AIQ DETECT
UPGRADE FOR UPTIME

Upgrade your flexible coupling with AIQ Detect and benefit from enhanced monitoring of the coupling condition. The provided condition information can help support operational reliability and reduce unplanned downtime.

GREATER TRANSPARENCY OF COUPLING CONDITION WITH AIQ DETECT

AIQ Detect turns your flexible N-EUPEX and RUPEX coupling into a smart component. The digital coupling sensor monitors the wear condition of the elastomers and also measures the direction of rotation and speed. This allows you to monitor the condition of your coupling around the clock.

MINIMIZE DOWNTIMES

Continuous coupling condition monitoring with AIQ Detect can help reduce the risk of unplanned failures and supports reliable system operation. It also provides the foundation for condition-based maintenance. Instead of replacing elastomer elements at fixed intervals, AIQ Detect enables maintenance to be performed when it is actually required. This can contribute to more efficient maintenance planning and support the targeted use of resources.

SAVE EFFORT

With AIQ Detect, the condition of your flexible coupling is evaluated based on validated measurement data. No additional system training or personnel training is required for monitoring. Once the defined wear limit of the elastomers is reached, the sensor reports the change in condition. This provides time to plan the required maintenance measures. Annual routine maintenance can require several hours and plant shutdowns. With AIQ Detect, elastomer replacement can be planned based on actual condition, which may help reduce maintenance effort.

MONITOR FUNCTION

The sensor not only monitors elastomer wear but also records every rotation of the coupling. Based on this data, AIQ Detect can determine and output rotational speed and direction of rotation. The provided information supports monitoring of drivetrain movement and operating condition.

CONVENIENT STATUS MONITORING
WITH EXTENSIVE CONNECTION OPTIONS

With AIQ Detect, you always have your coupling status in view. The wear condition of the elastomers is displayed directly on the sensor via a colored LED light strip. In addition, you can access the status via the AIQ App using a Bluetooth connection. A wired PLC interface is available for integration into your control system. You can configure pin assignments and adjust warnings. The coupling condition can also be monitored online in the AIQ Web Portal. For this purpose, AIQ Detect must be connected to an existing AIQ Core, whose WiFi connection is used for data transmission. A complete overview of technical data is available in the datasheet, which can be downloaded directly as a PDF.

SIMPLY RETROFIT OR ORDER DIRECTLY

When purchasing a new N-EUPEX or RUPEX, you can configure it with the AIQ Detect Ready option when ordering. Your coupling will then be equipped ex works with the magnets that the sensor needs for its measurements. Everything is then ready for use with the AIQ Detect. Of course, you can also order the AIQ Detect sensor simultaneously. You can then keep an eye on the condition of your clutch immediately after installation.

AIQ Detect can also be retrofitted to any N-EUPEX and RUPEX coupling, allowing you to easily add smart functionality to your existing couplings. The magnets required for measurement must then be installed retrospectively.

To retrofit your already installed N-EUPEX or RUPEX coupling with an AIQ Detect sensor, coupling-specific upgrade packages and an installation kit are available. You can order both in the FLENDER Mall. If your coupling is already AIQ Ready, the installation kit is not necessary. You can find out more about the contents of the packages and direct links to order the products in the mall on the right-hand side.
