Vibration Sensor

Key Features

1. Aluminium Body

   • The sensor has a durable, lightweight aluminum casing, making it resistant to corrosion and suitable for harsh industrial environments.

2. 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.

3. 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:
  1. Trigger an alarm to alert operators.
  2. Stop the screen drive motor to prevent damage.
  3. Stop the infeed conveyor to prevent overloading or spillage.

This setup is essential for predictive maintenance in industrial operations, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
