Wind turbines are constantly in use everywhere. Encoders that are used for pitch and azimuth

positioning or for speed measurement in wind turbines are consequently exposed to a harsh working

environment. The deciding factor is the permanent availability and quality of the signals – since

downtimes or replacements are not only expensive but also time-consuming. High accuracy ensures

high turbine efficiency.

Kübler encoders, counters and transmission technology measure up to these expectations. At the

same time many helpful details provide the required security and offer a high level of convenience.

When it comes to the evermore important subject of Functional Safety, Kübler offers solutions for the

safe monitoring of generator and rotor speed as well as for all positioning tasks.

Kübler pulses for the wind industry. Safe and reliable.

The resistant Kübler OptoASIC technology offers a very high integration density of components.This means that, on the one hand, the reliability in the applicationcan be increased significantly and, on the other hand, thetechnology demonstrates quality EMC characteristics andshock resistance.

100 % resistant to magnetic fields – extremely compactdesign. Even strong magnetic fields, as occur in the vicinity of brakes or drive motors, pose no problems for the sensortechnology of optical singleor multiturn devices.The technology dispenses with any components that may be susceptible to magneticinfluences.As a result of the proven drive, the encoder has no need of a battery to store the number of revolutions.

The reliable Sendix encoders, with their long service life, offer a very sturdy, rugged bearing construction as a result of the Kübler Safety-Lock™ technology.Encoders with Safety-Lock™ tolerate installation errors and high loads on the shaft, such as occur with wide temperaturefluctuation or vibration.Interlocked, positive-fitting bearings, large bearing spans and a special assembly technique all make a contribution here.The HD-Safety-Lock™ technology is employed in the Sendix Heavy Duty encoders and offers an even more robust construc-tion with even larger bearings. Additional protection is afforded by a shielding cover disk on the shaft as well as by the integrated bearing isolation.

Technologies for the wind industry

Innovations from tradition. Kübler products benefit from 50 years experience in automation engineering.Over the years they have undergone ongoing development and been optimised for use in drives, in outdoor and offshore applications and not least in wind turbines.Small details make a big difference. Our products feature many intelligent, high-quality extras, which offer our customers important advantages, whilst at the same time making a significant contribution to the high availability of the wind turbine.

The sturdy, thick-walled die-cast housing of the Sendix encoders ispress-fit stemmed several times on the encoder flange.The high protection level and the wide temperature range from-40°C to +90°C allow a safe outdoor operation.The die-cast housing is fitted with an extremely resistant base, onwhich the connector flange is screwed with four screws.

Although it has already proved itself in harsh environments, the Sendix family of devices has now been tested and certified to IEC 68-2-11 for resistance to the effects of salt-spray over a period of up to 672 hours – the highest test level.The high certification level for the Sendix encoders attests ahigh level of corrosion resistance.

High heat resistance – combined with high rotational speeds –make the Sendix encoders the optimal solution for all applicationsin a high temperature environment.Also the seals, cables and connectors used withstand extremetemperatures.

The Safety-Lock™ Technology of the Kübler encoders avoids serious, expensive failures right from the start – even with increased levels of axial loading, shock and vibration.This can eliminate enormous service costs and expensivedowntimes in applications worldwide.
