  • Patent number: 11319189
    Abstract: An elevator includes a compensating sheave, a compensating rope, a guide, a holder, a driver, a lateral vibration detector, and driver controller. The compensating rope is looped around the compensating sheave to be bent back upward in a hoistway, and has a first end connected to a car and a second end connected a counterweight, the compensating rope suspended from the car and the counterweight. The guide guides the compensating sheave in a vertically displaceable manner. The holder holds the guide to be displaceable in a horizontal direction. The driver drives the holder in the horizontal direction. The lateral vibration detector detects lateral vibration of the compensating rope. The driver controller controls the driver based on a result of detection by the lateral vibration detector and accordingly drive the holder in the horizontal direction so as to dampen lateral vibration of the compensating rope.
