Key Features
-
Aluminium Body
- The sensor has a durable, lightweight aluminum casing, making it resistant to corrosion and suitable for harsh industrial environments.
-
Pulsed Output Type E3 (10-30V DC)
- This indicates the sensor operates within a 10-30V DC power range and provides a pulsed output signal (likely a square wave or frequency signal).
- Pulsed output sensors are typically used for speed monitoring in conveyor belts, screens, and other rotating machinery.
-
Totally Sealed Solid-State Operation
- The sensor is fully sealed, protecting it from dust, moisture, and contaminants.
- Being a solid-state device, it has no moving parts, which enhances reliability and longevity.
Applications: Monitoring Vibrating Screens
The sensor is used for condition monitoring in vibrating screens to detect issues such as:
- Slowdown → Indicates reduced screen speed, potentially due to motor or drive issues.
- Stoppage → Detects when the screen has stopped functioning entirely, preventing material buildup.
- Breakage → Identifies screen damage or failure, allowing for timely maintenance.
- Irregular Vibration → Detects abnormal vibration patterns, which could indicate loose components or mechanical failure.
- V-Belt Damage → Monitors issues with the V-belts driving the screen, preventing unexpected downtime.
Integration with SR4000 Series Speed Relays or PLCs
- The sensor is designed to work with SR4000 speed relays or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
- When an issue is detected, the system can:
- Trigger an alarm to alert operators.
- Stop the screen drive motor to prevent damage.
- Stop the infeed conveyor to prevent overloading or spillage.
This setup is essential for predictive maintenance in industrial operations, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
