METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR MEASURING THE BALANCE OF AN ELEVATOR AND METHOD FOR BALANCING THE ELEVATOR

摘要

The object of the invention is a method and an arrangement for measuring the balance of an elevator in an elevator, in which method an elevator car (1) provided with one or more counterweights (3) is stopped at a desired point in the elevator hoistway (2) and at least one brake of the elevator is opened. For measuring the balance of the elevator a force directed downwards is exerted on the elevator car (1) with a separate balancing device (6), the magnitude of which force is measured with a force measuring means (12) and the measured force is converted into a simulated load of the elevator car (1) in the units of weight desired.
