Retrofitting ensures continuous operation
To ensure that modern train control systems receive reliable square-wave signals, vehicle operators have to regularly replace passive sensors with active ones. Lenord+Bauer screw-in threaded sensors are used to upgrade rail vehicles to the state of the art, thus ensuring that they can continue to operate reliably.
In addition to tried-and-tested speed sensors with flange housing, threaded sensors with one or alternatively two channels are another assembly variant that is compatible for installation. These space-saving sensors can be easily integrated into existing designs without any mechanical adjustments thanks to standard thread types and nominal lengths as well as individual cable fabrication.
The sensors detect the rotational speed and direction directly at the motor or at the gear. With a measuring range of 0 Hz to 20 kHz, they detect even the smallest drive movements.
Robust, high-resolution sensors were developed for use in the harshest ambient conditions. They are suitable for traction monitoring, train control and train protection, for example. The maintenance- and wear-free magnetic measuring system in the thick-walled stainless steel housing withstands both shocks and vibrations. Certification in accordance with DNV GL, SIL, ATEX or IECEx is possible as an option.
