Backstop SMSR Gearbox

JIGER GEARS A **Backstop SMSR Gearbox** (Shaft Mounted Speed Reducer Gearbox) is an important component used in conveyor systems, particularly in industries like mining, stone crushing, and cement production. The gearbox reduces the speed from the motor to the conveyor belt, providing the necessary torque for moving heavy loads. The backstop mechanism integrated into the SMSR gearbox prevents reverse motion, ensuring safety and preventing potential damage.

### Key Features of Backstop SMSR Gearbox:

1. **Shaft-Mounted Design**:

   - **Function**: The gearbox is mounted directly on the driven shaft of the conveyor, eliminating the need for foundations and alignment. This design simplifies installation and maintenance.

2. **Backstop Mechanism**:

   - **Function**: The backstop is a mechanical device that allows the shaft to rotate in one direction only, preventing the conveyor from running backward when the motor is turned off or during a power failure.

   - **Application**: This is particularly important in incline conveyors, where the material could slide back and cause jams or equipment damage.

3. **Speed Reduction**:

   - **Function**: The gearbox reduces the input speed from the motor to a suitable level for the conveyor, increasing torque and making it easier to move heavy loads.

4. **Construction**:

   - **Material**: Typically constructed from high-grade cast iron or steel for durability and resistance to harsh conditions.

   - **Bearings**: Equipped with heavy-duty bearings that support the shaft and absorb radial and axial loads.

5. **Taper Bush System**:

   - **Function**: Allows easy mounting and dismounting of the gearbox on the shaft, offering flexibility in installation and maintenance.

6. **Lubrication**:

   - **Function**: The gearbox is usually filled with oil or grease to reduce friction between moving parts, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of the components.

### Applications:

- **Conveyors**: Widely used in belt conveyors in stone crushers, mines, and material handling plants.

- **Cranes and Hoists**: To control the lifting and lowering speeds.

- **Agitators and Mixers**: Where speed reduction and torque increase are required.

### Advantages:

- **Compact Design**: Saves space and simplifies the conveyor system layout.

- **High Efficiency**: Provides optimal speed reduction with minimal power loss.

- **Easy Installation**: The shaft-mounted design simplifies the installation process.

- **Safety**: The backstop mechanism prevents accidents caused by reverse motion.

### Maintenance Tips:

- **Regular Lubrication**: Ensure the gearbox is adequately lubricated to prevent wear and tear.

- **Inspect Backstop**: Regularly check the backstop mechanism for proper function.

- **Check Alignment**: Ensure the gearbox is correctly aligned with the conveyor shaft to avoid undue stress on the components.

- **Monitor Temperature**: Overheating can indicate issues with lubrication or excessive load.
