// CONTINUOUS MONITORING
CONTACTLESS CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT FROM THE PROTECTED CORE OF THE SHAFT
Permanently installed inside hollow shafts, our sensor transmits real-time load data — without wear, without contact, without interruption.

// WHY ZYGLOX
BEYOND CONVENTIONAL METHODS
Measuring wheelsets (Messradsätze) have been the standard for decades. They work — but they come with significant limitations.
MEASURING WHEELSETS
- Complex, time-consuming installation
- Subject to wear and tear — regular replacement needed
- Periodic measurement campaigns, not continuous
- Externally mounted, exposed to environmental conditions
ZYGLOX CONTINUOUS MONITORING
- Non-destructive installation, easily removable
- Zero wear — protected inside the shaft core
- Permanent, continuous data — 24/7 monitoring
- Measures from the core, shielded from external conditions

// MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES
WHAT IT MEASURES
LOAD COLLECTIVES
Continuous recording of real-world operational loads. Build complete load spectra over the full service life of every equipped axle.
LEFT / RIGHT DIFFERENTIATION
Independently measure loads on left and right wheels. Detect asymmetric loading, track wear patterns, and identify route-specific stress.
TORSION
Direct measurement of axle torsion during operation. Detect drivetrain anomalies, braking forces, and rotational stress in real time.
// UNIVERSAL APPLICABILITY
NOT JUST RAILWAY
The Villari effect works on any rotating ferromagnetic part. Railway axle monitoring is our established use case, but the same sensor principle applies wherever hollow shafts rotate under load.
