Abstract (en)

The invention refers to an elevator (10), comprising:several elevator cars (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) driving in at least one elevator shaft (12a, 12b);a linear motor (16, 16a, 18, 18a, 22a, 22b, 24, 38, 38a) comprising- a first stator beam structure (16, 18) comprising at least one stator beam (22a,22b) mounted to a support structure (20) of the elevator shaft (12a, 12b) extending in vertical direction, and- at least one mover (24) coupled to each elevator car (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) and coacting with the first stator beam structure (16, 18) to provide a propulsion force.According to the invention at least one transfer node (26, 28) is arranged along the length and/or at the upper and/or lower end of the first stator beam structure (16, 18). The transfer node (26, 28) comprises at least one vertical stator beam part (16a, 18a, 36a) of the linear motor for receiving the mover (24) of the elevator car (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d). The transfer node (26, 28) is arranged to rotate via a first actuator (30) around a vertical pivot axis (x). This solution allows an easy transfer of an elevator out of an elevator shaft.
