Siemens Sitrans WS300 shaft-driven speed sensor

The Sitrans WS300 is a shaft-driven speed sensor with four resolutions (32, 256, 1000 and 2000 pulses per revolution) so that it can be used to accurately monitor speed in both low- and high-speed applications.

The sensor weighs 1.22 kg, and its low weight prolongs bearing life, reducing the overall cost of ownership. With its rugged, cast aluminium housing, the sensor is suitable for heavy industries as well as for outdoor installation. Sitrans WS300 is also available in stainless steel for food processing applications. With hazardous dust approvals, IP65 and NEMA 4X, the sensor is suited to virtually any industry - from mineral processing and cement industry up to food and chemical applications.

Sitrans WS300 can be directly coupled to a rotating tail or bend pulley shaft ensuring accurate belt-travel readout, eliminating problems caused by belt slippage or material build-up. The sensor monitors belt speed and can be used as an input to an integrator, which calculates flow rate, totalised weight, belt loading and belt speed. The Sitrans WS300 can be combined with a Milltronics BW100 or BW500 integrator or Siwarex FTC PLC module, and a Milltronics belt scale for a complete weighing system.
