Tsubaki BS-F Series Backstop Cam Clutch

Product catalog summary
Overview: The TSUBAKI BS-F Series Cam Clutch is engineered for challenging environments, particularly in conveyor systems, to prevent reverse rotation. It features a labyrinth seal for dusty conditions, a compact design for easy installation, and a double lip oil seal with multi-temperature grease for a broad temperature range.
Specifications: The clutch operates effectively between -40°C and +65°C, suitable for high-speed applications, and offers a drop-in design requiring no layout modifications. It is pre-lubricated and needs annual maintenance.
Design Features: It includes a non-rollover cam and roller cage for durability during overrunning, with a cam design that supports higher backstop and excessive torque. The labyrinth design blocks dust and water, ideal for cement and mining conditions.
Installation and Usage: Recommended shaft tolerance is h7 or h8. The torque arm must be securely installed with a parallel key, and its end tip should have free movement to prevent damage.
Selection and Sizing: Proper BACKSTOP sizing is crucial to prevent reverse rotation and ensure safety. Selection involves calculating backstop torque based on maximum load and applying service factors. Dual drive applications require load sharing considerations.
Maintenance: Requires regular maintenance, including annual grease replacement with Exxon Mobil Beacon 325, avoiding mixing with other greases.
Safety and Warranty: Safety measures include locking out power before servicing and wearing protective gear. The warranty covers 18 months from shipment or 12 months from first use, with conditions that may void it, such as improper installation.
Warranty and Service Conditions: The warranty covers repair and replacement within the period if used and maintained per the manual, excluding removal, transportation, and profit loss costs.
Usage Instructions: Users should read the manual thoroughly before use. If unavailable, request it from the distributor. Modifications are discouraged, and periodic checks are recommended.
Disposal and Environmental Standards: Devices should be disposed of as industrial waste. The Tsubaki Eco Link logo indicates compliance with environmental standards.
Contact Information: Contact details for Tsubakimoto's offices in various regions are provided.

Mounting arrangement BACKSTOP Mounting Arrangements Preventing reverse rotation of inclined or vertical conveyor systems is one of the most common applications for BACKSTOPS. There are many configurations of conveyors systems that employ BACKSTOPS. This paper presents the most common types and provides examples and calculations needed to properly size BACKSTOP in order to maximize performance and improve safety of the conveying system. *Suggested arrangement may not meet local design standards, please check local design standards. Single and Dual Drives BACKSTOPS for low speed overrunning type...

Service Factor A backstop by definition are required to hold back a load from moving in a reverse direction. Care must be taken in calculating the torque requirements and should be based on maximum or worst case conditions and not average/normal loads. Because any failure of BACKSTOP might result in costly damage or injury, care must be exercised to consider all the possible loads and select appropriate service factors. The BACKSTOP needs to be sized for the breakdown or stalled torque of the drive motors. The following table shows typical service factors to be applied when size selecting BACKSTOPS....

Selection procedures by backstop torque INFORMATION FOR SELECTION 1 Selection Procedure Determine the mode of operation Refer to the selection procedure corresponding to the mode of operation For Belt Conveyors (Short inclined yard conveyors) Selection Procedure: 1. Calculate the power to move an empty belt and idlers: (P1) P1 = 0.06 × f × W × V × ℓ + ℓ0 (kW) 367 2. Calculate the power to move a loaded belt horizontally: (P2) P2 = f × Qt × ℓ + ℓ0 (kW) 367 3. Calculate the power to move the load vertically: (P3) P3 = h × Qt (kW) 367 4. Calculate the back stop power: (Pr) Pr = P3 – 0.7(P1 + P2)...

For details, see the manual supplied with the product. Recommended shaft tolerance is h7 or h8. Before installation, verify that the direction of the rotation of the inner race of the BS-F Cam Clutch (shown by the arrow on the end face of the inner race) is the same as the direction of the rotation of the conveyor. Securely install the torque arm to the BS-F Cam Clutch using furnished torque arm pins and cotter pins. Apply pressure only on the end face of the inner race when inserting the BS-F Cam Clutch on to the shaft. Do not hit the inner race directly with a hammer or apply pressure on the...
