Baumer sensors are used on multiple locations in the traction control. High-quality speed signal optimizes energy consumption. Speed measurement at the wheel axle reduces the negative influence of play of gear, elasticity and non-linearity. Precise differential pressure measurement provides dependable information about the flow-rate of coolants.

Applications
