Abstract
A method for creating an elevator shaft for an elevator system, wherein the elevator shaft is oriented mainly vertically, uses a plurality of base modules placed on one another. The shaft is upwardly closed off by a top module and forms a travelway for a car of the elevator system. In a normal operation of the elevator system, the car is moved at a nominal speed within the travelway. According to the method, an intermediate element having an intermediate element height is arranged between an uppermost one of the base modules and the top module, wherein the intermediate element height is dependent on the nominal speed of the car.

A method for creating an elevator shaft of an elevator system, wherein the elevator shaft is vertically aligned and forms a travelway for a car of the elevator system, which car is moved at a nominal speed within the travelway in normal operation of the elevator system, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing multiple base modules on each other forming a travelway section of the travelway of the vertically aligned elevator shaft;
- closing the elevator shaft upwards by mounting a top module along the travelway above the base modules, wherein a drive machine is arranged in the top module;
- providing a single intermediate element having an intermediate element height dependent on the nominal speed of the car, wherein higher nominal speed correlates to a greater intermediate element height;
- and
- arranging the intermediate element in the travelway exclusively between an uppermost one of the base modules and the top module, wherein the intermediate element is configured to form free space in a shaft head of the elevator shaft.
An elevator shaft of an elevator system, wherein the elevator shaft is vertically aligned and forms a travelway for a car of the elevator system, which car is moved at a nominal speed within the travelway in normal operation of the elevator system, the elevator shaft comprising:
- at least two base modules placed on each other forming a travelway section of the travelway of the vertically aligned elevator shaft;
- a single intermediate element having an intermediate element height dependent on the nominal speed of the car, the intermediate element exclusively being placed above and on an uppermost one of the base modules;
- and
- a top module being placed above and on the intermediate element completing the travelway and closing the elevator shaft upwards, wherein a drive machine is arranged in the top module;
- wherein higher nominal speed correlates to a greater intermediate element height;
- and
- wherein the intermediate element is configured to form free space in a shaft head of the elevator shaft.
