Kübler Pulses for the Wind Industry. Safe and Reliable.
Wind turbines are constantly in use everywhere. Encoders that are used for pitch and azimuth positioning or for speed measurement in wind turbines are consequently exposed to a harsh working environment. The deciding factor is the permanent availability of the signals - since downtimes or replacements are not only expensive but also time-consuming.
Kübler encoders, counters and transmission technology measure up to these expectations. At the same time many helpful details provide the required security and offer a high level of convenience.
Encoders for Pitch and Azimuth Control
Safety first! Measuring systems form an integral part of the safe control of pitch and azimuth and need to offer reliable, precise availability at all times. No matter when nor where. Kübler Sendix series encoders set standards here when it comes to safety, accuracy and ruggedness - whether in the drive or as a stand-alone measuring system in wind turbines.
The flexible options offered by the Kübler Sendix encoders create the ideal solution for every eventuality when it comes to the construction of wind turbines.
- Absolute Multiturn Encoders Sendix 58.
- Absolute Encoders with integrated Resolver.
- Encoder with rugged bearing unit.
- Optical multiturn gear.
- Sendix F36.
- Sendix M3658 and M3678.
Speed measurement
of rotor and generator shafts
A tough nut. Accurate speed information is an important measurement for the control loop of a wind turbine. Measuring systems that supply this information are often subjected to harsh environmental conditions but must not suffer any loss of reliability.
Kübler incremental encoders can handle strong vibration or extreme variations in temperature without any problem. Here, their diverse fitting options guarantee easy, safe installation.
Technologies
Innovations from Tradition. Kübler products benefit from 50 years experience in automation engineering. Over the years they have undergone ongoing development and been optimised for use in drives, in outdoor and offshore applications and not least in wind turbines.
Small details make a big difference. Our products feature many intelligent, high-quality extras, which offer our customers important advantages, whilst at the same time making a significant contribution to the high availability of the wind turbine.
- Safety Lock™.
- Optical sensor systems without a battery
- Sea-water resistant versions.
- Shock and vibration resistant.
- Insensitive to interference: OptoASICs
- Availability with SIL3 certification.
Transmission & Counting Tech.
Well advised. A perfect match for Kübler encoders and counters, the comprehensive range of transmission technology, cables, connectors and cordsets ensure compatible, error-free connections and highlyaccurate transmissions.
Doubly safe. Counting technology components from Kübler reliably monitor control functions. As a redundant component they can activate up to 6 alarm outputs in case of overspeed or underspeed. Slip or gear breakage can be effectively avoided by comparing two speeds with each other.
