Sapcon's Paddle switch enhances reliability

SAPCON’S SLMR series of paddle switches is designed for use in powders, granules, and other bulk materials. It is especially suitable for use in sand, grains (oats, corn, etc) and other bulk and particulate materials. It can be used in hard-to-sense liquids such as slurries and viscous media like jams and cream. Variety of paddles is available to cater the needs of different applications.

SLMR involves simple installation and need no maintenance. It has a long life. The operation is not affected by electrical properties of material and moisture content. A Compact geared synchronous motor is used that does not burn under stalled condition. Teflon sealed shaft helps avoiding deterioration of performance caused due to the ingress of dust. The Magnetic slip clutch averts snapping of gears on manual rotation of paddle in stationary condition. Sealed antifriction bearings ensure long trouble-free operation.

The geared synchronous motor drives a paddle via a magnetic slip clutch mechanism. When the service material covers the paddle, it resists its rotation, causing the reactionary torque to displace the motor assembly, tensioning a spring and operating micro-switches for signaling and de-energizing the motor. When the paddle is uncovered the restoring spring returns the motor assembly to the previous position and the motor restarts.
