ZF has developed an innovative wireless and batteryless Energy Harvesting Technology which can provide cost effective switching solutions in a wide range of environments and applications. Energy Harvesting applications can be found in almost every market sector, including industrial installations, building automation, smart home and medical.\u00a0 Designed for global use, the technology enables ZF to offer an excellent alternative to wired or battery-powered solutions. Compatible with multiple wireless protocols, the products are suitable for global use across countless markets and applications. As there is no need to change or dispose of batteries, the solution is both environmentally friendly and maintenance-free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Besides the core component \u2013 the energy harvesting generator \u2013 ZF presented at its stand different batteryfree and wireless customer applications based on the ZF Energy Harvester: for example, a door lock from Schulte-Schlagbaum, a door contact switch from Hera for kitchen cabinets, as well as light switch modules with KNX-RF, Bluetooth or EnOcean protocol.<br \/>\nBecause of the number and quality of contacts, the ZF portfolio looks back on a successful Light + Building.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\">\n<div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\">\n<div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\">\n<div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\">\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\">\n<p>The ZF Energy Harvesting product portfolio includes a stand-alone generator and a number of packaged switch variants including a rocker switch for actuation by hand and a snap-action switch for mechanical actuation by a machine or proximity switch.<\/p>\n<p>Wireless receivers to work with ZF push button modules are available as either a self-contained packaged module, or as a \u201cRF stamp\u201d for OEM use complete with wire antenna and without an enclosure. The receiver module has multiple output options (i.e. RS232 TTL) and is suitable for wall-mounting.<\/p>\n<p>Activating any switch variant provides data transfer via RF technology, eliminating the need for expensive and complex cabling and increasing flexibility of use. Flexible pairing allows the operation of several switches with one receiver and vice-versa. Each switch has a \u201cUnique ID\u201d providing clear identification when operating several switches at once. Up to three \u201ctelegrams\u201d are sent per actuation, with pseudo-random timing to assure robust data transmission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy Harvesting Generator Technology overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Based on the inductive principle, the direction change of the magnetic field in an inductive magnetic circuit transforms mechanical energy into the electrical energy required to send an RF signal from the patented Energy Harvesting Generator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-12552\" title=\"Energy Harvesting Generator\" src=\"https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Pic-1.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 614px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Pic-1-200x67.png 200w, https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Pic-1-400x134.png 400w, https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Pic-1-600x200.png 600w, https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Pic-1.png 614w\" alt=\"Energy Harvesting Generator\" width=\"614\" height=\"205\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\">\n<p>This technology is then packaged and assembled, together with an operating mechanism, resulting in the raw form of the standard product \u2013 the generator<\/p>\n<p><strong>ZF\u2019s Energy Harvesting Generator:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-4 hover-type-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-12553\" title=\"ZF\u2019s Energy Harvesting Generator\" src=\"https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/ZFs-Energy-Harvesting-Generator.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 260px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/ZFs-Energy-Harvesting-Generator-200x194.png 200w, https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/ZFs-Energy-Harvesting-Generator.png 260w\" alt=\"ZF's Energy Harvesting Generator\" width=\"260\" height=\"252\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\">\n<p>The Energy Harvesting Generator is available separately for OEM applications with or without the RF electronics and integrated into ZF\u2019s Energy Harvesting switch modules. It consists of a coil and a magnet block which is actuated when a mechanical force acts vertically on the end of the generator\u2019s lever. A patented mechanism causes the magnetic block to move down abruptly (switching) and a positive pulse is created by reversing the polarity of the coil. When the lever is released, the system returns to the initial position (resetting) by means of the mechanism and a negative pulse is created. The energy produced is used to transmit a wireless signal indicating operation of the switch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ZF\u2019s Energy Harvesting Generator with Wireless Transmitter Electronics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-5 hover-type-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-12554\" title=\"Generator With Transmitter Electronics\" src=\"https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Generator-with-Transmitter-Electronics.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 332px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Generator-with-Transmitter-Electronics-200x301.jpg 200w, https:\/\/switches-sensors.zf.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/Generator-with-Transmitter-Electronics.jpg 332w\" alt=\"\" width=\"332\" height=\"499\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\">\n<p>The initial energy pulse created provides the harvested electrical power output, which is then transformed and averaged over time by internal energy management components to create the supply voltage for the wireless transmitter.
