Belt Rip Switch Type BRS1

Brand: Austdac

Catalog ID: SW0065M

The Austdac Belt Rip Switch Type BRS1 is a crucial safety device used in conveyor systems. Its primary function is to provide a mechanism to stop the conveyor operation when a belt becomes torn or ripped.

Positioned strategically along the conveyor, typically near transfer points and at regular intervals for longer conveyors, the rip switch can act as an early warning system.

Used to detect belt tears or foreign objects protruding through the belt, the rip switch helps minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure the smooth and safe operation of conveyor systems.
