An elevator installation comprising:
- an elevator car;
- a support means connected to said car for supporting said car;
- two deflecting rollers, said support means partly looping around said two deflecting rollers and said two deflecting rollers being rotatably mounted on a common axle;
- and
- a load sensor arranged on said common axle between said two deflecting rollers for sensing a load in said car and generating a signal representing the sensed load.
A deflecting roller unit for connecting a support means with an elevator car comprising:
- two deflecting rollers rotatably mounted on a common axle;
- and
- a load sensor is arranged on said common axle between said two deflecting rollers and generating a signal representing a load applied to the axle.
A method of arranging a load sensor in an elevator installation, which elevator installation includes a car and a support means for supporting the car, comprising the steps of:
- a. rotatably mounting two deflecting rollers on a common axle and attaching the common axle to the car;
- b. connecting the support means to the car with the two deflecting rollers;
- and
- c. arranging a load sensor on the common axle between the two deflecting rollers, the load sensor generating a signal representing a load the car.
