At the Hanover Fair, in addition to electromechanical wireless switchgear working according to the »energy harvesting« principle, the steute business field »Wireless« has introduced a new generation of wireless sensors using the sWave® wireless protocol, developed by steute and running on the 868 / 915 MHz frequency band.
The steute business field »Extreme« provides machine and plant engineers with the new 91 series of robust switchgear that has been designed especially for unfavourable environmental conditions : emergency pull-wire switches, belt-alignment and position switches, »Heavy duty« switchgear. Typical application fields are recycling plants, onshore terminals for bulk material, conveyor technology, and industrial plants for steel production and processing.
As an alternative to electromagnetic switchgear, non-contact sensors are increasingly finding their way into machine and plant engineering. steute already has a wide range of sensors working according to different principles and is now expanding its range further to include type RC 2580 magnetic sensors.
With the ES/EM 98 Extreme series, steute has developed new position switches with metal housings and normed dimensions in acc. with DIN EN 50041, suited to applications in extreme environments.
