Sensor modules from EnOcean harvest tiny amounts of energy from their surroundings, enabling them to register detected values and transmit them wirelessly. Surrounding sources of useful energy are: linear motion / pressure, light, temperature change, rotation and vibration.

Service-free energy converters

Motion converter Energy from a switching operation (button pressure):
  • Electrodynamic energy converter
  • User-dependent energy generation from button motion
  • Service-free for 50,000 switching cycles
  • For small and flat switch designs
Example: PTM 200

Solar cells For outdoor and indoor applications:
  • Small 13 x 35 mm solar cell with energy storage
  • Energy accumulation with quick start and continuous 24 h operation
  • Simple implementation of function on OEM design
Example: STM 110

Thermal converter Heat dissipation as energy source:
  • Standard Peltier element
  • Operation by minimum temperature difference
  • Service-free, fully integrable
Example: ECT 100

More about thermal converter

Rotation converter Gas and water meters rotate just like car tires and tools, and you cannot fit cables for measurement - an ideal application for wireless sensors powered by the energy of rotation.
Vibration converter Machines, motor vehicles, persons when they are running and many technical devices generate vibrations – why not make use of it?

Energy harvesting

EnOcean's technical breakthrough was to reduce the energy needed to transmit a signal to an incredibly small amount. As a result, EnOcean sensors can work where other technologies cannot. A simple example is that of our solar-powered sensors, which can even operate inside buildings where light levels are low.
