Wheel Sensors
Wheel detection systems for constant safety
Presence, direction, speed, wheel diameter: Frauscher wheel sensors reliably collect both safe information up to SIL 4 and output that supports operations. Their maximum availability results from the robust design, high-quality components and extremely reliable technology.
Benefits at a glance
Use for applications up to SIL 4
Highest availability and reliability
Low maintenance and life cycle costs
Simple commissioning
Quick installation without drilling
Variable application options
Precise detection under all conditions
Thanks to their design being both compact and robust, Frauscher wheel sensors capture the required information such as axle traversing, direction, wheel centre pulse and speed, even under the most adverse climatic, technical or operational conditions. As a result, they can be used in a variety of applications, customised solutions, and adapted to individual project requirements.
Focus on applications
Our advanced wheel detection system ensures reliable identification and monitoring of train wheels. The analog signals captured at the tracks are processed via evaluation boards – reliable and with precision. The advantage? No active electronic components are required on track. With optimal coordination between the evaluation board and Frauscher wheel sensors, you can design and implement applications that meet SIL 4 compliant safety standards.
Quick and safe installation
The wheel sensors can be mounted on the inside of the track in a matter of minutes using patented rail claws, without drilling or complex tools. The rail structure remains unaffected, and the rail claw can be utilised irrespective of the rail shape.
Additional advantage: The electronic units that evaluate the analogue sensor signals are installed in protected outdoor cabinets along the track or directly in the interlocking room. No electronics are required in the trackside connection box, which significantly increases the system's resistance to direct environmental influences.
