Applications in mobile machinery Benefit from our expertise Thanks to years of experience in collaboration with leading mobile machinery manufacturers, one of our main areas of expertise today is the off-highway sector. Whether a modularly designed, modified standard product or a customised development – every order completed will fulfill the expectations and individual requirements of every customer. This is our goal. Our international customers are active in the following areas: > Agricultural machinery > Forestry machinery > Construction machinery > Industrial trucks > Municipal vehicles...

As one of the first manufacturers for safety technology in machine construction, elobau started using reed switches in the 1970s. As contactless safety switches and sensors offer more freedom in machine designs, and are more cost-effective than other technologies, they are now well established in this area. Reed technology is far superior to mechanical switches in terms of environmental influences. With high sensing distances and offset values, no mechanical interlocking is necessary, which means easy alignment. Based on reed, Hall, RFID, ultrasonic and capacitive technologies, elobau...

Modular operating systems > State-of-the-art technology and perfected ergonomic design > Configurable, multifunctional and modular > Custom variants without additional tools and development costs > Sustainable: 75% of the used plastics are bio-based; armrest made of innovative apple leather > Plug & Play: CAN bus (SAE J1939) Operation and control Joysticks and steering column switches > Modular design > All functions of joystick axes, push buttons and thumbwheels are freely configurable > Actuation types: no-detent / detent, with friction brake or overpressure points > Various deflections >...

elobau sensors are precise, contactless, and wear and maintenance free. The electronic sensors are based on Hall, MEMS, magnetoresistive or ultrasonic principle. The product range also includes a variety of reed-contact-based sensors for position detection, which can also be used in potentially explosive areas. The different technologies and designs mean that elobau sensors can be used problem free in many mobile and industrial applications. As well as the extensive standard range, elobau also produces individual solutions quickly, efficiently and reliably, in close collaboration with the...
