7.3 Hoist Motor Brake and Load-Limiting Device
The hoisting motor is equipped with a D.C. electromagnetic disc brake. The brake brings the load to a
smooth and quick stop and holds the load when the motor is not energized. An energized coil releases the
hoist brake to allow the hoisting motor to run freely when in use.
The load-limiting device is a slip clutch and it is integrated into the design of the hoist motor brake. Even if
the clutch slips, once power is removed, the brake will engage to stop and hold the load.
