FPC: The brake that stops automatically
A lifting platform loses traction.
A rack and pinion system fails.
The shaft spins free.
Without protection, what follows is an uncontrolled drop.
The EIDE FPC safety brake acts at that moment. When the descent speed exceeds the nominal speed by 30% to 50%, the centrifugal sensors progressively and smoothly lock the shaft, with no shock, no electrical connection, and no external signal required.
Nothing needs to activate it. It works on a purely mechanical principle.
- Four models
- Unidirectional or bidirectional configuration
- Single shaft, dual shaft (double mast), and hollow shaft options
- Automatic reset
- Microswitch included for status signalling
The FPC is used in construction hoists, work platforms, industrial lifts, port cranes, wind towers, and any industrial application with rack and pinion lifting or direct mounting on the shaft to be protected.
If you have an active project or a pending specification, our technical team can help you select the right model.
