[WÄHRISCH, Sten] Wilhelm-Liebknecht-Straße 601257 Dresden The centrifugal positive locking brake works inversely, that means, locking upon stopping and decoupling on start-up. When the drive motor (6) is de-energized, the fixed ratchet(s) (8) hit against at least one locking abutment (9) on a locking disc positively fixed to the frame and lock the shutter. When voltage is applied, and with the associated quick start-up of the drive motor (6), the ratchet(s) (8) disengage because of their inertia. This centrifugal positive locking brake for shutter drives is operated with a specially designed control method. After the power supply is interrupted, the ratchet(s) are drawn inward by the reloaded spring(s) (5) so that they run against the locking abutment(s) (9) and the shutter reliably locks in this position.
