R+W Sensor technology – experience the future today
Acquire highly accurate performance data from directly within the drive line.
Smart and secure into the future. This is now possible with the intelligent coupling from R+W Antriebselemente – our innovative answer to the modern requirements of digitalization, automation and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
The sensor technology can be integrated into existing applications. Use in confined spaces or in mobile applications is also possible without any problems. The sensor retrofit is smart and simple.
Properties of the R+W Sensor App
With the R+W Sensor App, the measurement data can be displayed and recorded
- Measured data can be displayed and recorded, and device settings can be configured via the R+W Sensor App
- Clear display of all measured values with average and extreme values
- Chart view with time dependent X-Y graphs
- Up to four connected couplings at one time
- Recording function for all values with CSV export
- Information and settings for the Intelligent Coupling and R+W Gateway
Operating principle
The sensor system can be integrated into your drivetrain as a wireless measurement unit. The principle is as simple as it is ingenious:
- We measure torque, rotational speed, and temperature, allowing operating conditions and overloads to be accurately detected.
- R+W internal electronics capture the data directly and transmit it simultaneously to a connected mobile device or, via a gateway, directly to the machine control system or a PC.
Power Supply Options
Integrated power supply
- Sensor power supply via integrated rechargeable battery
