1.0 Introduction
The speed sensor monitors the belt speed. It is directly coupled to a rotating shaft (i.e. the bend pulley as shown in Table 2-1 on
page 4) which drives a signal generator. The speed sensor submits an output signal at a frequency directly proportional to the
shaft speed.
It is typically installed on a non-driven pulley of a belt conveyor for detecting belt speed.
