Appleton AFSX Speed Responsive Switch

What is the Appleton AFSX Speed Responsive Switch?

Appleton AFSX Speed Responsive Switch is used in bulk material handling/processing systems to monitor speeds of belt conveyors, screw conveyors, bucket elevators, and rotating machinery and where alarm or computer interface capabilities are needed. They protect elevators, feeders, and conveyors from speed related damage resulting from broken belts, overloads or belt slippage. The AFSX can be installed where rugged control enclosures are needed for protection from falling ores, other heavy aggregates and from dripping water or hosedowns. These versatile switches are ideal for use in multiple applications. They can monitor material flow by sequencing the operation of multiple conveyors feeding a common bin or conveyor. The pickup speed can be set above normal operating speeds so the output relay will energize if operating speed exceeds the set point allowing them to detect motor overrun conditions. The pickup speed setting can be set to below normal operating speeds so the output relay will de-energize if operating speed falls below the set point allowing them to detect slipping belts, jammed conveyors or equipment, and stalled motors. When the speed approaches zero (0.1 RPM), the output relay will de-energize.
