A ball switch serves as a belt tensioner system, primarily responsible for monitoring and controlling the tension of the belt. Its primary function involves sensing the tension or position of the belt and providing feedback to the control system. With its electrical switching mechanism, the ball switch triggers a change in its state based on the position of the ball, which is affected by the belt tension. This feedback enables the control system to make necessary adjustments to maintain optimal belt tension, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the belt-driven system. By actively monitoring and controlling the belt tension, the ball switch enhances safety, protects the belt and associated components, optimizes performance, and contributes to the longevity of the system.
Attributes:
It provides accurate and precise measurements of the belt tension
It ensures optimal performance and longevity of the belt and related components.
Designed to be robust and durable, capable of withstanding the harsh conditions
Applications:
A ball switch help maintain the desired belt tension, ensuring a comfortable and safe workout experience. It is mainly used in Cat® 301.6C, 301.8C and 302.5C Excavators, 35, 45 and 55 Track Type Tractors.
