Milltronics MD-256 is a high resolution shaft-driven speed sensor.
Milltronics MD-256 speed sensor operates in conjunction with a conveyor belt scale, providing a signal to an integrator which computes the rate of material being conveyed. At only 1.22 kg (2.68 lbs), it is one of the lightest and most durable units ever developed for monitoring conveyor belt speed. With its rugged cast aluminium housing, it is suitable for outdoor installation, and its low weight prolongs bearing life.
It is directly coupled to a rotating tail or bend pulley shaft to ensure accurate belt-travel readout, eliminating problems caused by belt slippage or material build-up. The MD-256 converts shaft rotation into a pulse train of 256 pulses per revolution using a high precision rotary optical encoder. The digital signal is transmitted as speed input to any Milltronics integrator for calculation of belt speed, flow rate and totalized weight.
This high resolution speed sensor provides a frequency signal proportional to the shaft speed, enabling low or varying shaft speeds to be read accurately. The quadrature type shaft encoder prevents erroneous speed signals due to vibration or shaft oscillation. The MD-256 is easily mounted and is bi-directional for either clockwise or anti-clockwise belt travel.
