CCC Model VA Explosion-Proof Bucket Elevator Alignment Control

Overview

The VA Belt Alignment Control protects your vertical conveyor belts from severe damage. Designed for use on bucket elevators, the Model VA ensures that your belt is tracking properly to protect elevator legs from the damage that results from misalignment of vertical conveyor belts. When used in pairs, these VA Controls can be wired to give signals such as turning on a warning device and/or can be connected directly into the starter motor circuit to stop the belt. The roller on VA Alignment Control detects any belt run-off and will trigger the first pole of the microswitch to sound a warning alarm, illuminate an indicator light, or stop the conveyor completely when the vertical belt strays beyond 15° from horizontal. The second pole is triggered when the belt strays 25° from horizontal and can be wired to stop the conveyor motor. NEED TO KNOW The Model VA Alignment Control should be installed in pairs on each side of the conveyor belt near the head pulley and/or tail pulley. The VA Control consists of a conveyor roller with sealed bearings, four bar linkage and a double pole/double throw microswitch. The Model VA Controls should be mounted in a location that allows them to be directly across from each other to give the most accurate alignment reading. To eliminate false signals, the Controls should be mounted about one inch away from the belt.
