Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of elevators. More specifically, the invention relates to the compensation of the effects of temperature variations in mechanical brake solutions for elevators. technical background [0002] A proximity sensor is a sensor configured to monitor the presence or absence of a target within the sensor's operating range. There are different types of proximity sensors available. For example, the operation of a proximity sensor may be based on the capacitance between the sensor and target or the inductance between the sensor and target. Furthermore, photoelectric sensors can also be considered as proximity sensors, since the reflection of transmitted light can be monitored and analyzed in order to detect the presence or absence of a target. Other types of proximity sensors are also known. The choice of proximity sensor usually depends on the application area where the proximity sensor is applie...
