Electronic overspeed switches from Barlow Technology
Barlow is promoting its highly accurate electronic overspeed switches to replace historic, inaccurate mechanical overspeed switches, through longstanding partner Johannes Hbner Giessen.
Offering a variety of design options to suit different applications, the German-manufactured EGS series of electronic overspeed switches are suitable for heavy-duty industry, where high levels of precision and reliability are required.
Conditions within heavy industry demand components which are durable, reliable, accurate and safe. Experience now indicates that mechanical overspeed switches do not necessarily fulfil the desired criteria, and furthermore demonstrate a low resistance to shock and vibration, limiting accuracy and requiring the addition of speed step-up gearing at low switching speeds.
Electronic overspeed switches are engineered to the highest levels of precision, allowing both overspeed and underspeed to be accurately monitored across the complete speed range, offering improved levels of reliability and safety. The additional flexibility of a variety of series and design options within this adaptable range, results in a product, which can be used across a variety of different applications. The electronic overspeed switches are also available as safety certified switches according IEC 61058 (SIL) and EN ISO 13849-1 (PL).
