Tailor-made speed sensors

Flexible sensor solutions tailored to your installation space, measuring task and electrical requirements.

When standard solutions do not fit

A speed sensor tailored to your requirements

Every application has different requirements. The installation space, mechanical interfaces, measuring principle, output signal, connection technology and environmental conditions determine whether a standard speed sensor is suitable or whether a bespoke adaptation or development is the better choice.

Noris develops customised speed sensors based on proven sensor technology and adapts them to the specific requirements of your application. Depending on the project, we can customise the mechanical design, measuring principle, electrical signals, connectors, cables and cable protection or develop complete sensor assemblies.

From individual solutions to series production, our sensor experts support you in selecting and developing the right solution for your measurement task.

Custom special design

  • Developed according to the requirements of your application
  • Housing and mounting geometry adapted to the available installation space
  • Individual measuring technology and signal configuration
  • Customised connectors, cables and cable protection
  • Application-specific testing and approvals available depending on the project

Protection against moisture, mechanical stress and harsh environments

Connection and cable protection

Protection against environmental conditions and mechanical stress

Shielded connection between the sensor and wiring

The connection between sensor and cable is an important part of a reliable sensor solution. Connectors, cable glands and protective hoses protect both the cable and the sensor electronics against environmental and mechanical influences.

Depending on the application, we configure the connection and cable protection to suit the installation conditions and help ensure reliable operation throughout the service life of the sensor.

Maintenance-friendly and easy to install

Standardised connectors

Standardised connectors provide a secure electrical connection and protect the sensor against environmental influences such as moisture and dust. During maintenance, the sensor and connection cable can be separated quickly, simplifying replacement and installation.

The right connection for your application

Customised connections

If our standard connection options do not meet your requirements, we can adapt the sensor accordingly. We can integrate your preferred connector, configure individual cable solutions or recommend an alternative connection suitable for your application and installation conditions.

Several sensors combined into one solution

Sensor assemblies and cable harnesses

We combine multiple sensors into application-specific sensor assemblies with connecting cables and connectors according to your requirements. Speed and temperature sensors, for example, can be integrated into a common assembly.

For demanding underfloor railway applications, the solution can be equipped with cable sheath, specialised potting of the sensor electronics and 360° rotatable sensors and connectors to minimise torsional stress.

Fire protection certification for the complete sensor solution is also available on request.
