Flat Spot Detector GEL 2475FD: Product Information and Promotion Fully Approved
After completing an internal review phase, we are pleased to announce that the publication and promotion of the Flat Spot Detector GEL 2475FD are once again fully approved. Updated technical information is now available, reflecting the latest validated product status.
This marks an important milestone for customers and partners who have been awaiting the release of finalised information about this advanced condition monitoring solution.
A Smart Sensor for Advanced Condition Monitoring
The GEL 2475FD Flat Spot Detector combines multiple measurement functions within a single, compact housing. It continuously measures:
Rotational speed
Vibration
Temperature
By internally evaluating this data, the sensor goes beyond providing a classic speed signal. It is capable of detecting wheel flat spots and weld build-ups and assessing their severity in discrete levels. This condition information is transmitted via a PWM signal, enabling early detection of potential issues before they lead to costly damage or downtime.
Easy Replacement and System Compatibility
One of the key advantages of the GEL 2475FD is its housing compatibility with the GEL 2475 speed sensor. This allows existing installations to be upgraded with minimal mechanical effort, making it easy to enhance monitoring capabilities without major system changes.
Designed for Rail Vehicles and Track Applications
Thanks to its multifunctional design and robust evaluation capabilities, the GEL 2475FD is an ideal solution for:
Condition monitoring of rail vehicles
Monitoring of track-related components
Predictive maintenance strategies that rely on real-time, reliable sensor data
By identifying wheel defects at an early stage, operators can improve safety, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of wheels and infrastructure.
