Wind Power



CARLEN Sensors rotary encoders provide reliable feedback for speed control, position and overspeed
protection for wind energy applications worldwide. Wind turbines present a unique set of challenging
environmental conditions. Extreme temperatures, electrostatic discharge, vibration, and exposure to hydraulic fluids can all shorten the life and performance of wind turbine components. CARLEN encoders are designed
from the ground up specifically for these severe environments, and provide precise, reliable performance to
assure maximum energy production.

CARLEN Sensors rotary encoders are ideal for gear train and generator speed control, pitch propeller position, and yaw axis position and speed control.
