SITRANS WS100 Speed Sensor

SITRANS WS100 speed sensor is a compact, medium-resolution pulley shaft-driven belt speed
sensor with magnetic mounting. It is ideal for aggregate and mineral processing industries.
This small, light-weight speed sensor features:
● Good resolution for accurate measurement, suitable for varying shaft speeds
● Long bearing life
Eight pulses are generated for each rotation of the SITRANS WS100 shaft. These pulses are
typically fed into a Milltronics belt scale integrator. The integrator interprets the pulses and uses
them in the calculation of belt speed, flow rate, and material totalization.
