ABSTRACT:
An elevator having a cage disposed inside guide rails, a damper unit, a vibration sensor, and a control circuit. The damper unit is controlled by the control circuit in response to vibrations of the cage which are detected by the vibration sensor. The vibration sensor detects the vibration of the cage, converts the vibration into an electric signal, and transmits the electric signal to the control circuit. The control circuit compares the electric signal with a predetermined value and controls the coefficient of viscous damping of the damper unit according to the result of the comparison. Accordingly, vibrations of the cage are absorbed and reduced, and the elevator provides a more comfortable ride.
