Contactless connection systems transmit energy and data completely contact-free. This eliminates mechanical weak points and creates durable, low-maintenance interfaces—a decisive advantage for modern industrial applications.
Industrial automation is in a state of upheaval. As digitalization progresses, the requirements for flexibility, dynamics, availability and freedom from maintenance are increasing. Traditional plug connections are increasingly reaching their limits—especially with rotating or moving components. This is because abrasion, vibration and frequent mating cycles accelerate wear and lead to unplanned downtimes.
