KNOW the Load and HEALTH of your bearing and rotating equipment, by one sensing solution.

Smart Photonic Sleeve

The Smart Photonic Sleeve is a steel sleeve including optical sensors. Together with an intelligent interrogator hardware and smart data analytics algorithms it offers actionable information about rotating equipment. Including load, temperature, their distributions, health and performance. The product uses optical sensors with advantages like; EMI and explosive safe, use of one optical wire, long distances sensing, small integration footprint and suited for any environment. The sleeve can be obtained seperately and as an end-to-end solution including visualization on a dashboard.

Photonic sleeve

A steel sleeve equipped with a mesh of fiber-optic sensors, which measure the strain distribution on the rotating asset, From this the load, temperature, speed and condition can be derived.

Measurement device

The measurement device acquires the sleeve measurements and offers robust and reliable real-time measurement with a high sampling rate  as input for rotating asset analysis to load and condition

Asset analytics

Software functions translate measured sensor wavelengths into physical parameters; load, temperature, speed and condition enabling the use for operation optimization or design validation. 

Dashboard

Visualizing rotating assets real-time on system load behavior, condition and any other interesting phenomina. Giving insights on system design, efficiency and expected maintenance. 

Bearing load sensing

See our Smart Photonic Sleeve offering, all components can be ordered individually from single sleeve providing strain variation output without any measurement device until the complete solution with dashboard.
