SmartSense24 Industrial Brake & Clutch Wear Sensor for Maximized Part Lifespan

SmartSense24: Revolutionizing Brake & Clutch Monitoring with Intelligence

The SmartSense24 industrial brake and clutch wear sensor makes it possible to monitor, track and predict when brakes or clutches should be replaced, maximizing part lifespan and eliminating downtime.

The first product of its kind, SmartSense24 controls and monitors spring-applied, electrically-released brakes and clutches, increasing the lifecycle. The controller provides real time status and wear condition on an LED display by electronically sensing armature movement after power is applied. The amount of wear as a result of cycle rate usage is then translated to the display.

In addition, SmartSense24 automatically controls the amount of voltage the brake or clutch is receiving – reducing the holding voltage up to 70% - which reduces coil heating when the brake is disengaged. The SmartSense24 industrial brake and clutch wear sensor also emits a 24V output signal when brake/clutch movement has begun, verifying disengagement and enabling remote monitoring of the armature, allowing precise timing between brake/clutch disengagement and motor starting or stopping.

A visual warning display appears when the brake or clutch has fewer than 1000 cycles remaining, enabling proper timing for clutch or brake replacement and cost-containment. It is all-solid-state, with no relays or contacts to fail, and can reliably operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

SmartSense24 is a proven reliable industrial brake and clutch wear sensor that allows engineers and system managers to optimize part lifecycles and prevent failure. Knowing the percentage of wear allows engineers and system managers to plan maintenance and avoid emergency repair costs that can occur when brake or clutch replacement is guesswork.

What is an Industrial Brake & Clutch Wear Sensor?

An industrial brake and clutch wear sensor is a device used to monitor the wear and condition of materials in braking and clutch systems. These sensors help ensure optimal performance, prevent unexpected failures, and minimize downtime in industrial machinery, heavy equipment, and automation systems.

Benefits of Using an Industrial Wear Sensor

Industrial brake and clutch wear sensors provide several key advantages in various applications:

• Predictive Maintenance: Wear sensors provide real-time data that allows for proactive servicing.
• Reduced Downtime: : With reliable wear sensors like SmartSense24, companies can plan maintenance during scheduled downtimes, keeping operations running smoothly without unnecessary interruptions.
• Cost Savings: By detecting wear early, businesses can avoid emergency repairs, which are often more expensive than planned maintenance.
• Enhanced Safety: By continuously monitoring wear levels, these sensors help prevent brake or clutch failure, helping to ensure that machinery operates safety.
• Improved Performance: Keeping systems in optimal condition ensures machinery operates at full efficiency, reducing energy waste and wear on other mechanical components.
