Brake/backstop

If an inclined belt conveyor is stopped fully loaded, it could run backwards.

To prevent this we can install a backstop. One of the bearings in the drummotor is replaced by a one way bearing. The way this bearing is installed determines the direction of rotation of the Drum. TBRH indicates a cw rotation and TBLH acw.

In situations where a drummotor needs to be able to drive in both directions it is not possible to use a backstop. In this case we use a brake. When an declined belt or a horizontal belt needs to be stopped quickly to pick or place items a brake is the best solution.

If there is doubt about the use in your application do not hesitate to contact us.
