Product description: Measurement variation in the Electric Motor
The tip_e-motion temperature sensor system is a wireless, passive sensor for use in synchronous motors for monitoring the temperature of permanent magnets in the electromagnetic field.
They enable temperature measurements on the product or on a reference board in motion, rotation, in the smallest of spaces or in mobile applications.
They enable temperature measurements in rotating applications in the smallest of spaces and function in strong electromagnetic alternating fields to protect permanent magnets from excessively high temperatures (Curie temperature). By using tip_e-motion, the electric motor can be permanently controlled in such a way that it precisely monitors the temperature and so the motor power can be used ideally.
The sensors are specified up to 300 ° C and are characterized with a long service life. Up to 6 sensors can be used with a measuring rate of up to 5 Hz. With optimized transmitting and receiving antennas from pro-micron, the system can be used individually in a wide variety of system types. The sensitive measuring system can show temperature changes of less than 0.05 Kelvin. The absolute system accuracy is specified with 1 Kelvin.

tip_e-motion in Action - direct Measurement of the Motor Temperature on Permanent Magnets
Measurement variations in motor
Variation 1 - Rotor temperature:
• Sensor-antenna in rotor
• Reader-antenna on motor

Variation 2 - Shaft temperature:
• Sensor-antenna on the shaft
• Reader -antenna external

By individual adaptation of sensor design, packaging and antenna layout an optimized solution for the specific usage is realized
