The SICK SAM Series Proximity Sensor offers simple and intelligent speed monitoring with an additional IO-Link interface. This product family can be used as a classic speed monitor, or acceleration monitor with a  speed-independent monitoring function. The SAM Series checks if an adjustable speed or acceleration threshold is crossed and provides a switching signal. These sensors offer highly accurate monitoring of slack, belt breakage, overload, and component breakage across various industries thanks to its fast response time, monitored range of up to 12,000 pulses per minute, and intelligent start-up delay.
