Internet Address Phone Fax Mail Typical applications EPHYMESS sensors can be combined: Various sensors are combined in a cable harness to monitor electric drives. Resistance thermometers for taction on motors and gearboxes. Oil temperature sensors for gears in locomotives and in mining machines. Oil level gauges for the supervision of gear oil in metros, trams or locomotives. Speed sensors for metros, suburban trains, trams and high-speed trains. Sensor systems for control of wheel-set bearings in european highspeed trains ffer more safety. Since 1990 EPHYMESS supports the railway industry with highly specialized sensors. We offer sensors for the thermal supervision of wheel-set bearings, complete sensor cable harnesses designed according to project-specific requirements, temperature sensors for monitoring motors and oil temperature of gears as well as sensors for the thermal control of gearboxes. In addition speed sensors and oil level gauges are manufactured on a project-specific base. All sensors, detectors and modules are designed and produced to fulfill the high requirements of the railway technology and comply with the regulations of the ISO/TS 22163 standard (IRIS). EPHYMESS sensors are configured on customer request and each sensor is tested and qualified before leaving the factory.
