Embodiments here are directed to an elevator stabilizing assembly for energy dissipation of an elevator assembly is provided. The elevator stabilizing assembly includes an actuator and a stabilizing device. The actuator is configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position. The stabilizing device includes an arm and a biasing member. The biasing member is coupled to the arm and biases the arm to move the arm between a disengaged position and an engaged position. When the actuator is in the extended position, the arm is moved into the engaged position when at least a portion of the arm is in contact with the fixed member of a hoistway. When the actuator is in the retracted position, the arm is moved into the disengaged position such that the at least the portion of the arm is free from contact with the fixed member of the elevator assembly.

This invention is directed to a self-propelled elevator system having multiple motors or one motor, and methods for synchronizing said multiple motors. This invention is also directed to an elevator brake system to be used in said self-propelled elevator system or other types of elevators to increase their level of safety.

Provided is an elevator device including a main rope configured to support a car and a counterweight, a hoisting machine configured to be driven with the main rope wound therearound, a hoisting-machine controller configured to control the hoisting machine, a car brake controller configured to control a car brake device configured to apply a load to car rails to control raising and lowering of the car, and a vibration detection device configured to detect vibration of the car. When the vibration of the car is detected based on an output signal from the vibration detection device under a running state in which the hoisting-machine controller controls drive of the hoisting machine, the car brake controller controls the car brake device to generate a braking force until the vibration becomes smaller than a set value.

An elevator system may include a ropeless direct drive, a rail system, an elevator car, and a brake. The elevator system may also include a component on which there is arranged a sensor for sensing oscillations. The elevator system further comprises a processing unit for calculating counter-oscillations on the basis of the sensed oscillations. The elevator system also include means for generating the calculated counter-oscillations, which may also be disposed on the component. A corresponding method may involve sensing oscillations outside an elevator car, calculating counter-oscillations based on sensed oscillations, and generating the calculated counter-oscillations outside the elevator car.
