Visit us at the HANNOVER MESSE 2025

25. March 2025/in Events, MEMS, MOEMS

From 31st March to 4th April 2025, the CiS Research Institute will be presenting its technology portfolio at #hmi25. In Hall 6 at the LEG joint stand in Thuringia (Stand F61), our experts will be presenting silicon-based MEMS and MOEMS sensor concepts for a wide range of applications

Project result ZugKraftSensor: Sensors for belt tension monitoring

26. February 2025/in Force, MEMS

The “ZugKraftSensor” project developed a silicon-based technology platform for permanently monitoring belt tension up to a load of around 35 kN in drive technology systems. By monitoring the mechanical tension, maintenance intervals can be planned precisely, material fatigue can be detected at an early stage and unplanned downtimes can be avoided

Project start ZugKraftSensor – Elastically stable tensile force sensors for belt tension monitoring

1. February 2022/in Force, MEMS

To determine belt tension, the CiS Research Institute is developing a tensile force sensor based on Si strain gauges that are integrated directly into the steel cord of the belt. The project starts on 01.02.2022 and aims at applications in the drive technology of large plants
