About KMT Kraus Messtechnik & Telemetrie
KMT Kraus Messtechnik & Telemetrie GmbH, based in Otterfing (Bavaria), develops and manufactures wireless telemetry systems for digital measurement data transmission on machines, plants and vehicles. The product range extends from single-channel systems for torque or temperature measurement (strain gauges, thermocouples, PT100, IEPE, voltage signals) through compact systems with up to 24 channels and modular multi-channel telemetry with inductive or radio transmission to waterproof special systems (IP65) for measurements on wheels and rotors with 4 to 64 channels. In addition, a comprehensive range of services is offered: consulting, 3D planning, installation support, calibration, development of custom housings including strain gauge application, and custom electronic assemblies. Applications include, among others, torque measurement on rotating shafts, contactless mechanical power measurement in vehicle testing, and wireless rotational speed and temperature measurement on vehicle wheels. Customers can be found in automotive, rail, aviation (helicopters, propellers), shipping, mechanical engineering (machine tools, rolling mills, paper machines, wind turbines) as well as in research and development. Customers include, among others, TÜV SÜD Rail and Porsche.

Technologies & Sensor Technology
Strain gauges (quarter, half and full bridge)
Used for torque, force and strain measurement on rotating shafts and components.
Type K thermocouples
For wireless temperature acquisition on wheels and rotating components.
PT100/PT1000 temperature sensors
For precise temperature measurements with the single-channel telemetry systems.
IEPE sensors
For force and vibration measurements, e.g. on aircraft propellers.
Inductive or radio data transmission
Digital, interference-free transmission of measurement data from rotating and moving parts.
