GENERAL
The MD-series speed sensor is used to monitor the speed of a belt conveyor. The sensor, coupled to the
motor or pulley shaft, converts the rotation of its input shaft into an encoded speed signal. The speed
signal is transmitted to the integrating electronics for use in computing the rate of material flow.
CIRCUIT OPERATION ( Refer to FIG. 5 )
The speed sensor is made up of a main shaft rotating in a bearing assembly fixed to the enclosure. The
shaft turns a toothed disk, which is divided into 36 teeth each separated by a gap equal to the tooth width.
The encoder card is mounted such that the two optocouplers straddle the disk’s teeth.
Power from the integrating device is used to energize the two optocoupler LED’s and to feed the 5V dc
regulator. The 5V dc bus powers the logic circuitry and the output driver transistors.
As the shaft is rotating, the 36 toothed wheel modulates the light crossing within each optocoupler(OC1
and OC2). The resulting outputs are two 50% duty cycle square waves that are phase shifted by 90
degrees electrical or 1/4 cycle (one cycle of 360 degrees electrical corresponds to the width of one tooth
and one gap). This configuration provides directional discrimination.

PL-342 1
The optocouplers’ square wave outputs are converted into CW and CCW square wave output signals by
the intermediate logic. When the shaft rotates in a CW direction, the logic produces pulses at the CW
output (1RC 2) and the CCW output is disabled. When the shaft rotates in a CCW direction, the logic
produces pulses at the CCW output (1RC 4) and the CW output is disabled.
The logic diagrams detail the operation of the electronics for both the clockwise and counterclockwise
output generation.
The speed sensor is immune to external vibration that would cause the toothed wheel to oscillate 1/4
cycle (1/2 tooth width or 5° of shaft rotation) or less.
MOUNTING
The MD-36 speed sensor can be coupled to a tail pulley, bend pulley or motor shaft. In the general
(floating) mounting arrangement, the input shaft and bearing assembly bear the weight of the speed
sensor. The unit’s arresting bracket stops the speed sensor from rotating with the shaft.
When mounting the speed sensor, ensure that the shaft alignment is true to avoid stresses on the
shaft bearing.
Mounting Reference Drawings:

For preferred mounting locations, refer to the associated belt scale or weigh feeder instruction manual.
INTERCONNECTION
ALL WIRING MUST BE DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH APPROVED
CONDUIT, BOXES AND FITTINGS AND TO PROCEDURES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL GOVERNING REGULATIONS.
Interconnection between the speed sensor and the integrator should be made with 3 wire shielded, 18
AWG cable (Belden 8770 or equivalent).
Ground the shield at the integrator ONLY!
FLEXIBLE CONDUIT IS RECOMMENDED SO EXCESS STRESS
IS NOT APPLIED TO THE SHAFT BEARINGS.

SPEED SENSOR INTERCONNECTION
Terminal positions in brackets denote that only one signal may be connected at one time. To determine
direction of rotation refer to Figure 3
‘ N/C ’ denotes ‘ no connection ’
MAINTENANCE
The speed sensor electronics normally requires no maintenance, however a program of periodic checks
would be beneficial. The enclosure and circuit board should be cleaned if necessary, but only when the
power is disconnected using a vacuum cleaner and a clean dry paint brush. Check all electrical contacts
for corrosion and arcing.
The speed sensor bearing should be periodically checked for corrosion, wear and seizing. The bearing‘s
life is dependent upon the mounting, the severity of the application and surrounding environment.

NOTE :
1. Machining on tail/bend pulley shaft per Detail ’A’ (by customer) to accommodate Milltronics speed sensor when
tail or bend pulley is not supplied by Milltronics.
2. Arresting bracket is an anti-rotation device only and must not secure or support the speed sensor. Bearing life would
be greatly reduced if speed sensor is not free to "float". Use anti-rotation spring to preventmechanical oscillation of
speed sensor.
3. Grease mating surfaces to prevent seizing.
