Abstract: A sway reduction or dampening device operably engaging a wall adjacent an elevator car or floor of an elevator shaft, and receiving an elevator compensating cable is described. The device is made of two molded parts having an outer surface and inner surface with the inner surface for each part being complementary to each other to define a passage for a cable. The parts are made of molded material and include in one part molded rods which pass through corresponding openings in the other part. The two parts are held together through conventional securing elements such as nuts when the rods are threaded bolts. The nuts can be secured on the backside of a bracket to which the device is attached within an elevator shaft with an elevator cable passing therethrough.
