The measurement and analysis of torsional vibrations is of paramount importance in the development of powertrains of all kinds (ICE, hybrid, EV, hydrogen). Our complete solution for torsional vibration analysis in the automotive, motorsport and heavy-duty sectors includes speed sensors, data acquisition and evaluation as well as engineering services. Typical applications include the analysis of clutches, belt systems, chain drives, transmissions and dynamic investigations of drivetrains.

Our paper âUnderstanding Angular Resolutionâ explains the advantages of the Rotec measurement method and the important difference between angular resolution and angular pitch:
The investigation of valve systems with the Rotec measurement and analysis solution has been a proven means of optimizing valve trains for many years. In addition to conventional measurement on cylinder heads that have been dragged, measurement on fired engines in particular offers in-depth analysis options using MR sensor technology and helps with optimization, especially in applications with the highest demands on performance and emissions.

Analyzing the transmission error of transmissions in a wide range of applications such as classic car and truck transmissions, electric axle drives, reduction and transfer gearboxes as well as planetary gearboxes in the wind energy sector has been a focus of Rotec's measurement technology solution for many years. The high-precision recording of angular positions and the precise analysis of the data through to automated reporting form the basis for investigations in the R&D area as well as for the end-of-line inspection of gear pairs and complete gearboxes.
In addition to classic R&D applications, angle-based speed measurement and evaluation in the order and time range also form the basis for continuous monitoring of components, drive trains and turbines. Rotec monitoring solutions are used for continuous monitoring of steam turbines, as well as for increasing the efficiency of diesel generators in the marine and heavy-duty sectors and for stationary generators. Early detection of critical system conditions enables efficiency increases, reduces operating risks and also forms the basis for predictive maintenance.
With its own speed sensors, signal conditioning, modular RASdelta front end (DAQ), measurement and analysis software and engineering services, ROTEC offers a complete solution for analyzing rotating components.
The ROTEC measuring method is based on the acquisition of angle-equidistant speed signals using a high-precision 12.3GHz counter card. Additional analog, CAN, strain gauge and temperature inputs allow the analysis of complex systems.
The ROTEC analysis software enables comprehensive analyses of rotating components and offers specialized modules for the analysis of valve systems and gearboxes (transmission error / TE and single flank rolling test).
ROTEC products and services are the result of expert knowledge and over 35 years of experience in measurement technology. Our developers and our support team know the requirements from practical experience and are happy to help with new measurement tasks.
Individual measurement technology solutions and the handling of complete and partial projects by ROTEC ENGINEERING enable high flexibility with short lead times. This includes CAD design, sensor application, mechanical processing and the execution of measurements including reports.
A global sales and support network supports ROTEC customers in all relevant markets. Customer training and ROTEC ENGINEERING services can be implemented globally.
