Introduction

Every elevator layers multiple independent safety devices. Elevator safety components — governors, safety gears, buffers, and UCMP devices — form the last line of defense.

Speed Governors and Safety Gears

Governors monitor car speed; safety gears grip guide rails if descent exceeds safe limits. Never substitute without verifying trip speed charts and approval listings.

Sourcing Replacement Safety Components

• Match nameplate model and serial traceability
• Confirm approval listing for destination country
• Use factory or authorized supply channels
• Document installation and test results after replacement
