Patent ID: 11975945

Abstract:
A frictionless safety brake actuator (100), a braking system, and an elevator system. The frictionless safety brake actuator (100) for use in an elevator system, includes: a fixed component (110); a movable component (130), configured to be moveable between a first position in which a safety brake is actuated and a second position in which the safety brake is not actuated; a biasing element (120) arranged between the fixed component (110) and the movable component (130) to apply a biasing force to the movable component (130) to bias the movable component (130) away from the fixed component (120) towards the first position; an actuating element (140) connected to the movable component (130); a holding arrangement (150) comprising a latch (154) and a first actuator (152), wherein the first actuator (152) is configured to be selectively operable to move the latch (154) between a holding position and a release position.
