Speed Activated Relay
The Polyspede Speed Activated Relay (SAR) is an adjustable,
voltage-sensitive relay. When provided with an input signal
from a tachometer generator or motor control, the SAR can be
adjusted to activate or release at a predetermined signal voltage
level.
The board-mounted or optional external SET potentiometer is
used to calibrate the voltage level at which the relay is activated.
The board-mounted differential
potentiometer adjusts the difference between the pickup and
dropout voltages.
The SAR can be used to activate
an electrical device such as a motor, solenoid, clutch or
brake, based on the line speed of a system.
It can also serve as safety device
to sound an alarm, shut down a machine or interlock electrical
functions.
Listed below is related application
and ordering information for Polyspede's Speed Activated Relay.
Holding Brake
The brake is used to lock
the shaft when the motor is not being driven. The SAR monitors
the armature voltage to the motor. When the voltage rises
from zero to a preset low level, the SAR releases the brake
and the motor ramps up to speed. When armature voltage is
reduced to near zero, the SAR sets the brake to hold the motor.
