Kaidi KD Speed Switch IP67

A Shaft Speed Switch is a device that monitors rotating shafts that are critical to the proper operation of many types of machinery. It can be used to alarm an operator of any undesirable or critical speed condition of the monitored shaft such as rotating too fast, too slowly, or a combination of these.The speed switch is installed at the driven roller of the conveying equipment to detect the running speed of the equipment.When the operating speed of the equipment changes, the speed of the driven drum also changes accordingly.When the speed of the driven drum reaches 70% of the rated speed (set action speed), it outputs a stop signal.

How do speed switches work? Speed switches contain a non-contact inductive sensor probe positioned near the rotating object. Small metal flags or magnets are mounted on a disc or pulser wrap, which generate pulses as they pass through the probe's electromagnetic field. As a professional custom switch manufacturer, Kaidi Sensors' speed switch sensors are available for detecting magnets, gears, and other steel targets & built to fit your application's requirements.

What is the function of the speed switch?

The speed switch serves a critical function in various machinery and automotive applications, acting as a crucial component that regulates the operational velocity of an engine or motor. By monitoring the rotational speed of a shaft or wheel, the speed switch enables precise control over performance parameters, ensuring that equipment operates within designated thresholds to prevent damage from excessive speeds. In industrial settings, this device often integrates with automated systems to trigger alerts or safety mechanisms when predefined limits are exceeded, thus safeguarding both personnel and machinery. Furthermore, in automotive contexts, the speed switch plays an essential role in facilitating smooth gear transitions and optimizing fuel efficiency by communicating real-time data to onboard computer systems. Its ability to respond instantaneously not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes significantly to overall system reliability and safety standards across diverse industries.
