More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a method for determining a status of at least one component of an elevator system, wherein the elevator system comprises a suspension means having at least one traction member. The at least one traction member is surrounded by a non-metallic cladding, wherein the suspension means is guided via a drive sheave with a metallic traction surface. The method comprises the steps: identifying at least one parameter based on an electrostatic effect which occurs due to friction of the non-metallic cladding on the traction sheave with the metallic traction surface; and determining a status of the component on the basis of the captured parameter.
