Tsubaki: External high-speed backstops

Tsubaki launches BRUS backstops, a line of external, high-speed overrunning backstops that utilizes a felt ring seal and labyrinth body seal design to prevent grease leaking or ingress of contaminants.

BRUS backstops

The Tsubaki cam design provides non-rollover protection and “lift-off” operation to ensure a low operating temperature and long life. The flexible design of the BRUS torque arm allows for re-use during regular maintenance and replacement.
