<p>The elevator installation has an elevator car (3) moving in a vertical direction along guide tracks (7, 9) and is braked or held at standstill by a braking equipment. The braking equipment includes two brake units (12), where each of the brake units has a wear-compensating device. Each brake unit has brake plates (14, 15), which co-operate with a brake track (8), when the brake units are actuated. The wear-compensating device sets a clearance between the plates of the brake units and the brake track in correspondence with a constant value, when the brake unit is opened or released. An independent claim is also included for a method of braking and holding an elevator car.</p> |
