Measurement & Positioning Specialist ELGO Builds Out Line of Sensors for
Elevator Safety
Loaded with precision protection features, ELGO sensors ensure passenger safety in building elevators
Crafting sensor and measurement products for 45 years,
many of which combine sophisticated magnetic and electronics
technology, ELGO Electronic GmbH of Germany
has recently built out its Limax series of sensors that detect
absolute shaft position and speed to ensure passenger safety
in elevators.
As the name suggests, the latest Limax Compact 1-2-3 series
shown above is a new generation of safety sensors that
detect absolute shaft position and speed and offer additional
safety functions in a more compact casing. The Limax1CP is
the smallest in the trio at 254x74x38 mm with features that
include door bridging and safety circuit outputs including door
monitoring.
While the Limax1CP and its connection design were developed
with cost-efficiency in mind, the Limax2CP and Limax3CP
use strain-relieved plugs with an additional protective
cover, which, in addition to IP54, also enable a protection
class of up to IP67 with an additional fixed seal on the plug
connection. This provides protection against ambient influences,
including the operation of firemen's lifts and external
elevators.
Magnetics play an important role in many of the company's
products applied for precise positioning not only to elevators
but also automation, laboratory and medical equipment.
Often its magnetic measurement and positioning technology
is applied to renewable energy power plants. The non-contact,

and is also suitable for rotary applications.
wear-free sensor solutions enable optimum positioning in wind
and solar power plants for uses such as solar mirror and panel
tracking, also in wind turbines for detection of nacelle position,
tilt angle of rotor blades and speed control. The company's
product line includes linear and angular measurement products,
as well as rotary encoders and an array of accessories.
The EMAX-HI provides high resolution to 1 µm for dynamic processes
such as linear drives
