Belt Sway Switch Working Principle

The belt sway switch allows smooth running of the conveyor and protects it from damages by over swaying which can occur due to uneven loading of material, worn out idler roller bearings etc.

Belt sway switch is also known as Run Off Switch.

Belt Sway Switch Principle

Belt Sway Switch has two-step switching points: one step is for Alarm (belt running but need check), other step is for Fault (Belt stop).

When belt is running, it may sways and touches the roller lever. If roller lever is pushed by swaying belt and reach the angle of 20°, first step switch of Alarm will be active; if reach angle of 35°, second step switch of Fault will be active. When the belt runs correctly once more, the misalignment switch will reset automatically. Max. roller lever can be pushed to 75° angle.

After the fault clearing, the belt departs from the vertical roll and operate normally, the roll may reset automatically.

The Belt Sway Switch of is constructed with high reliability microswitches, lubricateless ball bearings, a touch roller which is titled to 75 , and other parts; its functions are designed with a large margin for sure action and long life

Application

The Belt Sway Switch functions in detecting any deviation or sway in the conveyor belt and providing an auto-alarm and sending out signal to stop the conveyor to avoid the damage to the conveyor belt and prevent scatter of conveyed materials because of the belt distortion.

The Belt Sway Switch is necessary in the safe conveying system, widely used in the belt deviation detection of the belt conveyor for coal, cement and building materials, mining, electricity, port, metallurgy and chemical industries.

Installation

Prevention with slant on both sides of the switch should be installed on the conveyor maintenance channel, installation position should ensure that maintenance personnel in the event of an emergency operation is convenient

Switch is located in the conveyor belt on both sides, vertical roll with conveyor belt edge perpendicular to the plane, and on both sides of the conveyor belt is located at 1/3 height of vertical roll.

Switch and vertical roll conveyor belt normal position of the appropriate spacing is 50 ~ 100 mm.

Switch quantity should be according to the length of the conveyor, types and arrangement for sure. Should be in commonly conveyor head, tail, convex segmental arc, concave segment and location in the middle of the conveyor is set. (Note: when the conveyor is longer, the position in the middle of the conveyor can every 30~35 m set to 1)

The partial switch should through the mounting bracket and conveyor frame connection; switch bracket shall be installed on the conveyor and conveyor frame welding, after the completion of switch and switch bracket bolted

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...

What is a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...

Dissolved Oxygen Analyzer Working Principle

What is dissolved oxygen ? Dissolved oxygen refers to oxygen dissolved in water. Its concentration is expressed as the amount of oxygen per unit volume and the unit is mg/L. Biologically, oxygen is an essential element for respiration of underwater life and also acts as a chemical oxidizer. The solubility of oxygen in water is affected by water temperature, salinity, barometric pressure, etc. and decreases as water temperature rises. Measurement of dissolved oxygen by the membrane electrode method The membrane electrode method measures a diffusion current or reduction current generated by the concentration of dissolved oxygen or partial pressure of oxygen to obtain the concentration of dissolved oxygen. This method is not affected by the pH value of water being measured, oxidation and reduction substances, color, turbidity, etc. and the measurement method offers good reproducibility. When a sensor is inserted into water, an air layer forms on the membrane (Teflon membrane). The ox...
