The VG5 safety gears are suitable for general use with a capacity of up to 2,545kg for a trip speed of 0.5m/s and 1,680kg for a trip speed of 4.0m/s. The VG range of safety gears can accommodate Cold Drawn, Machined and Aluminium guide rails with a blade width between 9 and 19mm as standard.
VG5 safety gears are unique in the VG range of safety gears, as they provide bi-directional protection (TD1.7.1) against overspeeding within a single frame. The VG5 safety gears can be used where pit depth is a concern, with a space saving of 127mm when compared to duplexed VG2a or VG6 units.
