Up to 4 encoder units can be integrated integrated into one sensor, each encoder units is independent from each other and can configured independently, e.g. interfaces, pulse-per-revolution (ppr) and other settings. This concept reduces the number of connectors and cables from the axle to the car body and with this, it reduces the risk of damages due to external impacts. Torsional vibration detection BPIK and BPIV signals enable torsional vibration detection with ultimate dynamics and precision, by unsurpassed signal quality and robustness, high resolution and zero backlash. This cuts down on wear while improving traction and passenger safety and comfort. Contact Questions? Our experts are always available for further information. Just send us an e-mail.
