METHOD FOR ADJUSTING CAR BALANCE OF ELEVATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for adjusting the car balance of an elevator which can be easily performed even by a small number of persons. SOLUTION: A car balance measuring device 3 is used, which comprises a plurality of distance sensors 31a, 31b, 31c mounted on a car 2 side to detect the distance from guide rails 1a, 1b at a plurality of places, and a measuring device body 34 including a display unit 34a connected to each distance sensor to display the detection result. The car is suspended from a main rope 7 on the lower side of a shaft, a plurality of distance sensors are respectively mounted on both upper sides of the car on the upper side of the car while guide shoes 5 facing on three faces of both sides of the guide rails and a face on the car side is mounted only on both sides of the lower side so that the car is at the center position in X-axis and Y-axis orthogonal to each other in the horizontal plane with respect to both guide rails. Then, a weight 6 for adjusting the weight balance of the car is mounted on a lower part of the car so that the outputs of the plurality of distance sensors indicate respective desired values while watching the display unit of the measuring device body on the lower side of the car.
