The Need For Adequate Backstops
Positive protection against reverse torque runaways of inclined
conveyor or elevator installations, and adequate provision
for the safety of operating personnel can be assured
by considering the following:
- The causes of reverse torque loading conditions.
- The importance of installing backstops on low speed
headshafts -- where reverse torque loads originate.
- Use of sound methods for selecting backstop sizes,
based on many years of successful installations, rather
than
theoretical reverse torque calculations.
- The basic design, operating principle and uniformly
high torque capacity of Marland One-Way backstops.
- The simple maintenance and lubrication requirements
of the Marland design.
