An elevator disc brake is rigidly attached to a shaft attaching to an elevator sheave. The disc brake includes a rotating disc and a non-rotating plate, the plate being driven towards the disc by a plurality of springs and moved away from the disc an electromagnet. Gaps between the plate and the disc and between the electromagnet and the plate are readily adjustable an adjustable spring seat.

Elevator disc brake

An adjustable device for vibration damping and leveling of machines consisting of an elastic element with a constant thickness, with notches which facilitate its separation in order to obtain the correct support surface and so that the deformation in all the supports is constant, maintaining the horizontal leveling of the machine and good absorption of vibrations. The elastic elements include cavities distributed along the length thereof, in which elastic inserts adjusted to the geometry thereof can be housed in order to appropriately increase the total contact surface and resistance to deformation of the device.
