Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Falk True Hold Low Speed Backstop?

A Falk True Hold Low Speed Backstop is designed for low-speed reverse-rotation prevention, commonly used on bucket elevators, conveyors, and other equipment where standard backstops aren’t rated for the application’s speed range.

How is a True Hold Low Speed Backstop different from a standard Falk backstop?

A Falk True Hold Low-Speed Backstop is a separate, externally mounted backstop designed to operate on a gearbox output shaft or conveyor head shaft. Because it is installed on the low-speed side of the drive, it is sized to hold the higher torque present at that location. Its external mounting also makes inspection and maintenance easier without disassembling the gear drive.

A standard Falk gear-drive backstop is generally integrated with the drive and operates on a higher-speed, lower-torque shaft. It provides the same basic function: preventing reverse rotation, but differs primarily in its mounting location, operating speed, torque requirement, and service accessibility.

What applications commonly use True Hold Low Speed Backstops?

True Hold Low Speed Backstops are commonly used on inclined conveyors, bucket elevators, and similar equipment where a stopped drive could allow the load to cause reverse rotation. They are also used in applications such as fans, rotary pumps, and kilns. The backstop automatically prevents reverse rotation when the drive stops or power is interrupted.
