Photoelectric Sensor Position Sensor for Lift Motor – Hoops 2 Basketball Arcade Machine

This photoelectric sensor with connection cable and plug is a spare part for the lift mechanism of the Hoops 2 basketball arcade machine. The sensor belongs to the area of the geared motor or lift motor and is used to detect the position or movement of the mechanism.

The photoelectric sensor provides feedback to the control system on whether the lift or locking mechanism has reached the intended position. This makes it an important component for reliable gameplay, especially for ball release, locking functions, or other moving mechanical parts.

Product Features

• Photoelectric sensor / position sensor for basketball arcade machines

• Suitable for Hoops 2 arcade basketball machines

• Part of the lift mechanism or geared lift motor

• With connection cable and plug connector

• Sensor with mounting tabs for installation in the machine

• Detects positions and movements of the mechanism

• Spare part for repair, maintenance and service

• Ideal for faults involving ball release or lift mechanism

Typical Fault Symptoms

• Lift motor does not move correctly to the end position

• Mechanism does not move fully up or down

• Ball release only works intermittently

• Machine does not detect the position of the lock

• Motor keeps running or stops too early

• Game sequence does not start reliably

• Fault occurs only sporadically

Application

The photoelectric sensor is used together with the lift motor or the motor-driven locking mechanism. It monitors the movement of the mechanism and ensures that the electronics correctly detect the current status. If the sensor is dirty, misaligned or defective, the machine may no longer evaluate the movement sequence correctly.

Note

Before replacing the sensor, please also check the mechanical movement of the lift mechanism as well as the cable, plug and mounting position of the sensor. Similar faults may also be caused by a weak motor, a blocked gearbox, dirty sensor surfaces or an incorrectly adjusted photoelectric sensor.

Before ordering, please compare the design, cable length, plug, mounting tabs and installation position with the existing sensor in the machine.
