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 />
