Gates Australia DraftGuard anti-rotation device

Gates Australia has a number of Power Transmission tools available for industry that have enhanced the way belts and drives are installed and maintained. The Gates DraftGuard anti-rotation device is designed to improve the safety of workers who are performing maintenance on fan drives. The DraftGuard anti-rotation device secures the fan drive, to prevent it from spinning backwards when maintenance is being performed. It is designed to protect the entire system from extreme shock loads during start-up that can cause unnecessary wear of the motor components.

The DraftGuard is designed with mounting holes for bushings including QD (E, F and J) and Taper-Lock (3020, 3535, 4030 or more) commonly found on ACHE belt drive systems, and features maintenance-free bearings with greased-for-life assembly. The DraftGuard’s applications include air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHE), cooling tower fans and air-cooled condensers.
