This is achieved by incorporating an accumulator into the system.

The accumulator is kept charged at working pressure each time the Levelok chairing system is used.

Should the conditions for an emergency situation be met, oil is automatically released from the accumulator, thus activating the Levelok clamps, which then grip onto the shaft guides in a controlled manner. The deceleration rate is adjusted according to the individual customer's requirements.

The Levelok emergency braking system provides a safe, controlled deceleration with both steel and timber guides.

A stand alone emergency braking system, apart from the chairing function, is also available.
