An energy-absorbing force limiter arrangement comprising a force applying mechanism 6 which forces a brake element 5 against a moving item, for example a safety-belt 2 to create a frictional force. A calculator 12 calculates the desired frictional force from various sensors which sense, for example, occupant weight 13, occupant position 14 and crash violence 15. A sensor 10 senses belt speed and a further sensor 11 senses the temperature of the brake element 5 and signals from these sensors are used by the controller 9 to adjust the coefficient of friction between the brake elements 5 and the safety-belt 2. |
