Speed Monitor

Proxitron speed monitors for monitoring and detecting rotating parts.

 



Proxitron speed monitors are inductive sensors for precise and reliable monitoring of motors, drives and conveyor systems. They detect rotating or axially moving metal objects using pulses that are evaluated in the integrated electronics. This allows standstill, slippage, overload or belt breakage to be detected just as reliably as exceeding or falling below the specified speed.

Two operating modes are available for different applications: simple limit value monitoring and control of a defined setpoint range. The setpoint can be conveniently adjusted via Teach-In, and an adjustable start-up delay provides additional flexibility during the start-up process.

The speed monitors are available in several versions – either for DC operating voltage with PNP output or for AC/DC 2-wire operation, each for flush or non-flush mounting.

The robust, fully encapsulated plastic housing is corrosion-free and low-maintenance. Proxitron speed monitors thus ensure maximum operational reliability with minimum investment and maintenance costs.

Interesting facts about speed monitors

What is a speed monitor used for?

A speed monitor is used to monitor rotating machines and systems. It detects standstill, slip or overspeed, thereby protecting processes, machines and personnel.

 

Why is a speed monitor important?

  • Process reliability: Early detection of standstill, slip or overspeed.
  • System protection: Prevention of damage caused by blocked or overloaded drives.
  • Work safety: Reduction of risks for operating personnel.
  • Operating efficiency: Stable and controlled production processes.

Can a speed monitor detect standstill?

Yes. Stoppage detection is one of the most important functions. If no pulse is registered within a defined period of time, the speed monitor emits an error signal.

 

Where are speed monitors typically installed?

  • Conveyor belt systems
  • Quarries and bulk material technology
  • Recycling plants
  • Mills, mixers, centrifuges
  • Blowers and pumps
  • Motor and gear technology
