    摘要: A method for operating, such as commissioning, an elevator, and an elevator are presented herein. The elevator comprises an electric linear motor for moving movable units. The method comprises moving a first movable unit along a linear stator of the electric linear motor in the elevator shaft, and determining at least one characteristic, such as a floor position or an air gap width of the electric linear motor, at a plurality of elevator shaft positions by the first movable unit, such as by a winding, a coil, or a sensor, during the moving. The method further comprises storing the determined at least one characteristic, and controlling moving of at least a second movable unit, such as comprising another of the elevator cars or a second motor unit, by utilizing the stored at least one characteristic.

    摘要: The invention relates to an elevator apparatus, comprising: a shaft, an elevator car vertically movable in the shaft, one or more ropes connected with the car, and a controller for controlling movement of the car. In order to detect sway in one or more elevator ropes connected with the car, the apparatus comprises at least one sensor unit arranged in the elevator shaft to detect sway and to produce a control signal indicating to the controller the detected sway. The controller compares the detected sway to a predetermined limit and prevents movement of the elevator car when sway reaches the predetermined limit.

    摘要: An elevator includes at least one elevator car driving along an elevator shaft as well as an elevator control measuring the car position. The elevator further includes a buffer in the shaft pit, whose length is adjustable in response to the car position and car speed. Via this measure, the shaft pit can be reduced in high speed elevator requiring large buffer lengths.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for operating an elevator installed in connection with a building, particularly a high rise elevator, in which method the expected rope sway is monitored using building acceleration data obtained by means of a sensor to calculate a building sway, and whereby based on the building sway and the position of an elevator car a rope sway is estimated, which rope sway is compared with a threshold value to determine the amount of rope sway and to deduct operation measures for the elevator based on the amount of the rope sway, characterized by the succession of following steps



    determining elevator car position
    determining change of rope sway based on the car position and the building acceleration data
    if it is concluded that rope sway is not increasing, then
    calculating the number of rope sway cycles n(zca,) within a building sway period Tbuilding and
    calculating a new (decreasing) rope sway amplitude x based on said number of rope sway cycles n(zca,) and a damping factor I.
