Used Conveyor Electrical Controls

Used Conveyor Electrical Controls

Conveyor controls can help a business increase productivity while saving you time and money. It is important that you choose a conveyor control that best fits the needs of your warehouse, distribution center, or manufacturing facility. Your conveyor controls should be expandable, flexible, and capable of adapting to new requirements so that your business can continue to grow. By implementing conveyor controls, production managers will be able to make fast production changes and allow for changing production times. At American Surplus Inc we stock many various accessories for our conveyor products including, but not limited to, used photo eye sensors, used conveyor start/stop buttons, used conveyor disconnect switches, used cable emergency stops (also known as safety pull cord), used emergency stop buttons, used limit switches, used programmable logic controllers (PLC's), and used magnetic starters.

About Conveyor Electrical Controls

Photo Eye Sensors monitor and shut down sections of the conveyor when not in use. The Conveyor Start / Stop will allow you to start and stop a conveyor line to load and unload product. After a power failure, Conveyor Disconnect Switches provide for safe disconnection of the entire electrical equipment.

The Cable Emergency Stop or Safety Pull Cord is a failsafe taut wire emergency pull cord safety stop switch for open conveyors. An Emergency Stop Button allows direct disconnect of conveyor circuit contacts in emergency situations. Easy to spot, access, and use. On/Off operation, push to lock, turn to reset.

A Limit Switch is a kind of control switch used to protect overload. It will stop the flow of current if it exceeds the rated value of the switch. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) replaces the need for relays and interlocks in control systems. This allows the use of inputs and outputs controlled by a program loaded from a laptop to adjust the operation of equipment.

A Magnetic Starter is an electromagnetically operated switch that provides a safe method for starting an electric motor with a large load. Mag starters also provide under-voltage and overload protection and an automatic cutoff in the case of a power failure.

Conveyor Electrical Controls Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are conveyor electrical controls?
A: Conveyor electrical controls refer to the components, systems, and devices used to manage the operation, movement, and safety of conveyor systems.
