NSR22-BM-EX Belt Misalignment Switch
NSR22-BM-EX Belt Misalignment Switches are designed to alarm and/or shut down a conveyor system in the event of belt drift and misalignment in hazardous environments where explosions could occur. They are mounted on both sides of the conveyor belt, with roller arm of the switch positioned 15 cm away from the belt. As the belt starts drifting into either side, it will first contact with the switch arm. Arm will roll without distrupting the belt. If belt continues to drift further the switch arm will rotate and actuate microswitches at specified angles.
The product is suitable for reliable long term usage in most industrial applications, thanks to its heavy-duty design. Its aluminium cast enclosure is resistant to corrosion and oxidation. Shaft and arm mechanisms are made of stainless steel and all internal parts are metal cast. NSR22-BM-EX series products do not require any maintenance.
With the single contact model, the system will stop when the switch arm rotates until 25°. With two contact model, the switch arm will actuate the alarm switch at 15° angle. Corrective action can be taken before further misalignment. If the belt drifts until the switch arm rotates until 35°, the second microswitch will be actuated and the system will stop. Contact structure can be customized.
NSR22-BM-EX is Ex-Proof (ATEX certified). With its protection against dust ingress, it is reliable in explosive athmosphere. All models conform to CE (European Union) and EAC (Eurasian Customs Union) standards. Microswitches used in these products are VDE approved.
