BRAKE MEMBER ACTUATION MECHANISM

摘要

A brake member actuation mechanism for a safety brake member of a hoisted structure includes a brake actuator (12) formed of a ferro-magnetic material configured to be electronically actuated to magnetically engage a guide rail(14) upon detection of the hoisted structure exhibiting a predetermined condition, wherein the magnetic engagement of the brake actuator and the guide rail actuates movement of the safety brake member into a braking position.
