Output direction of rotation with backstop

The backstop is used to prevent unwanted directions of rotation. During operation, the backstop permits rotation only in the specified direction. For drives with RS backstop, you must also specify the output direction of rotation of the drive.

For right-angle gear units, you must also specify whether the direction of rotation is specified with a view to the A-side or B-side.

The direction of rotation is determined as viewed onto the output shaft (LSS):

  • Clockwise rotation (CW)
  • Counterclockwise rotation (CCW)

The permitted direction of rotation is indicated by a direction arrow on the housing:
