With precision and reliability to the top
Tacho generators in drives of mountain railways and ski lifts are exposed to enormous strain. Nevertheless, they must perform for precise and reliable speed measurement. This is why manufacturers rely on HeavyDuty solutions from Baumer Hübner. What does it take for a tacho generator to withstand the rough conditions on snow-covered mountains? Every day and for many years, the cable railway traveling in the Tyrolean Alps to the top of Zugspitze has been carrying hundreds of people to an altitude of 2,964 metres. At a speed of 10 metres per second, the trip takes about seven and a half minutes, powered by two electric motors of 500 kW. In the…

Not spoilt for choice – HeavyDuty encoders in crane and lifting applications
Baumer Hübner has established the class of extraordinarily resilient and reliable HeavyDuty encoders and offers a broad portfolio. Manufacturers of cranes and hoists are among the most frequent users of such sensors. And for good reason: These applications are most demanding and here they can play to their strengths – robustness, precision, resistance and longevity. Crane installations are the elephants in the animal kingdom of machinery – not only for being real heavyweights themselves, but also for performing hardest work day in and day out, often under harsh conditions. They withstand dust on construction sites. They resist salt water and wind in ports. They are exposed to the elements and…

Clever³ – simpler. More reliable. More intelligent
The original puts you one step ahead – point level detection has never been this easy and reliable. Thanks to the new level switch PL20, the CleverLevel series from Baumer now offers more possibilities for detecting point levels. CleverLevel reliably detects every type of medium, whether liquid, pasty, viscous, or solid, and is therefore the solution for a variety of applications for which standard vibrating forks are used today. One of its major advantages is the fact that it does not have to be parameterized to a medium as before but flexibly adapts to the medium at hand. This way, even adhesions such as those that frequently occur with pasty…
