FineTek SRT Conveyor Belt Misalignment Switch
A belt that runs off-track damages its own edge, the structure and the material it carries. The FineTek SRT belt misalignment switch catches that drift early and raises an alarm or stops the conveyor.
How It Works
SRT switches mount at the belt edges with an actuating arm beside the belt. If the belt wanders far enough to push the arm over, the switch operates and signals the control system to alarm or stop the conveyor before the belt is damaged.
