Baumer encoders are precision devices designed to convert mechanical motion into electrical signals for accurate measurement of position, speed, or direction. While specific components may vary across different models, typical Baumer encoders generally contain the following key elements.
Cranes and other construction machinery are required to be safe, efficient and reliable. Positioning is of prime importance, and redundant systems are often used to eliminate errors. To address this requirement the IXARC redundant encoders are an excellent fit, combining redundant measurement with an easy-to-integrate interface.
With rising energy prices and the prospect of dwindling resources, solar energy is one of the most popular alternatives. However, to get the most benefit from a solar system, solar tracker designers and operators must pay careful attention to the accuracy and the component costs that make up the system, their maintenance requirements and their ability to operate reliably under hot, dusty and windy conditions.
There are several measuring and positioning tasks that must be handled efficiently in wind turbines: in addition to ensuring that the azimuth drives are able to keep the nacelle pointed into the wind, the tilt angle of the rotor blades must be monitored and continuously adjusted through a pitch control system. On top of that, speed control can be challenging under demanding environmental conditions.
