Inductive couplers
Contactless transmission of energy and data
Inductive couplers are the ideal solution when data or energy needs to be transmitted without fixed wiring. Wear on cables, contacts and slip rings can quickly become a problem in dynamic applications and lead to failure or breakage. The associated machine or system downtime can then be expensive to rectify.
Inductive couplers offer a remedy: they transmit data and energy contactlessly via an air gap. They support IO-Link signal transmission, general signal transmission and power supply. As there is no mechanical connection, you benefit from less wear, higher system availability, shorter set-up times and more flexible processes.
The units can be separated quickly, are easy to handle and maintenance-free. This allows you to react flexibly to new requirements and easily integrate the inductive couplers into your automation system.
The special features
- No mechanical wear: contactless operation prevents wear on cables and contacts.
- Increased system availability: Reduced downtime due to fewer cable breaks.
- Flexibility: Easy handling and quick separation of units for adjustments.
- Maintenance-free: Minimized maintenance effort due to the absence of mechanical connections
