  • Patent number: 8915335
    Abstract: The electrical braking device according to the present invention includes a braking element (2) which is formed, on the one hand, by electric jaws (7) and at least one sliding block (8) mounted in the proximity of the brake disk (3) in such a way that the latter passes at least partially through the electric jaws (7) and sliding block (8), and, on the other hand, by means (4) for fastening the electric jaws (7) and the sliding block (8) to the fixed frame (6) while providing the jaws and block with degrees of freedom obtained by the combination of different connections of the “flat plane contact” (FC), “point contact” (PC) and “annular linear contact” (AC) types, in order to compensate for the misalignments and defects in the shape of the brake disk (3) when the latter is driven in rotation.

  • Publication number: 20140333230
    Abstract: The device for recovering, storing and retrieving electricity from the decelerations of an electromechanical system such as a flexible curtain of a handling door is made up of a management interface (IG) connected to a frequency inverter (VF) and to a control logic board (CC) controlling the opening and closing of the flexible curtain of a handling door, the management interface (IG) including at least two power capacitors (C1, C2) connected to the grid via a first parallel branch, then connected to the grid during use of the energy by a serial connection in order to make it possible to store the energy from the decelerations and to retrieve the energy either during the following acceleration during opening of the flexible curtain or, in case of failure, to ensure sufficient opening of the flexible curtain of the handling door.

  • Publication number: 20140000815
    Abstract: The contact-free detection device for detecting the position of a winding drum (2) for a handling door is made up of a cam or code wheel (3) secured to the winding drum (2), inductive sensors (4, 5) positioned near the cam or code wheel (3), and an electronic board (7) including at least one prevention and security module (12) receiving the pulses generated by the inductive sensors (4, 5) so as to ensure the security of the rotation command of the driving axis of the winding drum (2) of the handling door.

  • Publication number: 20120247692
    Abstract: The vertically-opening goods-handling door includes an elastic retaining device (10) which include retaining elements (11) which, on the one hand, allow the screen or the flexible curtain (12) to be kept in a movement path between an open position and a closed position and, on the other hand, in the event of an anomaly, allow the screen or the flexible curtain (12) to deform elastically without the risk of the screen or of the flexible curtain (12) becoming unhinged or ejected from the lateral uprights (13, 14) and to revert to its initial shape after the anomaly has disappeared.
