The article deals with the measurement of the vibrations in passenger elevators. The introduction of an article briefly discusses machine vibrations and their impact on machine design and the surrounding environment. The basic equations from which the equations of motion are derived are listed here. The importance of analyzing machine vibrations in their design, or rather proposing solutions to reduce vi-brations during machine reconstruction, is emphasized. Specifically, attention is paid to vibrations gen-erated during an elevator operation in the elevator shaft. This is an elevator for transporting people in a newly constructed 5-story building. Vibration values generated by an elevator operation were measured in order to assess the suitability of simple anti-vibration modifications. Vibration measurements were taken on an existing elevator without modifications, and after the initial measurements, modifications were made to attach the guides to the bracket and attach the bracket to the elevator shaft wall. After the adjustment, the vibration measurement was performed again and both measurements were compared with each other.
