Our modular data acquisition unit, the XMA-ROTOR, brings cutting-edge module technology to the specialized mechanical housing designed for rotor head instrumentation.
Say goodbye to outdated slip ring technology – the XMA-ROTOR revolutionizes the game by offering a completely wireless and contactless connection between the rotor and the stator.
Power is transmitted through inductive coupling, while data, health monitoring info, configuration data, and synchronization signals are transferred over a bi-directional radio link.
