Reliable sensor solutions increase the efficiency and the lifetime of the wind power plant, which leads to a significantly lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Technologically advanced components made to fit – mechanically, electrically as well as with the right signals and interfaces – is enabling digitalization in the simplest way!
Generator encoders
Bearingless 2000 series
Magnetic ring encoders for large shafts.
Heavy duty 800 series
Wide selection of incremental heavy duty encoders with features for condition monitoring and functional safety.
Compact 700 series
Robust incremental encoders with hollow shafts up to 25.4 mm.
Condition monitoring
With encoders’ condition monitoring functionalities, they enable predictive maintenance and problem-free operation time
The Leine Linde generator encoders are easy to install. Their product design and mounting solutions are well thought-through. For example, the Bearingless 2000 series, which are robust magnetic ring encoders with a diameter up to two meters, were developed especially for the gearless direct drives and hybrid drives of wind turbines. The encoders can be equipped with additional scanning units to enable redundancy or extra output signals if this is of use in the system. And the classic encoder model 862 is also available in the form of a dual output solution, called model 865, providing two electrically isolated output signals from one single casing.
Electrical system equipment
Overspeed
Leine Linde’s programmable speed monitor.
Fieldbus gateways
Robust gateways for a wide selection of fieldbus communication interfaces.
Fieldbus gateways, speed monitoring devices, encoder switches, signal splitters and converters are some of the electrical system equipment developed and manufactured by Leine Linde.
Rotor speed and position encoders
Bearingless 2000 series
Magnetic ring encoders for large shafts.
Industrial 600 series
Absolute encoder for demanding environments.
Robust 500 series
Versatile 58 mm encoders in modular design.
For wind turbines with gearless drives or medium-speed hybrid drives, the simplest and most reliable solution is often to measure the rotational speed by an encoder directly on the main shaft. The Bearingless 2000 series are ring encoder made to match the diameter of your shaft, up to very large sizes For slip ring-mounted encoders there are a wide range of models, sizes, and mounting accessory options available. The Leine Linde 600 series comprises both absolute single-turn and multiturn encoder models, using inductive scanning for high-resolution position readout. And the versatile 500 series contains both absolute and incremental 58 mm encoders with a multiplicity of different output signals and resolutions. All Leine Linde encoder are robust and withstand the harsh conditions to provide problem-free
service-life.
Yaw system encoders and limit switches
Industrial 600 series
High-durability absolute single- turn and multiturn encoders with inductive scanning.
600 YAWMO®
Position sensor with pinion wheel for the wind turbine nacelle or other large axis rotation.
FSI 900 YAWMO®
Functionally safe limit switch with programmability for wind turbine nacelle positioning.
Robust 500 series
Versatile absolute and incremental encoders for all needs.
Leine Linde’s 600 YAWMO® and FSI 900 YAWMO® are customized encoder solutions including gears and mounting brackets. In both the 600 series and the 900 series, we focus on a specific technology for even greater resistance, working even in the most difficult conditions, such as the inductive scanning method and optimized ball bearings to increase the service lives of the encoders.
The FSI 900 YAWMO®, with limit switches, has certified safety functions in accordance with the machinery directive (2006/42/EG) and IEC 61400. For functional safety needs, we can help you find a product designed for the exact application.
