What is an FPC hoist safety brake?

The FPC hoist safety brake is a mechanical unit that avoids any accidental fall that may occur in motorised lifts or hoists. Zip and pinion usually compose these elements.

The safety brake is activated when it detects that the speed is above the maximum value. After that, sensors are activated and proceed to lock the pinion in the structure. This process occurs softly.

It has an automatic reset too.
