【Help】How to add interlock when the belt in a belt drive system breaks?
Thread Content
There are several belt-driven devices; when the belt breaks, the drive motor continues to operate. How can belt breakage be detected and an interlock protection system be implemented?

I have a question: proximity switches operate by detecting distance to turn things on or off, so how is a pulse measured? Thank you!
Just use a pressure sensor, right?
It is mainly about detecting when the rotational motion of the driven wheel stops; what does the pressure sensor measure?
Reply to 4# lqiang1225: The driven wheel has spokes or holes, so a proximity switch can be used for detection!
Measure the belt tension! ! ! !
Use a proximity switch to detect whether the driven wheel is rotating
