Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Falk Horizontal Shaft Backstop?

A Falk Horizontal Shaft Backstop is an externally mounted device that allows a horizontal shaft to rotate in its normal direction but prevents reverse rotation. It mounts directly on the equipment shaft and uses a torque arm to transfer the backstopping load to the supporting structure, rather than being installed internally within a gear drive.

How is a Horizontal Shaft Backstop different from other Falk backstop types?

A Falk Horizontal Shaft Backstop is a self-contained, externally mounted backstop installed directly on a shaft with a substantially horizontal rotational axis. Unlike backstops installed internally within a gear drive or mounted as gear-drive accessories, it uses a torque arm to transfer the backstopping load to the supporting structure. Selection depends on the required holding torque, overrunning speed, shaft size, and mounting arrangement.

What applications use Horizontal Shaft Backstops?

Horizontal Shaft Backstops are commonly used on inclined conveyors, bucket elevators, fans, rotary pumps, kilns, and similar equipment with substantially horizontal shafts where reverse rotation or rollback must be prevented.
