Position measurement of offshore wind turbine blades

Explore the project


Wind turbine blades can control pitch in order to maximize power generation. Our multiturn Hall effect sensors are applied in wind turbines to provide position feedback of the turbine blades. Unlike contact type position sensors, the contactless Hall effect sensor is not sensitive for vibrations which enhances the life expectancy up to 20 million rotations.
