CombiCODER: acquisition of vibrations and temperatures
Exhibitor
Lenord, Bauer & Co. GmbH
If the installation space on the undercarriage is limited, our CombiCODER combines several sensor types in a single housing. For example, they simultaneously measure rotational speed, temperature and vibrations. Alternatively, we combine different sensors individually according to your specifications and adapt the design if necessary. Your advantage: Instead of mounting three to four sensors, you only have to mount and test one sensor. This reduces the effort required for assembly and preventive maintenance significantly.
Upon request, we manufacture special flanges or connect, for example, the temperature sensor to a speed sensor using a cable harness. This greatly simplifies cabling.
Temperature acquisition
The temperature of motors and bearings can indicate inefficient or even critical conditions. Our compact platinum resistance thermometers record any changes and warn of any unwanted heat build-up on the undercarriage. The compact temperature sensors according to DIN EN 60751 are available with stainless steel tubes and brass flanges. For optimal measurement, we adapt the length of the measuring tube to your application.
Vibration and shock acquisition
Mechanical influences such as flat spots in the wheel rim or imperfections in the rail place the undercarriage under stress. To detect these stresses at an early stage, we use MEMS devices, among other devices. Their measured values provide information about shocks and vibrations suffered.
