SensSlip - The World's Number 1 V Belt Monitoring System

SensSlip is the ultimate, cost-effective monitoring system for alerting you to V Belt Slip in friction drives. The SensSlip V-Belt monitoring system enables the elimination of plant downtime, energy wastage and CO2 emissions

Benefits of using the SensSlip V-Belt Monitoring System:

•  Massive savings on energy costs

•  Eliminate unnecessary belt changes

•  Accurate measurement of slip

•  Low cost sensor

•  Standard Microsoft software

•  Eliminate down time caused by v-belt breakage

•  No expensive, conventional condition monitoring

•  No unnecessary guard removal for inspection

Installing a V-Belt Monitoring System

Non-invasive sensors are attached to the rotating pulleys on a belt driven system, which monitor and determine the transmission system’s running state.

Information relating to necessary working slip and energy wasting fault slip can be relayed directly from SensSlip’s monitoring module into a site asset management systems to provide live information about the monitored belts.

Problems associated with unmonitored V Belt Slippage:

• Belt Slip increases energy wastage – A 5Kw motor running at 80% efficiency due to belt slippage will waste £ 700 in lost energy in a year.

• Belt Slip leads to belts breaking in service – resulting in expensive downtime and lost productivity.

Benefits of a SensSlip V Belt Monitoring System over Tachometers & Stroboscopes

Generally, the power developed by a standard electric motor is transferred to a load, for example, a fan, by connecting the motor to the fan by a V belt, similar to the fan belt arrangement in a car engine. In most cases the efficiency of a newly installed V belt when driving a load arrangement is 98%, which logically indicates that 2% of power transfer i.e., raw energy is wasted, (when the drive motor is running on full load). This is generally due to heat caused by friction in the belt pulley arrangement and bearings of the drive and load. Over time, as the belt, pulleys or bearings wear, the power transfer can reduce considerably with, obviously, an associated increase in energy losses and eventual malfunction of the transmission system.
