction members are configured to transmit the rotational movement of the traction sheave (8) into movement of the elevator car (1) and of the compensating weights (3a, 3b). There are at least four guide rails (17) of the elevator car (1) and they fitted into the elevator hoistway (15) symmetrically to each other in relation to the elevator car (1).
