I am working on a concept for an overspeed trip mechanism. I'm almost done with this except for this one thing: i need a locking mechanism that will hold a dead weight at a height so that this weight is only released only when the lock is actuated to realease it. But that's not all. When resetting the overspeed trip the weight is to be raised back to its original position to be locked again in this position. This resetting is done thru an arrangement of gears and a pulley. The weight is about 30N. I will very much appreciate helpful suggestions. I need a lock which will allow the 2 functions described above.
