Space elevator technology has attracted attention as a means of transport into space to replace the rocket technology. In this paper, we make a unit type experimental space elevator climber for belt tethers experimentally and execute a traveling stabilization control. In a space elevator climber, adjusting the pressing force that the wheels apply to the tether is critical in order to ensure that the climber ascends smoothly without slippage. The electric brake which can be long-distance travel at a constant speed in the descent is required. Therefore, the experimental space elevator climber with a pressing force adjusting unit and a dynamic braking unit is made, and the effectiveness is confirmed by the ascent and descent experiment.
