    by Editorial Staff

    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 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.

    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)
