The blocking direction of the backstop can be changed by turning over the cage. You must
always contact Flender in advance if you wish to change the blocking direction.
NOTICE
Damage to the backstop and gear unit due incorrect direction of rotation
Damage to the backstop and gear unit due incorrect direction of rotation possible.
Do not operate the motor adversely to the blocking direction of the gear unit. Observe the note
attached to the gear unit.
3.8 Torque limiting backstop (special version)
Introduction
A torque-limiting backstop is available for special applications, e.g. for twin drives. This backstop
is a combination of a backstop with centrifugally-operated sprags and a brake.
Principle of operation
The sliding torque is adjusted using a number of springs. As a result of the "slippage", the gear
unit and the sprags of the backstop are protected against inadmissibly high stresses when
rotating backward. In addition, for twin drives, the load is uniformly distributed across both gear
units when rotating backwards.
