Multiple brake temperature sensors feed an ECU and display to identify overheating wheels early and help prevent brake failure.
A tensioned cable and arrestor let ladder users prevent falls and descend in a controlled way without exposing rescuers to elevated hazards.
Automatic arm-and-trigger monitoring tracks motor brake magnet wear at set thresholds, reducing manual checks and improving maintenance safety.
Opposed inner ratchet locks and hydraulic sliding prevent monorail crane slip on steep, damp tracks despite low clamping pressure and wheel wear.
Wear sensor travel signals and state-dependent stiffness maps estimate brake clamping force without separate force sensors, cutting cost and maintenance.
A spring-biased foot lever lets a trolley brake contact the ground to hold heavy loads during loading or unloading, then reset automatically.
A compact brake pad sensor uses platinum RTDs and independent circuits to track wear and temperature accurately as the pad wears.
Brake shoes grip the side and bottom of rail heads to improve braking and secure holding in wet, icy, or unstable rail conditions.
A separate parking brake holds the elevator car on the drive track, relieving wheel loads to prevent tire flat spots and cut idle energy use.
An internal brake pin and disk on the elevator door motor keeps the car door closed between floors while reducing external maintenance.
