Sensors for Wheel Slide Protection (WSP) systems

Baumer sensors are used directly in the control of Wheel Slide Protection (WSP) systems — for speed measurement and brake pressure control — and also play a role in monitoring operating conditions in brake systems.

Applications

Wheel Slide Protection (WSP)

Speed sensor

Suitable for a wide range of approved wheel slide protection systems
Compliant with TSI
Compliant with the EN 50128 / EN 50129 SIL2 standard
Offers configurable current and voltage interfaces for connection to all relevant WSP controllers

BPIK bearingless axle encoder BPIV2 bearing-mounted axle encoder

Efficient Brake Control

Pressure sensor

Efficient brake control requires short response times
High dielectric strength and improved EMC immunity compared to the EN 50121-3-2 standard
Pressure ranges available for both pneumatic and hydraulic brake systems
Category 2, suitable for bogie mounting

PP10R compact pressure sensor PP20R high-precision pressure sensor

Level Measurement

Level Switch

Reliable level detection and prevention of false readings thanks to fouling-resistant sensors
Category 2 suitable for bogie mounting (per EN 61373)

Level Measurement

Measurement of fill level to ensure availability
Optimized maintenance costs through early, operation-oriented refill time detection

Ultrasonic distance sensor LBFS point level switch
