PFB Overspeed Governors
PFB’s Overspeed Governors are critical safety devices designed to detect excessive elevator speed and activate stopping mechanisms to protect passengers and equipment. Manufactured in Italy, these governors comply with European safety standards (EN81-20/50) and are widely used by elevator manufacturers, installers, and maintenance professionals worldwide.
Monodirectional and Bidirectional Overspeed Governors
R1 Series – Available as monodirectional or bidirectional overspeed governors with various pulley sizes.
R3 Monodirectional – Designed for modernization and lighter-speed applications.
R5 Monodirectional – Includes R5 variants with adjustable features for different elevator needs.
R6 Monodirectional – Larger pulley monodirectional governors for higher capacities.
Bidirectional Overspeed Governors
LK Series – Bidirectional governors (e.g., LK120, LK200, LK250, LK300, LK315) suitable for rope diameters and various speeds.
LX Series – Bidirectional governors in the LX family (e.g., LX120, LX150, LX180, LX200) for compact or specific applications
PFB Pulleys
PFB Pulleys are components used in elevator systems to guide or transmit the movement of ropes, ensuring smooth, reliable operation of the lift car and counterweight. They include various pulley designs for different applications, from rope deflection to traction and heavy-load guidance.
PFB Elevator Pulley Product Types:
Standard Divertor Pulleys – Deflection pulleys with ball bearings, available in multiple diameters and rope counts for general elevator rope routing.
Divertor Pulleys for High Static Load – Heavy-duty divertor pulleys designed for applications with higher static rope loads.
Homelifts Pulleys – Smaller pulleys suited for homelift systems with various rope diameters and load capacities.
Traction Pulleys – Mounted directly on the winch or gearbox to drive the rope in traction-driven elevator machines.
Solid Pulleys for Hydraulic Lifts – Blind pulleys for hydraulic elevator rope guidance, assembled with ball bearings.
Special/Custom Pulleys – Tailor-made pulley solutions for specific elevator, goods lift, or bespoke applications.
PFB Tension Weights
PFB Tension Weights are devices used in elevator systems to keep the overspeed governor rope under proper tension, ensuring the governor can function reliably and trigger safety interventions when needed. They are equipped with safety contacts that detect rope slack or excessive elongation to support safe elevator operation.
PFB Elevator Tension Weight Product Types:
R4MC with Spring – Compact spring-loaded tension weight for maintaining constant rope tension.
R4M with Spring – Spring tension weight with optional pulleys (ø 120–200 mm), adaptable to floor or guide-rail fixing.
R4K Horizontal – Horizontal tension weight, fixed to the rail with cantilevered weight opposite the sheave.
R4X Horizontal – Another horizontal model offering rope-tensioning for specific governor configurations.
R4SR 120 Horizontal – Horizontal tension weight variant with a 120 mm pulley.
R4VS Vertical – Vertical tension weight with counterweight aligned with the pulley, suitable for floor or rail fixing.
R4T Vertical – Vertical tension weight design for standard elevator installations.
R4R Vertical – Vertical tension weight fixed directly to the guide rail.
R4V Vertical – Additional vertical tensioner option for various elevator setups.
PFB Instantaneous Safety Gears
PFB Instantaneous Safety Gears are safety devices for elevator systems that engage rapidly to clamp onto guide rails and stop the car if the overspeed governor detects excessive speed, helping prevent uncontrolled descent or ascent. These gears are designed for different guide-rail sizes, load capacities and applications, and they comply with relevant European elevator safety norms.
PFB Elevator Instantaneous Safety Gear Product Types:
BP1 | BP2 | BP3 (Single-Roller) – Instantaneous safety gears with one roller for various guide-rail diameters and load ranges.
BP4 Monoroller – Single-roller instantaneous safety gear for 8 mm, 9 mm and 10 mm guide-rails, TÜV-approved for lift use.
SP50 | SP50/B | SP60 (Double-Roller) – Instantaneous safety gears with two rollers, suitable for guide-rails from ~6 mm to 16 mm and a range of load capacities.
BP100 Monoroller for High Loads – Heavy-capacity monoroller safety gear for larger guide-rails and higher-load installations.
PFB Rope Anchorages
PFB Rope Anchorages are devices used in elevator systems to securely fix and terminate steel ropes used for overspeed governors, tensioning systems and other safety-critical rope applications, helping ensure stable and reliable rope anchorage. These anchorages are produced in various lengths and configurations, and many are TÜV certified to EN 13411-7 for quality and safety in lift installations.
PFB Elevator Rope Anchorage Product Types:
Standard Rope Anchorages – Fixed anchorage points for ropes (Ø 4 mm to 16 mm) without springs or buffers.
Rope Anchorages CK1 / CK2 / CK6 (10MA – 16MA) T247 – Certified anchorages with specific configurations identified by CK codes.
Eyebolts – Anchoring hardware used to secure rope ends through eyebolt mounting.
PFB Instantaneous Safety Gears
PFB Instantaneous Safety Gears are safety devices for elevator systems that engage rapidly to clamp onto guide rails and stop the car if the overspeed governor detects excessive speed, helping prevent uncontrolled descent or ascent. These gears are designed for different guide-rail sizes, load capacities and applications, and they comply with relevant European elevator safety norms.
PFB Elevator Instantaneous Safety Gear Product Types:
