mayr EAS-Sensor Integrated Transmitter for Safety Clutches

Safety clutches provide precise torque limiting to ensure that the loads on components in machines and facilities do not exceed allowable levels The EAS-Sensor safety clutch with integrated signal transmitter developed by mayr Antriebstechnik sends the overload signal wirelessly.

With the EAS-Sensor, the limit switch is integrated directly in the clutch. It detects the disengagement motion of the clutch in case of overload and transmits the signal wirelessly to a base station connected to the machine controller. The EAS-Sensor is adjusted in the factory for proper operation, eliminating the need for assembly and adjustment effort.

The transmitter of the new unit, including its power supply, is entirely contained in the torque adjustment nut of the proven EAS-compact safety clutch. It reports the operating state of the clutch at regular, short intervals, along with information on the supply voltage level. If the supply voltage drops, a warning signal is triggered early enough to allow the transmitter battery to be replaced promptly. This does not require dismounting the clutch.
