Conveyor Sensors
RSP Supply carries a full line of Eaton conveyor sensors designed to support reliable operation and performance of conveyor systems in industrial environments. Available in diffuse reflective and polarized retroreflective configurations, these sensors play a critical role in detecting product presence, verifying alignment, and supporting smooth material flow across manufacturing, packaging, and logistics applications.
Conveyor sensors are commonly used to confirm whether products are present and correctly positioned on the conveyor belt before moving to the next stage of the process. Proper alignment detection helps prevent jams, product damage, and mechanical wear, while supporting consistent throughput and safe operation. These sensors are also used to monitor conveyor belt speed, ensuring the system operates within specified parameters and adjusts appropriately to load changes or process demands.
Eaton conveyor sensors are engineered to perform reliably in a wide range of environmental conditions, including areas with varying ambient light. Additional capabilities such as slip detection, distance measurement, and system diagnostics support proactive maintenance and operational optimization. Many models offer alarm functions and data output features that help identify performance trends, detect issues early, and reduce unplanned downtime.
