Belt Conveyor – Misalignment Switch HES
APPLICATION
KIEPE belt misalignment switches of type HES are designed for heavy duty application and used at fixed belt conveyors according to DIN EN 620 requirements in order to keep the risk of unintentional operation as low as possible. The lateral movement of the conveyor belt is monitored and by switching off the conveyor in the case of unacceptable belt drift, the belt monitoring prevents damage and destruction of the belt and the machine.
The Kiepe type HES misalignment switch complies with the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. It features a robust aluminum
housing and is equipped with 2 force-actuated changeover contacts with snap-action function with two adjustable switching points.
Note: The misalignment switch may only be used in control circuits.
FUNCTION
Inadmissible belt drift occurs when the belt edge approaches the end of the supporting rollers through lateral movement and surpasses it. Then the actuator (roller lever) is operated and displaced. In the case of displacement of the actuator, the cam operating switches are activated.
The switching angle can be set via an adjustable camshaft. In this way, a pre-warning can be implemented in addition to the safety shutdown. As soon as the belt moves correctly , the roller lever will automatically return to its home position.

MOUNTING
Type HES 1 misalignment switches are fastened in installation position on a substructure with 2 M8 screws each. In the case of misalignment, the belt 2 must not leave the lateral guide rollers. The position of the misalignment switches shall be chosen such that the belt 2 makes contact with the actuation roller of the misalignment switch preferably perpendicularly. The actuation roller of the misalignment switch is not touched during normal operation.
The roller lever can be replaced and can be affixed freely in the directions of rotation on the switch axis.
The electrical connection is made directly at the screw joints of the switching elements in the housing via the cable gland, included in the delivery. A second cable gland is possible when replacing the screw plug on the opposite site.
