Kiepe products are made for heavy-duty safety and monitoring applications, such as mining, storage and handling of ore and coal, bulk material seaports, power plants, steelmaking and cement production.

Kiepe Elektrik is a brand of Vossloh Kiepe.

Pull-rope emergency stop switch Type HEN. The aluminum moulded housing offers space for up to three NO and three NC contacts.

Misalignment switch Type HES: prewarning and stop function can be realised with two adjustable switching points.

Robust Limit Switch Type HER. The lever can be mounted on the stainless steel axis in any position to 360°.

Group of speed monitoring devices. The speed monitor SWE-compact combines the opto-electronic pulse transducer and speed analysing relay in one unit.

Belt wear monitor Type BLS. Using the belt wear monitor Type BLS is an easy and robust way to detect protruding parts of a belt.

We specialise in:
