Abstract
A rail system for an elevator system has at least one vertically aligned rail for guiding vertically movable components of the elevator system, wherein the rail is anchored to at least one substantially vertically aligned wall at different height positions using anchoring devices. The rail bridges interspaces between adjacent ones of the anchoring devices, wherein the interspaces vary at least within a section of the rail depending on a local load on the rail, and the lengths of the interspaces within the section vary in a monotonically decreasing manner depending on a dead weight of the rail arranged locally above.

A rail system for an elevator system, the rail system comprising:
- a vertically aligned rail adapted to guide vertically movable components of the elevator system;
- a plurality of anchoring devices anchoring the rail at different height positions on a vertically aligned wall wherein the rail bridges interspaces between adjacent ones of the anchoring devices;
- and
- wherein lengths of the interspaces monotonically decrease depending on a local load on the rail in at least a section of the rail system.
A method for producing a rail system for an elevator system, wherein the rail system a vertically aligned rail for guiding vertically movable components of the elevator system, wherein the rail is anchored at different height positions on a vertically aligned wall by anchoring devices and the rail bridges interspaces between adjacent ones of the anchoring devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- calculating varying lengths for the interspaces in a section of the rail, the decreasing monotonically depending on a local load on the rail at each of the interspaces;
- arranging the anchoring devices on the wall at the calculated lengths of the interspaces;
- and
- connecting the rail to the anchoring devices wherein the interspaces are bridged by the rail.
