Abstract (en)

A monitoring device (1) for detecting slack in an arrangement comprising a multiplicity of flexible suspension and traction media STM (108) of an elevator arrangement is presented. The monitoring device (1) comprises an elongate engagement and actuation part (3) and a sensor (7). The elongate engagement and actuation part (3) comprises at least two engagement protrusions extending in a protrusion direction. The elongate engagement and actuation part (3) is arranged and adapted such that, when the elongate engagement and actuation part (3) is arranged adjacent to each of the multiplicity of flexible STMs (108), the at least two engagement protrusions each mechanically interact with one of the flexible STMs (108) such that, when a slack occurs in one of the flexible STMs (108), a resulting motion of the respective STMs (108) is transferred mechanically to the elongate engagement and actuation part (3). The sensor (7) is arranged and adapted such as to detect the motion of the elongate engagement and actuation part (3). The elongate engagement and actuation part (3) comprises a plurality of screws (11) forming the engagement protrusions. Due to such engagement protrusions being formed by screws (11), an engagement of each of the protrusions into e.g. a respective recess (124) of a holder (120) connected to one of the STMs (108) may be precisely positioned for example by tightening the associated screw (11). Thereby, slack detection of the STMs may be improved.
