HARCO's SIMx™ technology enables our high temperature sensors to withstand 3000°F (1649°C) without structural failure. This heat resistant alloy allows positioning of sensors near a gas turbine's combustion chamber, allowing more accurate temperature readings - essential for maximum efficiency & reliability (read more)

Earlier troubles found in wind turbines were associated with the gear box. Most people are ready to jump into conclusion that it was due to poor quality workmanship and maintenance. In real life, rapid wind speed and direction changes can cause severe stresses on gear teeth. Strong wind can change the center of mass of the Nacelle, the force distribution as a result is totally unpredictable. It... (read more)

Encoders for Wind Turbines from Fraba.

Encoders are used in wind turbines primarily to maximize efficiency, by enchanced positioning of various parts. (read more)

The microprocessor controlled pitch regulation ensures continuous and optimal adjustment of the angles of the blades in relation to the prevailing wind.
The pitch mechanism is fitted in the blade hub and contains a separate hydraulic pitch cylinder for each blade. These separate cylinders also ensure triple braking safety, because one feathered blade is sufficient to stop the turbine. (read more)

Wind Turbines operate in extreme outdoor environments. Height and location make service difficult and costly. When years of reliable service are critical to your reputation , Motion Sensors' Hermetically Sealed VR sensors are your best option. They are hermetically sealed for resistance to moisture and other atmospheric contamination. (read more)

Smith Systems, Inc. passive speed sensors (Magna-Tran ®)convert mechanical motion to an A/C voltage without the need of a power supply. These self-contained magnetic sensors produce a magnetic field which, when in the proximity of ferrous objects in motion, generate a voltage. The frequency of this voltage is directly proportional to the speed of the object in motion. (read more)
