Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds CHW93053 Conveyor Belt Alignment Switch provides reliable belt alignment monitoring for hazardous-location conveyors. When belts drift, production slows and wear accelerates; this switch offers a clear, proven signal path with one normally open and one normally closed contact for simple integration. It’s built to IEC standards and carries IECEx/ATEX hazardous ratings for Zone 21 and Zone 22, plus defined area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations. By combining rugged construction with straightforward wiring, it supports rapid deployment across global sites while meeting strict safety requirements. For engineering teams, this translates to reduced downtime, improved belt life, and a smoother path to compliant, scalable automation in harsh environments.
