Sensor telemetry with a loop antenna and with automatic self-balancing and simplified torque measurement at the power train

Nowadays, measuring the dynamic torque curve on the power trains of new vehicles is an indispensable method of optimising the vehicle's balance and comfort when driving. Telemetry is nowadays the most suitable means of recording the dynamic torque to the output shaft. Unfortunately, the space involved, especially at the front, is becoming an ever more critical factor.

This is something that MANNER has taken into account when developing its sensor telemetry. One innovation is a flexible, mouldable stator antenna in loop design, which can be shaped as desired and which balances itself automatically. It is simply placed around the rotating shaft and fixed onto the chassis. Contact with car body parts is no longer a problem because of the integrated shielding. The automatic self-balancing function provides electronic tuning to the chassis conditions concerned, and so optimises the transfer of energy for a variety of installations. Remarkable distances of up to 0 ... 100 mm between the stator antenna and the side-shaft can be achieved.

In conjunction with the MANNER's own flex technology, solutions can be attained that only require very small clearances between the drive shaft and vehicle body. Along the telemetry route, the measuring range can be remotely set using an auto-zero function (RMC technology). This makes the unit an absolute "Plug and Play" component.

This tried and tested digital sensor telemetry technology with 16-bit resolution ensures very high resolution and precision, and it even functions at temperatures as low as -50 °C.
