Breakage detection (EC.B) for e-chains®
Prevent costly system damage in an instant
Links in e-chains® are made for tough, continuous use. However, if forces should somehow overtax your e-chain®, the EC.B sensor detects link breakage in your e-chain® immediately and, should the worst happen, sends a notification right away. This allows you or your system to intervene, frequently preventing both additional damage to the opposite chain link and system shutdown. If you believe that this kind of security is exactly right for your application, you can assemble the suitable package with our selection aid. Installation details can be found here.
Discover EC.B functionality
- Module (EC = e-chain B = break detection) detects breaks in individual chain links
- A rope is passed through the e-chain® and tightened to record any change in length and report it to the EC.B. sensor.
- This detects chain breaks, shuts down the system and prevents further damage
EC.B application examples
- Gliding applications
- heavy-duty applications
- Environments with dust and dirt
EC.B mounted on a container crane
- Special mounting brackets allow the EC.B. sensor to be mounted on the moving end of the e-chain®
- Supplementing break detection (EC.B) with an EC.M (EC = e-chain®, M = motion) sensor moves the system from mere condition monitoring to smart detection. The additional measured values (speed, acceleration and temperature) allow the system to calculate service life and display maintenance times.
