Abstract
We are researching a flat belt with the self-diagnosis function that is called a Health Monitoring for the transportation equipment such as elevators. The labor saving of maintenance is achieved at by the Health monitor function, and the safety at the disaster is maintained. In addition, it has aimed to achieve conservation of energy and the miniaturization by changing to a flat belt. We proposed the shapememory alloy as a sensor installed in a flat belt, and did the experiment that confirmed the performance as the strain sensor of the shape-memory alloy.
