The drksir DR-SCD-10-J guards mixers, agitators and kneaders against stall — the failure mode that overloads the gearbox and burns out the motor. It couples to the agitator shaft through the sensor screw and sends a relay stop signal the moment shaft rotation slows below the set threshold, protecting the drive train before the gearbox stalls.
The speed sensor screw is connected to the agitator shaft end. As the shaft turns, the sensor rotates with it and measures actual RPM. When the load thickens or the coupling fails and the shaft slows, the relay switches to cut power before the gearbox seizes. Selectable thresholds (40 / 50 / 60 / 70 % of normal speed) match the mixer’s running profile, and a 20-second start-up delay covers the initial spin-up.

Wiring summary: Controller terminals 1 & 2 → AC 220 V; 3 & 4 → relay output; 5 (+) / 6 (−) / 7 (signal) → speed sensor brown / blue / black wires; terminal 8 → motor contactor auxiliary contact (enable).
Sensor: brown = V+, black = signal out, blue = 0 V.
Q: How do I know whether I need a zero-speed switch or a chain-skew switch?
A: A zero-speed (under-speed) switch such as the DR-SCD-10 family watches shaft rotation and trips when the chain breaks, slips or the shaft stalls. A chain-skew switch (DR-ICD-20) detects the chain tilting or climbing toward derailment. They solve different failure modes, and on many conveyors both are fitted — the zero-speed switch catches a stopped or slowed line, while the chain-skew switch catches a misaligned one before it jumps the sprocket.
Q: How is the speed sensor mounted to the machine?
A: The speed sensor couples to the driven shaft through a threaded screw at the shaft end. As the shaft turns it drives the sensor screw directly, so the reading reflects true shaft RPM with no slip. Mounting is mechanical and takes only a few minutes at the shaft end or bearing-housing face.
Q: What power supply and output does it use?
A: The controller runs on AC 220 V, 50 Hz (≤3 W) and supplies 12 V to the speed sensor, which operates on DC 10–30 V. The output is a potential-free relay contact rated AC 220 V / 5 A (also DC 24 V / 5 A) with both NO and NC available, so it drops straight into a motor contactor coil, PLC input or alarm circuit.
Q: How do I set the trip point — and can it self-calibrate?
A: Four thresholds are selectable: 40 %, 50 %, 60 % or 70 % of the normal running speed, set by a selector switch. For fastest commissioning, hold the Set/Reset button for 3 seconds: the unit auto-detects and stores the current running speed as the threshold (calibration takes 2–300 seconds depending on speed). No laptop or meter is needed.
Q: Will it false-trip when the conveyor starts up?
A: No. A 20-second start-up delay bypass holds the output until the line reaches steady speed, and the enable terminal is wired to the motor contactor’s auxiliary contact, so the protector only arms once the drive is actually running.
Q: What machines and conveyor types can it protect?
A: Scraper and drag-flight conveyors, bucket elevators (head or foot shaft), slag and ash removal conveyors, and mixers / agitators / kneaders. In short, any shaft-driven machine where a slowdown or stop must cut the drive before secondary damage spreads.
Q: Is it suitable for dusty, wet or hot environments?
A: The speed sensor is IP65 rated and operates from −20 ℃ to 65 ℃ at up to 95 % relative humidity; the controller sits in a rugged industrial housing. It is built for the dust, splash and heat typical of power, cement, grain and wastewater plants.
Q: Do you offer customization, and what is the warranty?
A: Yes — range, output, mounting and cable can be specified for OEM/ODM runs. Send us the machine type, speed and what you need to catch, and we will recommend a configuration. Warranty: free replacement within 15 days for manufacturing defects and free maintenance within 1 year under normal operating conditions (drksir Three Guarantees Policy).
