An overspeed brake mounted on an elevator cage includes a shaft that carries a pinion engageable with a rack so that linear movement of the cage produces rotation of the shaft. A carrier rotated by the shaft has two pivotably mounted dogs thereon that move outwardly at a predetermined centrifugal force level to cause rotation of a separation ring. A spreader causes axial first separation between the first ring and a second separation ring in response to the rotation, forcing two brake surfaces together and stopping rotation of the shaft, thereby halting linear motion of the cage.
