The hoisting ropes support a counterweight (2) and an elevator car (1) moving on their respective tracks (10, 11). The hoisting rope has a thickness below 8 mm and/or the diameter of the traction sheave (7) is smaller than 320 mm. The contact angle between the hoisting rope or hoisting ropes and the traction sheave is larger than 180 degree . |
