The
Kiepe belt misalignment switches are used in conveyor installations for
monitoring belt travel. When mounted at the running edges of a conveyor
belt, the switches will be operated if the belt deviates from its designed
running line by more than the permissible distance. The switches will
then stop the conveyor to avoid spillage of material or damage to equipment.
All switches are cam-operated and snap acting.
