  • Highly reliable, functions as a strain gauge
  • Detects belt pressure on the elevator chute. Electromechanical limit switch with no moving parts, it detects and prevents pulley, belt or band misalignment on closed or open conveyors, as well as on all types of elevators
  • It reacts to the pressure exerted by the belt or conveyor belt which, when misaligned, comes into contact with the front of the sensor
  • A relay contact can then trigger an alarm or shut down the machine.
  • The sensors are normally installed in pairs, on either side of the machine.
  • The sensors can be connected directly to a programmable logic controller or – for total safety – to an independent central unit.

Belt alignment detectors

Alignment detectors ensure that the belts remain perfectly centred on the pulleys and buckets. Precise alignment:

  • reduces friction and wear

  • minimises production stoppages

  • increases belt service life

These detectors are essential for all industrial installations using bucket elevators.
