Manner Sensortelemetrie

What Manner Sensortelemetrie does

MANNER Sensortelemetrie GmbH is a privately held, family-controlled German engineering company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Spaichingen. It develops and manufactures contact-less sensor telemetry systems and torque measurement technology for transmitting measurement data (torque, temperature, strain, rotational speed) from rotating and moving components where slip-ring or wired approaches are impractical. The core platform combines rotor-side sensor signal conditioning, contact-less inductive and radio-frequency data/power transfer, and stator-side evaluation electronics with analog and digital output interfaces (CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, analog voltage/current/frequency).

The product portfolio is organized into three pillars. The first is telemetry systems, anchored by the modular MasterMind platform, the plug-and-play OptiMA 1-/2-channel kit, battery-powered Funk-Telemetrie, and ATEX-certified variants for explosive atmospheres. The second is torque measurement technology, comprising XtreMA (50 N·m–10 kN·m) and XtreMAX (15–500 kN·m) measuring flanges, high-speed e-motor flanges, dual-range transducers, measuring shafts, and the TelMA/TelMAX condition-monitoring sensors. The third is services: a DAkkS-accredited calibration laboratory, training, on-site commissioning, consulting, and OEM/series production under Directive 2014/34/EU. Supporting software includes the MANNER App (iOS/Android), MANNER Signal Suite, MAcquisition, and a documented integration with DewesoftX.

MANNER sells through engineering-led direct sales supported by a global distributor network of 21+ partners across Europe, Asia, and North America, complemented by an online ProductAssistant that generates individualized quotes within one working day. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through hardware sales of standardized kits and components, project-based custom engineering contracts, multi-year OEM serial-production agreements, and professional services (calibration, training, consulting). Customer industries include automotive and e-mobility (primary), aerospace, maritime, rail, wind energy, turbines, mechanical engineering, and process monitoring (extruders, compressors, gearboxes). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ATEX (TÜV SÜD), DAkkS, and DNV Type Approval certifications.
