Gearboxes with integrated sensor module Smart gearboxes with “cynapse” by Wittenstein alpha are identical to the existing models in terms of design, size and contour, so that a drive solutions which has already been designed needs no further modification. It is the sensor module integrated in the smart gearbox that makes the difference. Thanks to the integrated sensor module, influencing quantities in the process and the environment which impact on gearbox operation can be identified, measured and output via an IO link. In other words, these smart gearboxes allow parameters such as temperature, vibration, operating hours and mounting position to be recorded and communicated to the cloud level using the standardized connectivity of the IO link interface and an IO link master. Both there and in the machine’s immediate environment this information can be used, for instance, to improve the availability and productivity of processes and equipment in condition monitoring or predictive maintenance applications. Gearboxes with “cynapse” thus provide universal connectivity: data flows to their own machine infrastructures as well as to all standard IIoT platforms. Kostal introduces decentralized drive controller Kostal Industrie Elektrik presents the new Inveor MP series for decentralized drive technology. That technology delivers maximum energy efficiency to all synchronous reluctance, synchronous and asynchronous motors. The sensorless motor control and extended speed setting range gets the very best out of every application and does so while consuming minimal energy. Thanks to the universal motor adaptation concept, the INVEOR MP (Motor-mounted Performance class) is suited to any motor and because of its robust IP 65 protective class design can also be used in heavy-duty environments. Smart features, such as the pluggable connections and commissioning via Bluetooth app or PC software, make the INVEOR universal yet individual. background: fotolia www.wittenstein.de/en-en/ www.kostal-industrie-elektrik.com Change your bearing now ... and reduce costs by up to 40%withdrylin ® linear bearings Ready for delivery in 24 hrs Corroding Corrosion-free Plastic instead of metal: replace recirculating ball bearing guides and immediately profit from the advantages ofcorrosion-free drylin ® linear technology.
