Rice Lake SPU2160 Speed Pickup – Conveyor Belt Speed Sensor

The Rice Lake SPU2160 Speed Pickup is a rugged, mechanically coupled speed sensor designed for dynamic belt weighing systems and bulk material handling applications. Directly coupled to a conveyor tail pulley or non-driven pulley, the SPU2160 continuously monitors belt speed and generates an output signal proportional to shaft rotation for accurate belt scale operation. Built for harsh industrial environments, the SPU2160 features a durable aluminum IP65-rated enclosure, stainless steel shaft, and reliable signal generation without requiring wheels to ride on the conveyor belt. The sensor is available in both generator-style and encoder-style configurations to meet various belt scale and process control requirements. Key Features Designed for conveyor belt scale speed measurement Direct coupling to conveyor tail pulley No wheel contact with the conveyor belt Rugged aluminum IP65 enclosure Stainless steel shaft construction Reliable speed monitoring for dynamic weighing systems Generator and encoder versions available Suitable for industrial bulk material handling applications One-year limited warranty Specifications Specification Details Brand Rice Lake Model SPU2160 Product Type Speed Pickup / Belt Speed Sensor Enclosure Aluminum, IP65 Shaft Material Stainless Steel Minimum Speed 20 RPM Maximum Speed 1,500 RPM Operating Temperature -25°C to 65°C Connection Terminal Block (3 x 1.5 mm²) Cable Entry 1 x NPT 13 mm Warranty One-Year Limited Warranty Available Models Part Number Model Description 125334 SPU2160N-0050 Generator Style, 50 Pulses Per Revolution (PPR) 163319 SPU2160EN-0600 Encoder Style, 600 Pulses Per Revolution (PPR) Applications Conveyor belt scales Mining operations Aggregate processing Quarry operations Bulk material handling Process control systems Continuous weighing applications Industrial conveying systems
