Measuring acceleration & inclination
Suitable for monitoring tasks and predictive maintenance of systems, acceleration sensors from Micro-Epsilon reliably and precisely measure accelerations of sensitive plant components.
Excellent angular accuracy and resolution make the inclination sensors from Micro-Epsilon ideally suitable for precise measurements in laboratory and industry.
Condition monitoring of bearings
Unscheduled downtime of bearings may induce high costs. However, early recognition of bearing damage allows for maintenance labor to be performed during scheduled standstills while minimizing costs. Acceleration ...
Show detailsOscillation measurement of the drive train in wind turbines
Oscillation of the drive train (rotor imbalance, overloading) exceeding the limit values may lead to a failure of components and plant parts. Prerequisite for early recognition of damage and for predictive ...
Show detailsAlignment of solar panels
Aligning solar panels in relation to the course of the sun increases the energy yield, and therefore the effectiveness of a solar panel. Only if the solar panels are always at an optimum angle to the sun, ...
Show detailsMonitoring the tower oscillation
Wind turbines are exposed to oscillations and shock loads. In order to avoid damage and expensive downtime, these tower oscillations are monitored. When exceeding limit values, the plant is reliably shut ...
Show detailsPosition monitoring when anchoring a tripod
In offshore wind turbines, tripods act as the foundation. INC5701 inclination sensors are used to monitor the alignment during the assembly process.
Show detailsMeasurement of track position errors
In rail transport, the new construction and reconstruction of track sections is subject to ever increasing requirements. A faultless track geometry is essential, especially for high-speed lines. In ...
Show detailsMeasurement of the torsional stiffness of motor axles
A decisive factor for the service life and reliability of an engine is the torsional strength of the engine axle. In order to determine the torsional resistance, INC5701 inclination sensors detect the ...
Show detailsPositioning of suction pipes for suction dredgers
Suction dredgers are seagoing vessels that collect sand and silt from the seabed in order to transport it over long distances. They are used for the construction and maintenance of ports and waterways ...
Show detailsMonitoring the vertical alignment of high-bay racks
Fully automated high-bay warehouses often take on enormous dimensions. Lengths of around 80 m and heights of around 50 m can be achieved. Precise alignment of the racks is crucial for the fully automatic ...
Show detailsReduced risk of tipping with loading wagons
In order to increase the safety of loading wagons, automatic braking systems are used. The brakes are activated if the lateral acceleration of a loading wagon becomes too high due to high speeds and tight ...
