GMN backstops with momentum lever are used in applications wherever a restoring torque from the driven end of shaft must be avoided.
Typical examples are i.e. cranes, freight elevators, winches, conveyer belts and gear motors.
The company "Kumera", Finland, uses GMN backstops in their gear motors for decades.
Backstops are also often used as security device in conveyer systems, cranes or winches.
Other applications are industrial fans as they can be found i.e. in huge air-conditioning units with several fans in a row. The backstop prevents stationary rotors from rotating into the wrong direction due to the suction of one or more rotating rotors.
The company Stringbike enters the market with a revolutionary new drive system - provided with GMN-freewheel-clutches.
