C. BACKSTOPPING TO PREVENT REVERSE ROTATION<br />

Backstopping is used to<br />

prevent the rotating shaft from<br />

rotating in the reverse direction.<br />

The Cam Clutch continues<br />

overrunning while the shaft<br />

rotates normally, and it<br />

engages to prevent reverse<br />

shaft rotation just before it is<br />

about to occur.<br />

Behavior and function of<br />

Cam Clutch<br />

Normally, the inner race is<br />

mounted on the rotation shaft,<br />

and the outer race is fixed to<br />

the machine frame. The inner<br />

race is thus set on the<br />

overrunning side. As soon as<br />

the shaft begins to rotate in<br />

reverse, the cams engage with<br />

the inner and outer races to<br />

prevent reverse rotation and<br />

support the load.<br />

Prevention of reverse rotation of inclined and vertical<br />

conveyors is a typical example of how backstopping<br />

is used. The following A, B, and C types are available<br />

for different Cam Clutch mounting positions, and the<br />

series listed are designed to handle each<br />

specification.<br />

Three classifications<br />

Backstopping is classified into three types depending<br />

on the overrunning speed and load conditions.<br />
