Zero Speed Switch Selection Guide
Phares Zero Speed Switches are easy to use, maintenance free devices. Our Zero Speed Switches utilize proactive sensing to catch potential issues before they become a problem. Proactive sensing, in many cases, provides a soft landing instead of a hard crash. This prevents broken belts, gears, chains, sprockets, shear pin, and stressed, overheated electric motors. Typical applications include belt conveyors, drag conveyors, bucket elevators, fans, blowers, rock crushers, and pumps.
