Contactless Transmission of Data, Power



"With contactless inductive couplers, TURCK offers a wear-free alternative to traditional connection technology," said a company spokesperson.

The NIC coupler sets consist of a primary part on the control side and a secondary part on the sensor/actuator side of the connection. The NIC couplers transmit up to eight PNP switching signals and up to 500 milliamps of current with 12 watts of output power. This enables sensors and actuators, such as light curtains, piezo valves or smaller valve manifolds, to be operated without an additional amplifier on the secondary side.

"The NIC couplers are a wear-free alternative to slip rings or mechanically stressed connections," said the spokesperson. "Thus, maintenance intervals can be extended, unplanned downtime reduced and higher clock speeds achieved."

Inductive couplers as contactless connectors also offer freedom of movement to coupled components, such as robots with rotating tools or shafts from which sensor signals have to be taken. Here a contactless connection of the interface is a benefit, since the system also tolerates a counter-rotation of the components.
