A conveyer belt abrasion detecting apparatus which can automatically detect a conveyer belt abrasion quantity easily and accurately during operation. A plurality of magnet sheets (M-M) magnetized in a thickness direction are arranged so that polarities on the surface are in the same direction and are embedded deeper stepwise in a longitudinal direction of a belt main body (). A magnetic sensor () for detecting changes of the magnetic forces of the magnet sheets (M-M) is arranged at a position where the magnet sheets (M-M) pass through.

Conveyor-belt wear detector

Methods and devices for measuring elongation, wear, and internal temperature of a conveyor belt to catch signs of conveyor belt failure such as breakage by detecting a magnetic field from a magnetic body by using a magnesium sensor, as well as a rubber magnet sheet as a magnetic body and a method of producing the sheet, the rubber magnet sheet being able to be used while it is embedded in the conveyor belt. To measure elongation of a running conveyor belt (), a magnetic field of a magnetic body () embedded in the belt () is detected by a magnetism sensor () fixed to the earth, and elongation of the belt () is calculated from temporal variation of the detected magnetic field.
