The Tailor-made Measuring Shaft

There is rarely much room spare in modern machines, due to designs that optimise the use of space. Thus the traditional method of attaching instrumentation to the machine elements is not always possible. MANNER Sensortelemetrie offers high-precision measuring technology for such applications. The flexible circuit board and the rotor antenna unit, with a height of only 3 mm, can be virtually wrapped around the shaft. The measuring technology is also well-protected below an oil-proof and waterproof encapsulation. Regardless of whether shafts or flanges, sleeves or shaft couplings, every component can become an intelligent measurement object. This way, the original parts are used and no effort is required to design special sensors. The measuring range and the zero point can be remotely adjusted online with a 16-bit resolution (automatic zeroing). Torques, strains, forces, temperatures, and vibrations can be recorded within an ambient temperature range of 25°C to 160°C.
