Abstract

An elevator cab control system directly minimizes the lateral acceleration of an elevator cab floor, or platform, relative to the elevator car frame by implementing electromagnets between the cab floor and the car frame. The electromagnets are controlled in a closed-loop feedback manner by signals from accelerometers.
