YOUR MEASUREMENT TASK
From an individual component to a complete drivetrain: find the right application for your technical question.
Torsional vibration dampers, clutches, belt and chain drives through to the complete drivetrain.
Analyse and optimise valve trains, from a motored cylinder head to a fired engine.
Investigate gear pairs and gearboxes in development, on test benches and in end-of-line testing.
Continuously monitor the condition of turbines, generators and drives.
APPLICATIONS
Understand rotating systems in development, testing and operation with coordinated measurement technology and engineering.

Analyse and optimise NVH, comfort and emissions. Timing drives, ancillary units, clutches and dampers, gearboxes and valve train dynamics are investigated to understand the dynamic behaviour of the complete engine.

Measure and evaluate transmission error, torsional vibration, structure-borne sound and resonances. Wind turbine gearboxes and turbines are analysed under real operating conditions to identify dynamic anomalies and assess their technical context.

Assess NVH, electric drives and acoustics as part of the overall system. Hybrid and ICE vehicles, electric drivetrains and e-axles are investigated to understand and optimise vibration, noise and dynamic behaviour.

Analyse gearbox testing, rolling-contact gears and noise optimisation. Single-flank testing and rolling-contact gear analysis enable the assessment of transmission behaviour, noise and dynamic anomalies.
THE COMPLETE MEASUREMENT CHAIN
Precise results depend on the interaction of sensors, signal conditioning, data acquisition, analysis and technical understanding of the system.

The foundation of every precise measurement signal.
Suitable sensors and precise installation provide the basis for reliable measurement data and robust analysis.

Turning sensor outputs into reliable signals for evaluation.
Signal conditioning matched to the sensors can reduce interference and prepares measurement signals for data acquisition.

High-precision, synchronised measurement data acquisition.
RASdelta acquires measurement signals precisely and synchronously, providing a reliable basis for subsequent analysis.

Understand measurement data and recognise relationships.
RAS software visualises and analyses acquired data, revealing relevant dynamic relationships and anomalies.

From measurement data to well-founded technical decisions.
Our engineering expertise combines measurement data, system understanding and experience to deliver clear assessments and practical recommendations.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Answers about measurement systems, applications, engineering and support.
The ROTEC Rotational Analysis System (RAS) has been used for more than 30 years by users in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, power generation and motorsport for comprehensive analysis of rotating components.
For rotational speed measurement, the RAS system uses a counter card and an angle-based approach to analysing rotating components.
ROTEC offers optical and magnetic rotational speed sensors with signal conditioning adapters, the modular RASdelta measurement system and specialised, user-friendly measurement and evaluation software. Together, they provide a complete solution from a single source. The components of the measurement chain are selected to suit the measurement task. The measurement setup and analysis settings contribute to the quality of the results.
The angle-based approach to rotational speed measurement can help identify interference such as sensor vibration. Whether and how it can be corrected depends on the measurement setup and analysis.
Our ROTEC ENGINEERING team of experienced users is available to support demanding technical tasks.
The ROTEC RASdelta front end is a versatile modular measurement system available in 8-slot and 16-slot versions. Measurement cards are selected to suit your specific requirements.
Our RAS software provides a comprehensive toolkit for analysing rotating components and complex systems. It is an effective tool for mechanical engineers and requires no programming knowledge to carry out measurements or evaluations.
For specialised measurement questions, our experienced ROTEC ENGINEERING consulting team is happy to help.
Alongside rotational speed sensors, signal conditioning, data acquisition systems (DAQ) and measurement and evaluation software, ROTEC provides engineering and consulting services.
Our services include CAD design of measurement points, machining components, installing and calibrating sensors, carrying out measurement tasks and evaluating measurements according to customer requirements, including presenting the results. ROTEC ENGINEERING can also deliver individual work packages as part of project support.
ROTEC offers tailored training for users. Contact us for current dates, languages and training formats, including the ROTEC Training Week. Course content is agreed around your specific ROTEC measurement application and, depending on the format, can combine theoretical foundations, an in-depth introduction to the software and practical demonstration measurements in your own environment. This supports users in preparing for their particular application.
We also support the commissioning of new measurement systems to help you become familiar with the settings and capabilities of RAS software.
Alongside our sales and support team in Munich, which directly serves the Central European market, ROTEC works with local partners in many markets worldwide. Their trained staff support users locally with ROTEC measurement technology, first-level support and sales enquiries.
Please contact us or your regional representative to discuss the support available for your specific question.
Alongside personal contact, ROTEC offers an extensive self-service knowledge base. Registered users can find detailed information on measuring and evaluating torsional vibration, transmission error and valve systems. Contact the ROTEC team for information about access.
Describe the measurement task, system type, RAS software version and the steps that lead to the issue. Include the exact error message and, where possible, a screenshot. Agree with support which measurement or configuration files are needed and how to transfer them securely. Only share data you are authorised to disclose.
Yes. Contact us with your question and a description of the measurement setup. We can establish whether you need help with software operation, analysis settings or interpretation. For multi-stage gearboxes in particular, the system layout, gear ratios and operating conditions matter. The support available is assessed for the specific task.
