Schaeffler Unveils a Revolutionary Range of Sensors for Construction Machinery.

Sure! Here’s the translation to American English:

Schaeffler has introduced an innovative sensor program specifically designed to meet the needs of construction machinery manufacturers. This advancement aims to optimize the utilization and availability of these machines’ capacity in a sector where maximizing performance and minimizing unplanned downtime are critical. The new sensors are capable of detecting overloads and critical operating conditions, enabling more efficient control of operations.

The construction sector faces the challenge of measuring stress on machine components to operate at full efficiency. To address this challenge, Schaeffler has developed two main solutions: torque measurement modules, known as TorqueSense, and the LoadSense-Pin. The TorqueSense employs non-contact sensor technology that collects important data during operation. Through an analog interface or a CAN bus, this data can be used to optimize operational functions and improve maintenance, adapting to the characteristics of each machine. Instead of simply recording usage hours, these modules allow for a remarkably accurate assessment of the accumulated workload, thanks to a magnetostrictive measurement principle that minimizes hysteresis.

On the other hand, the LoadSense-Pin is introduced with pressure in metal components, providing precise measurements of the stresses they are subjected to. With a PVD coating, this sensor detects critical conditions during operation, resulting in reduced operational costs and more efficient machinery management.

In the field of diesel engines, Schaeffler has also launched sensors aimed at aftertreatment of exhaust gases, recently showcased at the bauma fair. These NOx sensors, part of their merger with Vitesco Technologies, are essential for meeting stringent emission limits. They work collaboratively to measure nitrogen oxides before and after the chemical reaction in the SCR catalyst, allowing for precise adjustments in AdBlue dosing and contributing to both reduced emissions and optimized fuel consumption.

Schaeffler’s comprehensive approach to sensor technology highlights its commitment to innovation and sustainability in construction machinery and diesel engines, positioning its products at the forefront of the industry.
