Industrial studies and prototypes concerning contactless transmission of power and data

The contactless inductive energy transmission technology opens up new possibilities for the energy supply of stationary, rotary and linear moving consumers without wiper contacts and trailing cables. Due to the nearly maintenance-free systems, production losses can be avoided and maintenance costs can be reduced con­siderably. Based on the long-term research and development experience of the institute ifak, special solutions for different industrial and non-industrial applications of contactless transmission of power and data were studied, for example in medical systems, applications in electric mobility, in the automotive field and com­po­nents in the aviation. The application-specific solutions contain the calculation and optimi­sation of the induc­tive transmission assembly and the power electronic components on the primary and secondary side as well as the development of prototypes. Based on the positive results of the studies and prototypes, development projects have begun for the most promising applications.
