A new, compact, medium-resolution, speed sensor for conveyor belts from the Siemens Industry Automation Division is suitable for any industrial application with belt-driven conveyor pulleys, for example in the primary industry.
The lightweight, yet durable Sitrans WS100 is suitable in applications from -40 to 110°C. Typical applications include the mineral processing industry, in particular quarries or cement plants, with belt speeds up to 2 metres per second. The sensor monitors the belt speed for input to an integrator, which calculates flow rate, total weight, belt load, and speed of bulk materials. Sitrans WS100 can be combined with a Milltronics BW100 or BW500 integrator or Siwarex FTC PLC module, and a Milltronics belt scale for a complete weighing system.
Sitrans WS100 offers ease of installation through magnetic mounting – no modifications needed. The magnetic holding force is up to 68 kilograms. Constructed of polypropylene with type AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel sensor mount and cover, Sitrans WS100 includes corrosion resistant components that are robust and virtually maintenance-free. Additionally, the rotating targets are fully sealed ensuring safe operation. Sitrans WS100 is available in standard and intrinsically safe (IS) versions and is Nema 4/IP65 rated.
