The Rowland Company is pleased to announce the introduction of a proprietary\u00a0Patented (US 8,448,922 B2)<\/strong>\u00a0brake design used in the stage rigging industry. This safety brake device is designed specifically for use in raising \/ lowering of theater curtains and orchestra pits with future expansion into any entertainment venue that involves the raising and lowering of stage equipment such as light standards and scenery. The device uses a combination of overrunning and spring applied clutches to ensure it is always applied. A specially treated friction material allows smooth, consistent performance.\u00a0Two of the most important features of the brake design, aside from safety, are quiet operation and minimal wear \/ maintenance of the brake unit.<\/strong>\u00a0The design has wide spread adaptability to other industries such as power generation, crane elevators, and mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
