Passively actuated braking system

A movement system configured for moving a payload, the movement system comprising:

• a pair of rails extending in spaced and generally parallel relationship to one another;
• a bridge crane operatively attached to the pair of rails and movable along the pair of rails along an X axis;
• a trolley operatively attached to the bridge crane and movable along the bridge crane along a Y axis;
• a handle pivotally extending from the trolley;
• a first braking module and a second braking module;
• a plurality of cables operatively interconnecting the handle and each of the first braking module and the second braking module;
• wherein the first braking module is operatively attached to the bridge crane and configured to be selectively actuated by one of the cables in response to pivoting the handle relative to the trolley to decelerate movement of the bridge crane along the X axis;
• and
• wherein the second braking module is operatively attached to the trolley and configured to be selectively actuated by another one of the cables in response to pivoting the handle relative to the decelerate movement of the trolley along the Y axis;
• wherein each of the first and second braking modules includes a base, operatively attached to a respective one of the bridge crane and the trolley, and a wheel assembly, operatively attached to the base;
• wherein each of the first and second wheel assemblies includes a shaft, a clutch, and a braking wheel;
• wherein the shaft is operatively attached to the base;
• wherein the clutch is rigidly attached to the shaft and configured for rotation with the shaft about the rolling axis;
• wherein the braking wheel axially surrounds the clutch;
• and
• wherein the clutch is configured to selectively allow rotation of the braking wheel relative to the shaft in only one direction of rotation to decelerate the payload.
