PGR Gear Units with Backstop Prevent Reverse Rotation
When reverse rotation is not an option: PGR gear units with a backstop.
On an inclined conveyor, the load may try to drive the mechanism backwards after a stop. A backstop addresses this by blocking rotation in one direction.
The photo shows an industrial PGR gear unit with a substantial housing, foot mounting and a projecting output shaft.
🔹 Bevel gearing changes the direction of power transmission by 90°.
🔹 The backstop prevents reverse rotation in the specified direction.
🔹 Output shaft dimensions and configuration must match the driven mechanism.
A backstop is not a service brake and does not provide holding in both directions. Whether a separate brake is required depends on the application and its requirements.
