The motor brake is a crucial component of a safe and efficiently functioning elevator. With time and usage, the brake’s parts can wear down or even break. It’s essential to address these straightforward maintenance items before they evolve into significant functional or safety problems.

By monitoring the brake’s switches, the A100-BMD brake monitor detects failures to pick or drop, worn brake pads, open or shorted solenoid coils, and other common brake issues. Early intervention in addressing these problems can help prevent sudden car jerking, drifting after leveling, entrapments, and other safety hazards.
