Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a technical description of the FPC safety brakes designed for lifts, elevators, hoists, and other machinery. These brakes are mechanical units that prevent accidental falls by engaging when the descent rate exceeds a predetermined value.
Description: The FPC safety brake operates using centrifugal force to interlock the follower pinion against the elevator structure, progressively immobilizing the platform. It features an automatic reset mechanism that returns the brake to its original state after actuation. A microswitch is incorporated to cut power or activate alarms during interlocking.
Features: The brakes are compact, robust, and suitable for various industrial applications, including wind tower elevators and cranes. They are mechanically operated without external force or signals and are sealed for safety. The system is certified according to several European directives, ensuring compliance and safety.
Specifications: The FPC brakes are available in different sizes (FPC-500, FPC-1000, FPC-3500, FPC-6000) with varying locking speeds and torque capacities. They can be applied to diverse systems such as rack and pinion, drum-wire, and more. The brakes are available in unidirectional, bidirectional, double shaft, and special models.
Applications: The brakes are applicable to overhead doors, counterweights, palletizers, and other systems requiring safety mechanisms. They are designed to be mounted on different machines with ensured traceability.
Measurements: Detailed measurements for each brake size are provided, including dimensions and mounting specifications.

TECHNICAL SHEET SAFETY BRAKES Type FPC For lifts, elevators, hoists and other machines Automatic reset The FPC safety brake is a mechanical unit designed to prevent accidental falls in lifting gear motorized by transmission sprockets or rack and pinion devices. The system only operates when the descent rate exceeds a predetermined value. The sensor elements act by the action of Pinion centrifugal force and interlock the follower pinion against the Micro 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 Features FPC safety brakes prevent accidental falls in all types of lifting devices (pinion-rack, drum-wire, etc.). The long experience of our company in security requires us to the realization of the product. 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 parachute is sealed for safety, preventing the further Compact and robust, they are particularly suitable for installation in wind tower elevators, cranes and other industrial applications. The operation is completely mechanical. No force or external signal is required to work. 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 Left rack Right rack Automatic reset without manipulation backing to Descending spin Descending spin Counter roller 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.
