Minimize wear in bearings and drive trains

The solution

Imbalances and wind loads shorten the service life of the bearings and the drive train of wind turbines. Balluff's distance-reading analog inductive proximity sensors monitor variation in the spaces between components in critical locations. When excessive stresses are detected, corrective action can be taken to reduce loads and prevent premature wear and damage that would otherwise shorten equipment life.

The features

• Non-contact and wear-free for long service life
• Compact designs for easy integration
