Claims11
An elevator comprising:
- a load bearing member;
- an elevator car;
- one or more sheaves;
- a counter weight associated with the load bearing member such that the elevator car and the counterweight are suspended by the loading bearing member via the one or more sheaves;
- wherein the load bearing member comprises:
- a plurality of load bearing wires arranged in a bundle;
- a polymer-based conductive adhesive coating on each of the plurality of load bearing wires;
- and
- a jacket surrounding the plurality of load bearing wires, wherein the jacket is adhered to the plurality of load bearing wires by the polymer-based conductive adhesive coating;
- and
- wherein the polymer-based conductive adhesive coating either comprises an intrinsically conductive polymer or comprises a non-conductive polymer adhesive and less than about 5% by weight of a conductive element.
