Abstract: The invention relates to a safety brake for an elevator, a centrifugal regulator and a way of using this in a safety brake. According to the invention, the safety brake comprises a centrifugal regulator (3), a shaft (4), which rotates due to a coupling (5) to the elevator, a first (6) and a second (8) brake part movable against each other with friction surfaces (10, 11), the first brake part being rotatable with the shaft, a spring assembly (30) with which the brake parts are spring-biased with a pressure force, on release the centrifugal regulator is provided to couple the shaft (4) to the first brake part (6) to force rotation on it.
