Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0884067A1] A roller (4) has a flyback-block preventing the roller from rotating during lowering. The cable-brake (1) has cable-speed meter (3,16) co-operating with the cable (7) brake (9,10) where the speed-meter comprises a friction wheel (3) frictionally applied to the roller. The cable-speed meters contain a centrifugal unit (16) with a rotary arrangement of weights (26). The weights enclose a rotary core (27) in symmetrical formation, and have radial guides (28), preferably pins, protruding from it and holding the weights radially and movably. The weights are peripherally pre-tensioned against the core by a sprung elastic element (31) preferably in the form of a spiral spring. Couplings (15,32-34) transmit the effect of the centrifugal force on the weights onto the cable-brake.
