The invention relates to a method and to a safety brake for a lifting device, wherein a solenoid or another electromechanical actuator (A) is used to actuate a pawl (SK), wherein the position of the pawl (SK) is monitored by means of at least two switches or sensors (S1, S2), and wherein, by means of a safety-oriented controller and at least one sensor, the lowering motion of the load or of the lifting device is monitored and the safety brake is triggered in the event of a fault. The solenoid or the pawl (SK) is arranged in such a way that, by means of spring force and/or gravity, the pawl is brought into engagement when the actuator, for example the solenoid, is deenergized. By means of said safety brake, it is possible to exactly define and monitor the limit speed, upon the exceedance of which the safety brake should be triggered. By using the two sensors (S1, S2), e.g., switches, it is also possible, by means of the controller, to monitor the function and the motion of the pawl and to detect undesired operating states, for example in the cases in which the safety brake is engaged and the drive of the lifting device would like to lower the load further. |
