4B Brass Rub Blocks

Brass rub blocks monitor for belt misalignment problems on bucket elevators and conveyors by detecting heat generated by the friction of the misaligning belt rubbing against the brass. A temperature sensor within the brass block provides the temperature reading and the system generates an alarm and a shutdown when a trip point is reached.

Choosing the right belt alignment sensor: rub block vs.

The rub block consists of soft brass with an embedded temperature sensor. The sensor alarms when the brass heats to the trip temperature. Three main drawbacks exist for this sensor. First, by the time the brass heats, the belt has already been misaligning for a period of time. Second, the belt could periodically rub against the brass and move ...
