Abstract
A machinery brake of an elevator includes a frame part including an electromagnet, an armature part, an inductive proximity sensor indirectly mounted to one of the following: the frame part, the armature part, and a target mounted to another of the following: the frame part, armature part. The machinery brake further includes, for establishing the indirect mounting: a temperature change compensation device mounted between the inductive proximity sensor and one of the following: the frame part, the armature part. Some aspects relate to a method for compensating a change in switching point of an inductive proximity sensor.
