brushes run directly on the copper layer. LongLife is what Baumer Hübner calls their
tachometer technology patented in 1987 which combines the positive of above procedures and eliminates the drawbacks. In a special process and depending on the tacho variant, Baumer Hübner embeds one or two massive silver tracks into the commutator surface. The track can be very fine thanks to relatively minor tacho currents. TDP 0.2 LT features even two silver tracks. This ensures permanent low contact resistance even under difficult conditions. And it allows for a 60 mV/min- 1 voltage constant of TDP 0.2 LT resulting in a wide detectable speed range from ≤ 0.08 to 10,000 min-1, with both mechanically and electrically limited maximum speed. TDP 0.2 LT therefore provides a dynamic range of 1 : 125,000. The brushes especially modified by Baumer Hübner together, with the LongLife commutator ensure maintenance-free service life that even will exceed that of the ball bearings.

LongLife even for ski Lifts Ski lifts carrying millions of skiers to mountain peaks every year have likewise tough requirements on drive control. Here too, to ensure passenger safety manufacturers rely on tacho generators that have proven themselves in many applications. They ensure reliable equipment functionality even during severe frost, snowfall and icy winds. Today, speed-controlled drives are also common in ski lifts for smooth starts and variable travel speed. For decades, lift manufacturers have been deploying analog tacho generators by
Baumer Hübner such as GMP 1.0. The tacho generator is directly connected to the slowly rotating cable wheel via step-up converter and chain wheel drive. This way, dead speed in the motor gearbox is isolated from the control loop and generates sufficient speed signals even under harsh ambient conditions. The GMP 1.0 also features two silver tracks for permanent low contact resistance and thus a widely detectable speed range with good transmission quality of measured values. The robust design and standard temperature compensation make the tacho generator ideal for use in the harsh conditions of snow-covered mountains.
More than half a century of experience in
HeavyDuty tacho generators and encoders has evolved the comprehensive Baumer Hübner portfolio of reliable, precise and durable product variants - from small to large designs. They support all relevant analog and digital interfaces and excel with the capabilities required to withstand even adverse ambient conditions. Application examples like mountain railways and ski lifts clearly prove that for users with high requirements the HeavyDuty Original is the right choice in this encoder class.
