An elevator car for an elevator installation may include at least one side wall having a doorway and an elevator car door. For opening and/or closing the doorway, the elevator car door can be moved at least partially parallel to the side wall on an outside of the side wall. In opening and/or closing, the elevator car door can be moved at least partially in a direction perpendicular to the side wall. In the closing process, the elevator car door can be at least partially sunk in the doorway. A coupling element may couple the elevator car door to a shaft door in at least one of opening or closing the elevator car door.

Lift car for a lift installation and method for opening and closing a door opening

A method can be used to position a car door and a landing-stop door in a synchronized manner at a landing stop in an elevator shaft of an elevator system. The car door may be configured as a guide door, and the landing-stop door may be configured as a follower door. The method may involve bringing an elevator car close to the landing stop, upon entry of the car door into an unlock zone sensing a presence signal of the follower door by way of a presence sensor of the guide door, actuating the guide-door drive by way of the guide controller and executing an opening movement of the guide door, providing movement information of the guide door, and actuating the follower-door drive of the follower door.

Synchronisation of door movements in a lift system

An elevator system may include a car that is movable in an elevator shaft. The car may include a frame and a cabin. The elevator system may also comprise a first linear motor with a first primary part and a first secondary part. The first primary part of the first linear motor may be arranged on a first rail that is disposed in the elevator shaft. The frame may also include a first drive beam on which the first secondary part is disposed. The frame may further include a first lower beam for supporting the cabin and a first connecting segment that connects the first lower beam to the first drive beam.

Frame for an elevator system

The disclosure relates to a guide rail to guide the car of an elevator system. The guide rail is designed as a section with a cavity (-) and/or integrated cooling fins to cool the guide rail.

Guide rail for an elevator system and an elevator system

A guide rail for an elevator system may comprise at least two rail elements that together form a guide rail portion having a functional running track that extends in a travel direction. Each of the rail elements may be connected to a shaft wall of the elevator system. Furthermore, the at least two rail elements may be adjacent and spaced such that the at least two rail elements can thermally expand freely in the travel direction. Additionally, the at least two rail elements in a region of the functional running track may have mutually opposite borders that have complementary profiles. An arbitrary cross section of the guide rail portion perpendicular to the travel direction in the region of the functional track may run through at least one of the two adjacent rail elements.

Guide rail for an elevator system

An elevator system may include at least two elevator shafts along with an elevator car with a cab and a chassis device. The cab may be mounted rotatably about a horizontal rotational axis relative to the chassis device. A vertically extending rail, along which the elevator car is movable, may be disposed in each elevator shaft. Each of the rails may include a rotatable segment such that the rotatable segments are alignable with respect to one another so that the elevator car is movable along the segments between the elevator shafts. A first device may lock the cab relative to the chassis device, and a second device may hold the cab relative to the elevator shafts.

Elevator system

The present disclosure relates to a car door for a lift car having a guide mechanism and a door leaf. The guide mechanism comprises in this case a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door. Furthermore, the guide mechanism comprises a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides. The sliding shoe has, in a sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of the extension of the door leaf in this direction.
