Chain Backdriving

Hi all,
One thing I've noticed in many of the Ri3D videos is that the chain or pull lifted mechanisms tend to slip a little bit while they are not powered. Is there a simple and elegant way of preventing this problem? I'm aware of leadscrew anti-backlash nuts and I'm wondering if there is something similar for chain.
