Rotating machinery: increasing safety and performance in mining

Iteca Socadei’s new DDR heavy duty rotation sensor is suitable for use with any rotating machines, such as belt conveyors. Continuous monitoring of the equipment – reporting overspeed, underspeed and stops – can raise the lifespan of proximity switches, with the fully enclosed design (proximity switch and all moving parts are inside a robust casing) also increasing the safety of operating personnel.

Two models are available. DDR ø12 is for over and underspeed detection. This proximity switch delivers pulses to a specific module (ULSA) or directly to a PLC. DDR ø 30 is for underspeed detection: this switch delivers a warning when an underspeed occurs; an easy sensor adjustment is then carried out. These units are easy to install, dust proof and feature dry contact output or pulses (according to the proximity switch).
