Abstract: A brake (200) comprising a braking surface (202); a brake lever (206) arranged to move between a retracted position and an engaged position; a brake lining (210) and at least one non-contact sensor (212). The brake lining is disposed between the braking surface and the brake lever such that when the brake lever is in the engaged position the brake lining is in contact with the braking surface. The at least one non-contact sensor is arranged to output a signal dependent on the distance between the non-contact sensor and the braking surface.

Abstract: An elevator system includes a guide rail, an elevator car, a safety brake actuator and a safety brake. The safety brake actuator and the safety brake are mounted to the elevator car to move along the guide rail with the elevator car in use. The safety brake actuator includes an actuation mechanism configured in use to actuate the engagement of the safety brake against the guide rail. The safety brake actuator also includes a proximal surface, the safety brake actuator is mounted adjacent to the guide rail with the proximal surface facing the guide rail and spaced from the guide rail to define a clearance gap between the guide rail and the proximal surface of the safety brake actuator.

Abstract: An elevator car (102) including at least one barrier (110) extending from an external surface (106, 108) of the elevator car (102). The elevator car (102) further includes a switch (208) connectable in series with a safety chain circuit. The at least one barrier (110) is configured to be displaced from a first position (202) to a second position (204) upon contact with an object (120), such that the displacement to the second position (204) opens the switch (208) to initiate an emergency stop procedure of the elevator car (102).
