🔍 Key Concepts

• Gravity davits operation and how lifeboats are launched safely • Role of track safety stops on davit tracks • What a limit switch normally does in electrical/mechanical systems

💭 Think About

• Think about what could happen if the davit arm were allowed to travel all the way until it physically hits the track safety stops under power. • Ask yourself whether a limit switch is usually designed to control speed, position, or both. • Consider at what point you would want the electric power cut off so that the davit can be safely controlled the rest of the way.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that track safety stops are last-resort mechanical stops, not routine stopping points under power. • Confirm that a limit switch is typically triggered before mechanical contact or damage occurs. • Check which option best reflects a preventive safety function rather than allowing impact and then cutting power.
