The Step-a-Matic is a patented rotary paddle level probe using a new and unique gearless & clutchless drive system.
The Step-a-Matic uses a unique stepper motor drive instead of the usual synchronous motor. This utilises a direct drive eliminating the need for gearboxes & clutches, and makes the drive virtually indestructible, It also allows the motor to rotate in both direction, to avoid compaction of light material. The paddle also 'shakes at the end of it's rotation cycle to discard clinging material. Variable torque setting allows one paddle to suit virtually all applications, and paddles can be extended upto 2m in length. Torque & Rotation are monitored for fail-to-safe operation. |
