Sensors with ATEX certification and SIL2/PLd certificate

TWK introduces a new safety encoder for explosion protection according to ATEX, Zone 1 / 21.

Don't go airborne, but better safe than sorry if your application or its environment is at risk of explosion. TWK introduces a new safety encoder for explosion protection according to ATEX, Zone 1 / 21. Additionally with certificate for functional safety SIL2 / Performance Level d. There are many different applications. Simple and complex. Inexpensive and expensive. Non-hazardous and hazardous. Some of them are even explosive. The medium-sized company TWK has suitable sensor technology for almost all areas of application to convert mechanical into electrical measured variables or into electronic data.

Inclination sensor with gyroscope correction - we got the hang of it

TWK contributes by means of sensor fusion with a gyroscope and offers inclination sensors with gyroscope correction.

Something is moving - but if possible not in such a way that disruptions in an operating process occur and certainly not accidents. TWK makes a contribution with the help of sensor fusion with a gyroscope and offers inclination sensors with gyroscope correction. Gyros comes from Greek and means rotation - so it has to do with turning movements. It is a clever combination...

TÜV certified PROFIsafe inclination sensor

The PROFIsafe inclination sensor model NBT/S3 from TWK-ELEKTRONIK has now been certified by TÜV in accordance with the EN61508 and ISO13849 standards.

Due to its redundant sensor technology and internal monitoring measures, it achieves the classification according to SIL2 or PLd. Thus it can be operated directly on a safe control system. It provides a safe tilt angle with a resolution of 0.01 degree. The version with one measuring axis has a measuring range of ± 90 degrees and is suitable for all tilting or rotating mo...

SIL2 vibration sensor with PROFINET

TWK is extending its safety sensor system range: a further sensor with the PROFIsafe over PROFINET interface is now available: vibration sensor NVT90/S3.

TWK is expanding its range of safety sensors: A further sensor with the PROFIsafe interface via PROFINET is now available: The NVT90/S3 vibration sensor. This device based on MEMS sensor technology measures low-frequency vibrations - especially in wind turbine towers. The frequency range from 0.05 Hz to 60 Hz also allows gear box disturbance vibrations to be registered. ...
