Description SITRANS WS300 speed sensor overview SITRANS WS300 speed sensor is a low- to high-resolution shaft driven speed sensor. It measures the shaft’s rotation by sending pulses to the integrator. The WS300 is certified for use in hazardous and non-hazardous locations.
Installation shall be performed only by qualified personnel in accordance with local governing regulations. Dimension drawings Dimensions in mm (inch) ① Shaft ø: 15.9 mm (5/8 inch) ② Rod ø: 8.0 mm (5/16 inch) ③ ½" NPT conduit entrance (optional M20 adapter available) SITRANS WS300 Operating Instructions, 04/2021, A5E45050935-AC...
For preferred mounting locations, refer to the associated belt scale or weigh feeder instruction manual. For shafts that do not have enough material protruding to use a set screw, or that cannot be removed for modification, a threaded shaft coupling can be used.
