"The intelligent use of sensors and encoders increases availability and efficiency."
The cost of energy is the main focus in the wind power industry. Supreme robustness, low maintenance requirements, easy handling, self-diagnosis and redundancy are the functions we employ to meet this challenge.
Wind turbines are exposed to constantly fluctuating, extreme ambient conditions throughout the required 20-year lifetime. The components used must withstand salt water, extreme temperatures, dirt and oil while fulfilling their function reliably. As a one-stop supplier and longstanding provider in the wind power industry, Baumer knows the needs of its partners and offers a wide portfolio of sensor solutions optimally tailored to these special requirements. Through the continuous development of innovations, Baumer repeatedly sets new standards to increase its customers' and its own technological and business success.
Baumer offers a suitable solution for every wind turbine concept (with gears or direct drive).
