To enhance transport safety and reliability of ropeway systems, it is essential to reduce the swing of the carriers by wind. As for swing damping equipment for the ropeway system, passive equipment which does not need a power supply can be realized easily for the system. In this passive equipment, it plays an important role to give damping force to additional mass in order to reduce the resonance amplitude of the ropeway system with this equipment. This paper proposes two-ball rolling type damping equipment in which damping force to additional mass is generated self and makes clear an adjustment method of parameters of this equipment. The effects of this equipment that we confirmed by simulation and experiments are reported as well.
