Product Description

The Siemens SITRANS WS300 Speed Sensor is a shaft-driven industrial speed measurement device designed for conveyor belt scale systems.

It is directly mounted on a tail pulley or drive shaft and generates pulse signals proportional to belt speed. These signals are transmitted to an integrator (such as Siemens BW series or SIWAREX systems) to calculate flow rate and totalized material weight.

The WS300 ensures stable and accurate belt speed detection even in harsh mining, cement, and bulk material handling environments. Its lightweight and rugged aluminum housing improves installation reliability and reduces mechanical wear on rotating equipment.
