Abstract
A termination assembly for supporting and securing an end section of a belt in an elevator system includes a first support member that is fixed in a selected position within the elevator system. A second support member of one example is at least partially received over the first support member. The first support member includes at least one stop portion extending outward from a body of the first support member. The second support member includes at least one stop portion extending inward from an interior of the second support member. A plurality of motion limiters, which are inserts in one example, are received between the stop portions to limit relative rotary movement between the first and second support members. The load bearing member is received around the exterior of the second support member where it is secured in a selected position.
