Area of Application
The ISOSTOP systems are generally characterized by a slim design. This makes transport and installation in high alpine terrain much easier. They are an effective and efficient system used to protect life, infrastructure and other elements at risk. ISOSTOP 1:1 scale tested carrying both European and Swiss certifications.
Rope Guidances
The upper and lower bearing ropes are led through a rope guidance that is integrated on each post head and base plate. Each guidance provides large curved surfaces to help protect the ropes and allow unobstructed movement. The guidance is designed to be robust and with no movable parts in order to ensure longevity and zero maintenance.
Post
Posts from this ISOSTOP system are built from RHP profiles that provide high torsional rigidity and extremely low weight.
Base Plate
As with all fixed-rotation systems, the base plate is integrated into the post. The lower bearing rope is led through a guidance attached to the base plate having a curved surface both horizontally and vertically to assist deflection of the rope. The base of the post is secured to the foundation/subsurface through three bolts or rock anchors.
ISODISK Brake Element
The ISODISK is a modular disc brake system that ensures linear energy absorption through deformation and the breaking of material bridges. This means that the brake is completely insensitive to environmental and climate influences in the long term. Due to its reliability, compact design and modular structure, the brake forms the core element of all ISOSTOP Ev systems up to 3000 kJ.
