Belt Scale Speed Sensor

CONVEYOR BELT SPEED SENSORS

BAMAU VS96 – HEAVY-DUTY BELT WEIGHER SPEED SENSOR

The BAMAU VS96 is a heavy-duty conveyor belt speed sensor designed specifically for belt weighers, weightometers and conveyor belt scales.

Built in Western Australia for mining environments, the VS96 provides reliable and repeatable belt speed measurement without relying on a tail pulley or drive-shaft speed signal.

Key features include:

• Stainless-steel construction

• Heavy-duty bearings

• Standard grease lines

• Up to four independent speed outputs

• Dedicated underspeed output available

• High-resolution pulse output

• Polyurethane or stainless-steel measuring wheels

• Trailing-arm or under-belt configuration

• Counterweighted design with no springs required

• Suitable for new installations and replacement of existing speed sensors

UNDER-BELT SPEED MEASUREMENT

The VS96 can be configured to run directly against the underside of the conveyor belt, helping protect the measuring wheel from material carryback and reducing exposure to damage.

Rather than using springs to maintain belt contact, the VS96 can use a counterweighted arm to provide consistent measuring-wheel pressure while allowing the sensor to follow normal belt movement.

ONE SENSOR. MULTIPLE SIGNALS.

A single VS96 can provide multiple independent speed signals, allowing one sensor to supply the belt weigher controller while also providing additional outputs for PLC speed monitoring, conveyor control and underspeed protection.

This can eliminate the need for multiple speed sensors installed around the same conveyor.

BUILT FOR BELT WEIGHERS

Accurate belt speed measurement is fundamental to belt weigher performance. Speed instability, wheel slip, incorrect pulse scaling or poorly installed speed sensors can directly affect calculated tonnes per hour and totalised tonnage.

BAMAU supplies the VS96 for new belt weighing systems and as a heavy-duty replacement for existing Schenck, Ramsey, CST, Siemens, Web-Tech and other conveyor belt scale speed sensors.

Designed and manufactured in Western Australia for Australian mining conditions.
