Speed Control Sensors

Speed sensors are used for reliable speed detection of a conveyor belt scale. They provide a signal to an integrator to calculate belt speed, belt loading, rate and  weight. Siemens provides wheel-driven return belt and bidirectional, shaft-driven speed sensors that are cost effective and easy to install.

Honeywell offers many kinds of VRS industrial speed sensors, including general purpose, high resolution, explosion proof, molded, high output, power output, sealed front-end, sealed front-end high temperature, intrinsically safe, miniature, sub miniature, and high temperature VRS sensors.

Cherry’s geartooth speed and speed & direction sensors feature advanced electronics for demanding applications, including transmission speed sensing for on-road and off-road vehicles. They are available in a variety of styles and configurations to meet most design needs.

Motion Sensors offers hall effect, variable resistance (VR), RF (Eddy Current), amplified (Active), and magnetoresistive (MR) speed sensors. All speed sensor types are available in models that are ATEX certified for intrinsic safety.

Marsh Electronics offers solid state hall effect geartooth speed sensors with either stainless steel or aluminum housings, and flange mount gear sensors rated at 150C. Also available are hall effect geartooth speed & direction sensors with adjustable aluminium or flange-mount plastic housings.

Mid-State Instruments is a distributor and manufacturer's rep offering the Electro-Sentry Hazard Monitoring that combines shaft speed, belt alignment, and bearing temperature into one, easy to use stand alone hazard monitoring system. Also offered is their hall effect sensor in a "one size fits all" configuration capable of operating across broad range of target sizes and offering flexible gap distance set up (up to 3mm).
