Abstract
The disclosure relates to a deflection device for deflecting a rope, comprising a roller holder, at least one deflection roller mounted on the roller holder so as to be rotatable about a roller axis of rotation, and a rope securing member spaced radially from the deflection roller for securing the rope to the deflection roller. According to the disclosure, the rope securing member is mounted so that it can be displaced along a displacement direction, wherein the deflection device comprises a detection device by means of which a displacement of the rope securing member along the displacement direction can be detected. The disclosure also relates to a working machine, in particular a crane, comprising a deflection device according to the disclosure, wherein the working machine comprises a boom with a boom head which comprises at least one deflection device over which a rope is guided.
