Belt Misalignment
BA100-1 Conveyor Belt Alignment Switch
Model BA100-1 Conveyor Belt Alignment Switch protects conveyor belts from damage due to belt misalignment or runoff. These controls are used in pairs with one switch placed on each side of the conveyor belt. Each unit can be equipped with two limit switches to produce signals indicating belt misalignment at two deviation points. The first signal point could indicate small belt deviation by sounding an alarm. The second signal point could guard against extreme belt runoff by shutting down the conveyor. Each control consists of an aluminum housing with a red epoxy coated roller. The roller is adjustable up to 90° in both directions and is positioned approximately 1″ from the conveyor belt. The switch actuation points are adjustable from 0° to 45° by a simple change of the actuating cam(s). The model BA100 can be furnished with general purpose or explosionproof construction. Cast iron and epoxy-coated housings are also available.
