Abstract
A method for controlling a hydraulic elevator whose car can be displaced by a hydraulic drive mechanism by hydraulic oil fed through a cylinder line or evacuated from said hydraulic drive mechanism by a pump that cooperates with a first control valve unit and a second control valve unit, wherein the flow the hydraulic oil is controlled by a measuring device and operation of the elevator can be controlled and regulated by a control apparatus. The load of the elevator car is determined by a load pressure sensor detecting pressure P in the cylinder line and is controlled preferably in a constant manner by changing the control of the second control valve unit in such a way that movement of the elevator car can be controlled in a very precise manner. When the elevator car is descending, the dropping pressure P in the cylinder line is regulated by changing the first control valve unit in such a way that the descending movement of the elevator-cabin can also be controlled in a very precise manner.
