Featured Industrial Safety Braking Solutions

1. FPC Progressive Safety Gear (Parachute Brake)

The FPC safety brake is an overspeed-triggered protection system designed for vertical transport. It engages exclusively when the descent speed exceeds a pre-calibrated threshold, arresting the platform’s movement in a cushioned and progressive manner. It is the global engineering standard for preventing free-fall accidents in industrial lifts and hoists.

2. EC Centrifugal Brake

Engineered for passive speed control, the EC brake intervenes autonomously during motor failure or loss of descent control. Operating purely on centrifugal force, it requires no external power source, making it the ideal fail-safe component for ensuring a constant, controlled descent speed during emergency gravity drops.

3. DBQ Centrifugal Brake

The DBQ model merges the reliability of centrifugal braking with superior operational versatility. While it limits descent speed during motor faults, it features a strategic manual override capability, allowing the brake to be disabled when specific manoeuvres are required. It perfectly balances automated safety with technical flexibility.

4. FNB Negative Pneumatic Brake

The FNB brake operates on the fail-safe principle: braking is applied via spring pressure and released only when pneumatic pressure is present. Designed for both horizontal and vertical shafts, it stands out for its zero residual torque and instantaneous response time, significantly optimising machine duty cycles.
