Speed Wheel The speed wheel is a motion-tracking device for conveyor belts, designed to prevent nuisance trips caused by heavy loads or belt hopping. Unlike traditional sensors, it maintains constant contact with the belt, ensuring reliable rotation detection and avoiding unnecessary shutdowns. To further enhance reliability, the speed wheel can be paired with a timing control cabinet featuring a time-delay relay. This allows users to fine-tune shutdown timing to match production needs, minimizing false trips and optimizing flow. Integrated into an interlocking system, the speed wheel helps coordinate equipment in a chain reaction. If a downstream conveyor shuts down, upstream equipment automatically halts to prevent material pile-up and equipment overload—critical for safety and efficiency. Interlocking links equipment states together, ensuring that if one part of the process stops, related components do too. For example, if a crusher’s discharge conveyor stops, the crusher itself should also shut down to avoid overflow. Manufactured in Loveland, CO, the speed wheel is built from Grade A steel with a replaceable wheel, engineered for long-term performance. Whirligig This device which can be mounted magnetically and is a Universal Target / Mount Motion Sensor. Tracks the rotation and moves travel conveyors! The force of the traveling conveyor winds a mechanism inside of the Whirligig device and when it calls for travel it releases the tension held within and moves the travel conveyor to the desire position set by the operator. Very cool technology. Simple and easy to install and use.
