New power supply adds more precision and control in rotating telemetry applications

imc Test & Measurement has launched the xTP-NT-POWER-M module, a new inductive power supply for the MTP-NT and CTP-NT telemetry systems. This module enhances installation comfort and measurement reliability in data acquisition for rotating or pivoting components and is designed for maximum robustness in harsh environments.

Test and measurement engineers in the transportation industries face unique challenges when performing fatigue, durability, and performance tests on rotating or pivoting components. Whether in the automotive, railway, eVTOL, or heavy machinery sectors, reliable long-term measurements in challenging environments require durable technology, high-quality data, and efficient installation methods. To meet these needs, the imc MTP-NT and CTP-NT multichannel telemetry systems can now be upgraded with the new xTP-NT-POWER-M module.

Key benefits of the new power supply module include:

• Increased robustness for imc telemetry systems, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments.
• Real-time status information, giving engineers full control along the measurement chain during long-term testing campaigns.
• Faster and easier commissioning, thanks to simplified power transmission adjustments.
• Unlimited short-circuit and overload protection, safeguarding the entire telemetry system and featuring a soft start for high load capacities.
• Adjustable output voltage, enabling a wide range of telemetry applications.

Wireless data acquisition on rotating or pivoting components, often under extreme conditions and over long periods, requires technology that not only withstands these environments but also ensures uncompromising data integrity. The new imc power supply module delivers exactly this, offering engineers the confidence to run fatigue, durability, and performance tests with maximum reliability.

Use cases of rotating telemetry data acquisition include:

• Performance testing and temperature measurements on drivetrain components in automotive applications.
• Long-term fatigue testing on rotating axles and wheels in rail vehicles.
• Comprehensive Prototype testing of VTOL components and heavy machinery.

With its combination of compact design, robustness, and intelligent power management, the new power supply module represents the next level of efficiency and reliability in telemetry applications.

Jan Baldauf, general manager of imc Test & Measurement, says: “At imc, we’re committed to empowering engineers with tools that deliver uncompromising data quality under the harshest conditions. The new supply module is more than a component – it’s an enabler of progress, helping our customers push the limits of innovation in automotive, aerospace, rail, and beyond.”
