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.

A stabilization apparatus of an elevator car includes: a base fixedly mounted with respect to the elevator car; an upper swing arm and a lower swing arm disposed in parallel basically, first ends thereof being pivotably fixed to the base; a guide rail friction member capable of generating, with the guide rail, a frictional force for keeping static with respect to the guide rail, and having a first connecting shaft and a second connecting shaft for being connected to the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm respectively; and a damper having at least one end connected to the upper swing arm or the lower swing arm, wherein the damper is configured to at least partially prevent the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm from relatively swinging, with the first connecting shaft and/or the second connecting shaft as a swinging pivot.
