R+W - COUPLING [INTELLIGENT COUPLING]

The intelligent coupling can directly record the mechanical data of the driveline and take precise measurements through user-friendly operation.

Among the ideas behind the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are optimizing operational efficiency and reducing costs of production and monitoring equipment and machinery. All types of production processes can be better adapted to the prescribed requirements based on the collected and processed data.

Collecting the required data in drive technology is not always a simple task. Recording measurement data in a rotary drive system is often hampered by restricted installation spaces or difficult access with a network cable. With intelligent coupling, R+W now offers a hardware and software solution that enables user-friendly and versatile operation.

This is an improved standard coupling that offers additional measurement functions through integrated sensors that measure torque, speed, acceleration and axial load. This data is processed directly in the internal electronics and is simultaneously transmitted and presented in a wirelessly connected mobile device.

R+W's Smart Coupling can be a smart alternative to a torque sensor, providing accurate measurements of different factors at a low price. Smart sensors allow data to be measured without having to install an external measurement amplifier.

Real-time determination of force and torque in the driveline can help reduce or prevent failures and downtime, improving system availability and reliability.
