Robust solutions for power generation

Rugged controls and sensors for wind turbines

The wind energy technology as a fairly new way of energy generation competes against convential ways of energy production. For this purpose, state of the art wind turbines are needed. For years now, our products contribute to the efficiency of on- and offshore wind mills all over the world.

The special requirements are at the same time the strengths of our products. Strokes of lightning, high humidity, extreme temperatures (heat and cold-weather-conditions), salty air and extreme mechanical stress are just a few demands on- and offshore.

Applications and products

Our products maybe used for diverse applications. For instance, our Motionline products offer pitch control solutions but also qualify for numerous other subsystems in wind mills.

Our sensors are applicable for sensing speed of generators or angle positions of hubs or rotor blades. Compared to optical sensors our non-aging, wearless magnetic measurement principle offers numerous advantages.
