Abstract: A fall arrest device for blocking a rope when a relative speed between the rope and the device reaches a threshold value comprises a blocking mechanism for blocking the rope, and a trigger mechanism configured for triggering an activation lever of the blocking mechanism for activating the blocking mechanism, wherein the trigger mechanism comprises a drive axis rotated by the rope, the drive axis carrying a centrifugal weight holder, wherein at least one centrifugal weight is held acting against a restoring force of a spring and is movable between an inactive position and a trigger position for triggering the activation lever. The centrifugal weight holder is arranged rotatably relative to a release gear that comprises a toothing engagable by an actuator member of the at least one centrifugal weight, when the at least one centrifugal weight is in the trigger position.

Abstract: An endless cable winch includes a working cable, a housing, in which is mounted a driving cable pulley around at least a part of which the working cable is wrapped, and further includes a drive for driving the driving cable pulley, wherein the housing is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis, and a sensor is provided for detecting a pivoting movement of the housing for detecting an overload state of the working cable.

Abstract: An endless cable winch or hoist which is particularly suited for a service lift comprises a working cable and a safety cable, further comprises a driving cable pulley around at least a part of which the working cable is wrapped, further comprises a drive for driving the driving cable pulley, further comprises a non-driven safety cable pulley, which is rotatably mounted in a housing and around at least a part of which the safety cable is wrapped, and further comprises an arresting device which is coupled via a brake to the cable pulley and which blocks and brakes the safety cable by means of the brake when the safety cable moves with a predetermined speed at least in one direction.
