Sensor Intelligence
Monitoring, measuring and optimizing process and quality are the most important requirements for you. Depending on your application, our sensors provide feedback on torques, shear forces, speed, thermal loads and wear.
Our sensor systems are used in early development phases to optimize design concepts or to monitor and control your processes for optimum service life and to track life cycle costs.
Features
- Evaluating Processing Unit (EPU) – To acquire and gain measurement data. The unit processes the data to convert values of force and torque.
- Interfaces – serial RS232, USB / analog 0-20mA, 0-10V / fieldbus, CanBus, Profibus, etc.
- Sensor Software – Offering easy user-interface for displaying and logging data.
- Integration to Wittenstein gearboxes and actuator products
Applications
- Web tension for printing and paper
- Controlling press power for textile machines
- Radial force measurement for feed control and tool monitoring
- Tool life tracking
- Tape feed control
- Force control for industrial robotics
- Collision detection and condition monitoring

Helping Wind Turbines Find the Optimal Wind
The winds of change are near. A poll released by AWEA (American Wind Energy Association) in May 2009 confirmed this, showing that over 75% of Americans support having 25% of the nation’s electricity generated from renewable energy by 2025.
Wind turbines are constructed to yield energy. The longer it can run trouble-fee, the higher the return on the investment. With reliable alpha gearbox components and real-time sensor technology from Wittenstein, the goal can be achieved.
Pitch Motion for the Wind Turbines
Integral to the wind turbine is the pitch drives. The pitch drives are located at the base of the blade and provide the motion in turning the blades in the right position. Optimal efficiency is achieved depending on the wind force. The limited space and reliability requirements point to a Wittenstein product. Using either the alpha TP+ or the alpha SP+ can provide ultimate sealing and lubrication for a constantly turning blade.
Adding the Wittenstein Sensor Technology is the optimal solution for monitoring and diagnosis as well as torque measurement.
Wittenstein Features:
- Remote monitoring of drive components
- Standard off-the-shelf components
- 100% exit testing for alpha SP+ and alpha TP+
Customer Benefits:
- Maximum reliability
- Real-time motion data management
