What if the rope does break
Jost AG has explored these questions as part of their quality management efforts and studied rope breakage behavior across a number of experiments. In these experiments, we were able to measure and confirm the results of the calculations in relation to acceleration, speed, and external forces.
Passive safety Passive safety denotes all constructive action taken to prevent injury to operating staff and/or to minimize the risk of such injury.
Key passive safety features include a robust construction of the cable pull machine, good tie-down support, and appropriate safety mechanisms.
Rope breakage: degrees of severity and implications What are the energetic effects in the event of a rope breakage? Is it possible to define a danger area for certain pulling directions? What about the safety of persons within operating range of the machine?
We took account of all these topics when designing our machines, and integrated them appropriately.
You can learn more on the topic of safety during one of our training sessions. Our machines are TÜV-certified |
