Elevators are essential tools for modern commuting. Consequently, their safety remains a top priority for every passenger. Today, GOTS Elevator is proud to introduce a vital partner of the traction machine. It is a key member of our safety system. Specifically, we are talking about the Elevator Brake, also known as the “holding brake.”
What is an Elevator Brake?
The brake is the most critical safety component in an elevator system. It is installed directly on the traction machine. Furthermore, it acts as the primary safety lock for the entire lift. At GOTS Elevator, we use high-precision brakes to ensure maximum reliability. In conclusion, this small part plays a massive role in building safety.
The Vital Roles of the Brake
The elevator brake serves two main functions to protect passengers:
Emergency Stopping: If the power is cut, the brake automatically stops the moving car. Consequently, this prevents the car from falling or moving out of control.
Maintaining Stillness: After the elevator reaches its floor, the brake keeps the car completely static. Therefore, it prevents any accidental movement while passengers enter or exit.
Professional Inspection and Maintenance
To ensure long-term safety, regular maintenance is mandatory. At GOTS, we follow a strict inspection process.
Gap Adjustment: Our technicians check the gap between the moving and static iron cores.
Noise Control: We adjust the operation noise to ensure a quiet environment.
Signal Testing: We verify the brake micro-switch signals for precise control.
Wear Inspection: We regularly check the wear level of the brake pads.
Manual Testing: Furthermore, we ensure the manual release function works perfectly.
Load Testing: We check for any sliding or slipping when the machine is under full load.
The GOTS Quality Commitment
At GOTS Elevator, our Industry 4.0 production standards ensure that every brake is built to last. Furthermore, we only recommend using GOTS Original Parts for maintenance. Consequently, these parts offer the best compatibility and performance. With over 70 patents and global certifications like CE and ISO9001, we provide a “worry-free” experience for every user.
