<p>A system for limiting oscillation of an elevator cable. The problem with elevator cables is the swaying motion induced by natural forces or movement of the elevator. The system employs a cable oscillation limiting member located at a predetermined vertical position in the elevator shaft. The system (30) includes an oscillation limiting member (40) which is movable between an extended position in vertical line with an elevator car (32) and horizontally proximate a centrally mounted hoist cable (34). The member (40) may then be moved to a retracted position vertically out of line with the elevator (32) and horizontally distal of the cable (34). The system (30) also includes sensors (39A, 39B) to move the member (40) between its extended and retracted positions, depending upon the position of the elevator (32).</p> |
