escalators

nnnn

What do the world's tallest building, the world's

nnnn

deepest mineshaft, and some of the world's

nnnn

busiest subway systems have in common? They

nnnn

all use elevators or escalators enhanced with

nnnn

Twiflex caliper brake technology.

nnnn

• For elevators, protects against ascending overspeed and

nnnn

unintended movement

nnnn

• For escalators, ensures stoppage in a smooth and safe

nnnn

manner when experiencing power or other system failure

nnnn

• Braking force from 20 kN to 60 kN

nnnn

• Highly modular - greater braking torques achievable with

nnnn

use of multiple brakes

nnnn

• Particular strength with long, heavy-duty escalators

nnnn

• Hydraulic power supply units also available

nnnn

• Overexcitation (dual voltage) or single voltage
