Schneider Inductive proximity sensors

Osiprox® Application

Sensors for rotation monitoring, slip detection, shaft overload detection

Cylindrical type

Functions

These self-contained rotation speed monitoring sensors have the special feature of incorporating, in the same case, the pulse sensing and processing electronics as well as the output switching amplifier that are required to establish an integrated rotation monitoring device.

The unit provides an economical solution for detecting slip, belt breakage, drive shaft shear and overloading, etc., in the following applications: conveyor belts, bucket elevators, Archemedian screws, grinders, crushers, pumps, centrifugal driers, mixers, etc.

Operating principle

The output signal of this type of sensor is processed by an impulse comparator incorporated in the sensor. The impulse frequency Fc generated by the moving part to be monitored is compared to the frequency Fr preset on the sensor. The output switching circuit of the sensor is in the closed state for Fc > Fr and the open state for Fc < Fr.

Sensors XSA-V are particularly suitable for the detection of underspeed: when the speed of the moving part Fc falls below a preset threshold Fr, this causes the output circuit of the sensor to switch off. 

Note: following power-up, the operational status of the sensor is subject to a delay of 9 seconds in order for the moving part being monitored to run-up to its nominal speed. During this time, the output of the sensor remains in the closed state.
