12VDC Or 24 VDC Touchswitch Alignment Sensors Bucket Elevator Monitoring Kit
Touchswitch™
APPLICATION
Detects belt or pulley tracking and alignment problems on bucket elevators and conveyors.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The Touchswitch is an electro-mechanical limit switch with no moving parts, which detects tracking and misalignment problems on bucket elevators and conveyors. When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over and contacts the sensor, the built in solid-state electronic circuitry detects the lateral force of the belt or pulley and activates a voltage free relay contact. This relay contact is used to immediately alarm and shutdown the machine. The face of the sensor is made from hardened stainless steel, not soft brass or aluminum, so wear life is longer when a belt contacts it. The sensor is not affected by dust or material build up and will still work when completely covered by material. An external test knob allows for quick and simple sensor/system testing. The sensors are usually installed in pairs on opposite sides of the machine. The sensors can be connected directly to a PLC input, or for greater safety, to a central independent monitoring system, such as the T500 Hotbus or Watchdog Elite.Bucket Elevator Monitoring System Kit #1 (Touchswitch Alignment Sensors)
