Product Description

An Elevator Overspeed Governor is a critical safety device installed in elevator systems to prevent the elevator car from moving at an unsafe speed, especially during a free fall or uncontrolled downward movement.

The governor continuously monitors the speed of the elevator car through a governor rope connected to the elevator safety gear. Under normal operation, the governor rotates freely. If the elevator exceeds its preset safe speed (usually due to a failure in the traction system, control system, or suspension components), the governor activates and performs the following actions:

  1. Detects overspeed condition The governor mechanism senses that the elevator is moving faster than the allowed limit.
  2. Trips the safety mechanism A centrifugal or electronic sensing system locks the governor.
  3. Stops the governor rope movement The locked governor pulls the safety gear linkage.
  4. Activates safety brakes The elevator car safety gear grips the guide rails and slows or stops the car safely.
  5. Cuts power (in many systems) An electrical switch may disconnect power to the elevator drive system.

Main Components:

  • Governor pulley/sheave Rotates with elevator movement.
  • Governor rope Connects the governor to the elevator safety gear.
  • Flyweights or sensors Detect excessive speed.
  • Trip mechanism Locks the governor during overspeed.
  • Safety switch Sends a signal to stop elevator operation.
  • Safety gear linkage Transfers the action to the car brakes.

Types of Overspeed Governors:

  • Mechanical centrifugal governor Uses rotating weights to detect overspeed.
  • Electronic overspeed governor Uses sensors and control electronics for monitoring and activation.




Reliable Safety Mechanism for Elevators

Engineered to enhance safety, this overspeed governor responds instantly to abnormal elevator speeds, activating integrated safety jaws to prevent accidents. The device's centrifugal mechanism guarantees precise operation for elevators with speeds up to 2.5 m/s and lifting weights up to 2000 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of passenger and freight applications.


Flexible Installation and Maintenance

The governor can be conveniently mounted in either machine rooms or shaft heads, adapting to various elevator layouts. Its mechanical drive system allows for unlimited lifting heights, and the low maintenance design ensures minimal downtime. Periodic inspections support its 10-year minimum lifespan, ensuring continued optimal performance.


Precise Engineering for Enhanced Durability

Constructed from high-quality cast iron and steel, the governor features a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. The device's dual-pulley design (governor and tension pulley) coupled with a noise level of below 65 dB provides a long-lasting, quiet, and reliable solution for modern elevators.

FAQ's of Mechanical Overspeed Governor:


Q: How does the mechanical overspeed governor ensure elevator safety?

A: The overspeed governor monitors the speed of the elevator continuously. If the speed exceeds the preset tripping range (0.5 m/s to 2.5 m/s), the centrifugal/ mechanical mechanism triggers the integrated safety jaw, bringing the elevator car safely to a halt and preventing overspeed-related accidents.

Q: What is the process for installing this overspeed governor?

A: Installation involves mounting the governor either in the machine room or at the shaft head, connecting it with compatible cables (6-10 mm diameter), and adjusting the tripping speed as required. It is essential to ensure both pulleys are aligned and the manual reset is accessible for periodic inspections.

Q: When is manual reset required for this governor?

A: Manual reset is necessary after the governor has been activated and the safety jaws engaged due to an overspeed event. Maintenance personnel must inspect the system and manually reset the device to ensure it is ready for continued operation.

Q: Where can this governor be used?

A: This overspeed governor is suitable for both passenger and freight elevators, providing safety for elevator systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It can be installed wherever enhanced speed monitoring and safety actuation are required.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this overspeed governor in elevators?

A: Key advantages include reliable speed monitoring, effective accident prevention through mechanical safety jaws, durable construction for a minimum ten-year lifespan, adaptability to different lift types and capacities, and low maintenance requirements.

Q: How often does the overspeed governor require maintenance or inspection?

A: Routine maintenance is low, but periodic inspections are necessary to verify functionality, check tripping speed settings, and ensure proper mechanical function and cable tension. Regular checks help extend the unit's operational life and maintain compliance with safety standards.

Q: What makes this governor suitable for high-capacity and high-lifting-height elevators?

A: With a capacity of up to 2000 kg and no practical limit to lifting height (dependent on hoist installation), combined with a mechanical, rope-driven design, this governor accommodates a wide array of modern elevator configurations in large buildings.
