TECHNICAL SHEET SAFETY BRAKES Type FPC For lifts, elevators, hoists and other machines Automatic reset Description The FPC safety brake is a mechanical unit designed to prevent accidental falls in lifting gear motorized by transmission sprockets orrack and pinion devices. Setscrew Rack Pinion Micro The system only operates when the descent rate exceeds a predetermined value. The sensor elements act by the action of centrifugal force and interlock the follower pinion against the structure of the elevator. The locking occurs in a progressive way.The platform is immobilized after being braked. By actuating the mechanism in the opposite direction to interlock, the brake returns to its original state. For the proper operation of the machine it is essential to analyze the causes that triggered the security system and solve the problem. These safety brakes incorporate a microswitch which operates in the interlocking. This signal can cut the general current of the elevator, activate an alarm, etc. The unit must be firmly attached to the platform structure so that the sprocket is perfectly centered and in engagement with the rack. After mounting the unit, connect the cables to the micro connector. Typically, this is in closed position. The long experience of our company in security requires us to the realization of the product. Compact and robust, they are particularly suitable for installation in wind tower elevators, cranes and other industrial applications. The FPC brake is delivered regulated according to the specific characteristics of the machine on which it will be mounted. As ever this should be mounted on a different machine, its traceability must be ensured. The operation is completely mechanical. No force or external signal is required to work. The parachute is sealed for safety, preventing the further handling. Left rack Right rack Descending spin Descending spin Counter roller FPC safety brakes prevent accidental falls in all types of lifting devices (pinion-rack, drum-wire, etc.). The system only operates when the descent rate exceeds a predetermined value. The braking starts immediately when the speed is surpassed, immobilizing the platform. Braking occurs progressively. Automatic reset without manipulation backing to the point of origin Counter roller The system incorporates a protected inner microswitch which acts at locking. Thus, the signal used to cut the power, trigger an alarm, etc. Blocking directions: clockwise, anticlockwise, and bidirectional.
