Motion Sensors

Siemens devices for process protection form a reliable early warning system. Their robust construction means they are insensitive to dust, dirt, deposits and humidity. Our non-contacting acoustic sensors measure inaudible high-frequency noise emissions, while our non-contacting speed sensors record changes in drive and speed in your piston, turning and conveyor systems

All of the MFA 4p motion sensing probes as well as the Millpulse 600 can be mounted up to 100 mm (4”) from the ferrous target, reducing the chance of damage to the probe and the equipment. The probes are not affected by moisture or dust build-up.


The MFA 4p detects changes in the motion and speed of rotating,
reciprocating or conveying equipment. It warns of equipment
malfunction and signals through contacts to shut down machinery
in case of a slowdown or failure. Its reliability makes it a
cost-effective way to protect valuable process equipment.
The single setpoint system suits most industrial applications.
This versatile unit can be used on tail pulley shafts, driven pulleys,
motor shaft sensing, belt or drag conveyors, screw conveyor
flights, bucket elevators, fans and pumps.
A special feature is the adjustable 0 to 60 second time delay,
allowing the monitored device to accelerate to normal running
speed before monitoring begins. A wide range of probes are
available to suit specific needs, including high temperatures and
corrosive installations. The CE approval allows the MFA 4p to
consistently meet the needs of the mining aggregate, cement
and other primary and secondary industries.
• Key Applications: tail pulleys, motor shaft sensing, screw
conveyor flights, bucket elevators

The MSP-7 motion sensing probe can detect changes in the
rotation and movement of ferrous equipment. When connected
to a PLC it can warn of malfunction and signals to stop or slow
down equipment, preventing costly failure or downtime. Its reliability
makes it a very cost effective sensor.
The single setpoint system suits most industrial applications.
This versatile unit can be used on tail pulley shafts, driven pulleys,
motor shaft sensing, belt or drag conveyors,
screw conveyor flights, bucket elevators, fans and pumps.
An NPN open collector 3-wire output allows for versatile connection
to most PLC models and a large dynamic range ensures that
the MSP-7 can detect changes in target speed for a variety of
applications.
• Key Applications: tail pulleys, motor shaft sensing,
screw conveyor flights, bucket elevators
