Encoders slash downtime for generators

By Kathie Zipp | January 3, 2012

avton encoderA line of encoders fit existing shafts and flanges while offering high durability. Avtron says its devices’ bearings are rated to over five times greater loads, and include magnetic sensors that shrug off dirt, grease, condensation, and oil. The encoders slash wind-turbine generator downtime while providing protection from all wiring errors. HS45 and AV45 add local and remote predictive diagnostics so technicians can quickly determine if the encoder is working, and detect problems before they cause an actual generator trip.
