Models BA100-2 & BA100-2X Conveyor Belt Alignment Switches protect conveyor belts from damage due to belt misalignment or runoff. These controls are used in pairs with one switch placed on each side of the conveyor belt. Each unit can be equipped with two limit switches to produce signals indicating belt misalignment at two deviation points. The first signal point could indicate small belt deviation by sounding an alarm. The second signal point could guard against extreme belt runoff by shutting down the conveyor. Each control consists of an aluminum housing with a red epoxy coated roller. The roller is adjustable up to 90 degrees in both directions and is positioned approximately 1" from the conveyor belt. The switch actuation points are adjustable from 0 degrees to 45 degrees by a simple change of the actuating cam(s). The BA100-2 is furnished with a heavy-duty cast aluminum housing. The BA100-2X is furnished with a heavy-duty cast aluminum explosionproof housing. Cast iron and epoxy-coated housings are also available.
