Mechanism
Progressive spring compression
Contact Spring Brake
Mechanical spring zipline brake
Spring packs and impact blocks absorb arrival energy through robust, legible components.
The idea
Designed around the complete ride.
The spring brake slows the rider by compressing springs along the cable. Impact blocks transfer the trolley’s force to the springs, creating a gradual braking effect.
The number, position and stiffness of the springs depend on the zipline, arrival speed, landing area and operating conditions.
