A detachable centrifugal brake (1) provided for lift equipment, comprising a central core (2) linked to a rotation shaft attached to motor means, an inner drum (4) having a contact surface provided to come into contact with brake elements which act due to the effects of centrifugal force. Furthermore, releasable coupling means are provided for locking/unlocking the inner drum (4) with respect to a stationary portion externally enveloping the inner drum (4), such that in a first operating position the inner drum (4) is integrally coupled to the outer drum while in a second operating position the inner drum (4) is free to rotate on its own shaft by means of the arrangement of rotation means. The coupling means include actuation means which act on the coupling means.
A detachable centrifugal brake (1) for lift equipment, comprising a central core (2) linked to a rotation shaft attached to motor means, an inner drum (4) having a contact surface provided to come into contact with brake elements which act due to the effects of centrifugal force, including releasable coupling means for locking/unlocking the inner drum (4) with respect to a stationary portion externally encompassing the inner drum (4), such that in a first operating position the inner drum (4) is integrally coupled to an outer drum (6) while in a second operating position the inner drum (4) is free to rotate on its own shaft by means of the arrangement of rotation means, wherein the coupling means include actuation means which act on the coupling means, characterised in that the coupling means comprise a retention system for locking the inner drum (4), such retention system being able to be actuated due to the effects of the actuation means, the retention system having a toothed region (8) linked to the inner drum (4) wherein a toothed section (90) linked to the actuation means is able to be coupled, comprising the actuation means a pin (9) adjustable in position including a toothed section (90) able to be coupled in a releasable manner with the toothed region (8) of the inner drum (4), the pin (9) being housed in a housing present in the outer drum (6) and wherein the pin comprises two recesses present along the length thereof, being configured to couple an additional pin (12), wherein each of the recesses corresponds to a corresponding operating position.
