Smart and secure into the future – the intelligent coupling from R+W is our innovative answer to modern requirements for digitalization, automation, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Until now real-time data collection in drive technology was especially challenging, with rotating powertrains difficult to access with wiring and instrumentation. But with the R+W intelligent coupling this is a problem of the past!
In addition to providing all of the advantages of an R+W coupling, the intelligent coupling system serves as a wireless data source. This is made possible through on-board sensor technology which
measures torque, speed and acceleration in addition to special options for axial force and bending moment, all from directly within the rotating drive line.
Data is processed by an internal electronic system and transmitted via low energy Bluetooth signal to a connected mobile device, PC or to machine control. This valuable information about operating status and changing conditions can be key to condition monitoring and
predictive maintenance.
