The FPC Overspeed safety brake is a mechanical unit used to protect against accidental free-fall in rack and pinion lift systems. It is very common to be used as the pinion safety brake of the rack and pinion construction hoist, industrial elevators, mast climbing working platforms and other types of lifting devices. It is also known as safety device, Overspeed governor, automatic centrifugal brake device, pinion safety device, lift brake system or pinion device.
The safety brake only operates when the descent speed surpasses a previously established value. The sensors are activated by centrifugal force and wedge the follower pinion against the structure. The locking occurs in a progressive way.
Automatic reset: The procedure to reset the brake consists only of raising the elevator a few centimeters. The brake returns to its operative without the need of any manipulation. There is no other safety brake in the market with this technical advantage.
Maximum load: Up to 9000 kg.
Maximum speed: More than 120 m/min.
Centrifugal progressive interlock without a trigger.
Reset without manipulation.
Microswitch is easily accessible.
Different constructions including a double shaft or throw hole for double-mast boom lifts.
