The escalator brake, also known as an electromagnetic brake, is specifically designed for Schindler escalators. It is a key braking component installed on the top of the traction machine, working in coordination with the drive system to ensure safe and controlled escalator operation.
Main Functions
Anti-slip protection when stopped
When the escalator is in a stopped condition, the brake unit prevents unintended movement caused by external forces, ensuring the escalator remains securely in place.
Emergency braking during operation
In emergency situations, such as when the emergency stop button is activated, the brake unit responds immediately to provide rapid and effective braking.
System safety assurance
The brake works together with the traction machine to deliver consistent and reliable braking performance throughout the escalator’s service life.
